Keep it simple and don't buy everything the kid at the pool store sells. I use enough tri-chlor to maintain a reasonable stabylizer level (that 10-20 you spealk of) and bleach to maintain the chlorine level. I end up with a shot of acid now and then to hold the pH. That keeps my pool sparkling. I hear tell of people having to use acid to hold pH. Here in GA, my water is just the opposite, you need to raise pH. Instead of using pH Up, use 20 mule team borax, right out of the grocery store for about 10% of the price!. Raise alkalinity with baking soda, the same exact thing the pool store sells you for three times as much. I use plain old bleach to both keep my chlorine level up to the range specified by the amount of stabilizer, and to shock. Here is a website that has that information, you'll like it, this guy is a pool brain! http://www.poolsolutions.com and here is a forum of people who use his methods: http://www.poolforum.com If you go in the forums, someone has even written a small program called bleach calc, you just plug in the capacity of your pool in gallons, if you are using 5% or 6% (ultra) bleach, and it will tell you the amount of bleach to add to get to x ppm. It also has calcs for adjusting pH, Alk, and stabilizer. I only use pucks if I go on vacation or something, so I have to add stabilizer once in awhile. This guy also debunks a lot of pool store myths. I laugh at the beginning of the season when I go to the pool store to watch those guys load everybody up with a couple hundred bucks worth of pretty much worthless crap, and I get to smallest package of pucks I can get! Anyway, check these guys out! Swimming pool chlorine and household bleach are both Sodium Hypochlorite. Just calculate which is cheaper to buy. The pool chlorine is 2-3 times the strength of normal bleach. And Ultra Clorox is about 1/3 stronger than standard bleach. You can't understand a damned thing, can you, Bill? Most chlorine you buy for swimming pools is either Tri-chlor or Di-chlor and have stabilizer added. You keep adding stabilizer, and the chlorine demand goes up. It's a catch 22. Those who listen to the pool store people are getting duped. You go the pool store and by your Alkalinity Up from them at five times the cost of baking soda bought at the store. They are the EXACT same thing. Then go to the pool store and let them sell you PH UP, and five times the price of Borax, which is the EXACT same thing. Then let them sell you tri-chlor pucks that raise your stabilizer levels to the point where you have to keep your chlorine levels so high that everything bleaches out in a matter of minutes just to keep algae from forming. Buy liquid chlorine from the pool supply store and it is Sodium Hypochlorite. f'n idiot. Said nothing about the pucks. Which I use and buy from Costco and seems to work well on a gunite pool. So you get the water tested yearly and dump some water of the stabilizer gets to high. For the liquid, you go to the pool store and buy the liquid which is Sodium Hypochlorite. |

I suppose you also let them sell you baking soda (Alkalinity UP) for $1.50 a pound when you can get it in the grocery store for $0.25 a pound? How about PH UP? Do you let the pool store sell that to you at 5 times the cost of Borax from the grocery? Do you let them talk you into algaecides at $30 or so a pop? |

Using pucks is very handy when we travel for extended periods during the summer and the people next door can use the pool and add some pucks to the floater. My pool looks really fine all the time. I also use a Polaris to keep it clean. You make the wife vacuum the leaves? |

Using pucks is very handy when we travel for extended periods during the summer and the people next door can use the pool and add some pucks to the floater. My pool looks really fine all the time. I also use a Polaris to keep it clean. You make the wife vacuum the leaves? No. I have a Polaris also, but very seldom use it. So, what is the ppm of your CYA, and chlorine? What is your pH and ALK? Speaking of dumbass, you just keep giving your money to the pool store. Let them talk you into algaecides, clarifiers, etc!! Then, go he http://www.poolsolutions.com and find out how the real pros do it. |
