salt added, brushed the pool, all desolved. will take a reading in 24 hrs.

the the question is: if I add my recommeded (pool math app) amount of salt this afternoon. How long before I do a follow up salt test for it to be accurate using my Taylor K-1766 ?

can I realisticly get a fairly accurate reading on a CYA test today, its cloudy and raining ? Would it be ok to get a water sample and test it in the house in a well lit area, like under a lamp. My water is clear after sweeping & vacuming numerous times. I have put liquid chlorine to it and...

repair consisted of cleaning up the rust, then sprayed the wall with flex seal, then glued a metal patch with flex seal glue, let it dry up for 48 hours. Then proceeded to fabricate new gaskets out of rubber. Lubed the gaskets and reinserted the light housing & bulb. Then for good mesure, a...

battling last 2 weeks with a repair to the return jet area of my AGP. Frost / ice pulled the hose to witch the pool light/return jet was attached. A round hole streatched and now oval shaped, causing a leak and repairs to be done. Finalizing my patch work later today.... and fill it up again...

I had a similar issue last year with a rusty return, what i assume was caused by frost during winter months. The hole was streatched almost oval. My buddy made a similar patch out of aluminum. It lasted great for the duration of last summer. Yesterday, I went under the deck to inspect it...

sorry for the delay in my replying, Saturn94, first of all my power indicator was not stable sometimes showing on sometimes off with the switch in the "ON" position. Then discovered that it was not generating chlorine even at 100% output selection. the replacement was cheap and relatively...

Perfect I was thinking it may be hard on the plumbing equipment and t 9 cell

Took a week to receive replacement thermistor via Amazon, my Aquarite is now back functional. I really did not know this was a common thing. I almost took the plunge and buy a new Aquarite panel. Actually it was fairly simple and cost me less than $20 instead of $650. Anyway in the mean time...

I just completed overnight test with less than 1 ppm loss, my FC level maintained at 20 slam level. Time to move to my SWG for chlorine. QUESTION do I wait till FC is below 10 to test and add salt ?

my question is, after adding muriad acid to drop the PH, how long do I wait before taking another reading to see if my PH is at proper level. I'm guessing 45 minutes...but unsure can someone please chime in ? now what about adding stabilizer (sock method of course), im thing 24 hours, before I...

I need to replace my T9, do I order the W3T or GLX ?

thank you, the sign out and then login again worked to sync both devices together.

happy to report Slam was successful, waiting for FC to drop below 10 and raise water temp so we can swim this coming weekend. Every year I lean something new about pool chemistry....hopefully it wont always be the hard way lol. Summer begins :)
