Stop wasting money on expensive pool chemicals. Perfect pool water can be easy and cheap to obtain. Testing your water is important but fixing things in the correct sequence is the most important step.

No, not correct. You also need algaecide and stabilizer, and other chemicals depending on if you have a concrete pool.

The unit heats up fast and is super quiet. It looks fancy kzfaq.infoUgkxl8Od2BvnGbn1ffwqsuFXW0QnmcZgMiVY and can be kept in the living room. It gets hot within a split second of turning on the unit. The build quality is exceptionally good and is safe to be around kids and pets. This one is super quiet and can be kept on while in office meetings, my wife loved it. It shows the temperature right on the unit which is very useful and adding a rotating feature helps to heat up the surrounding, so other people will not fight with you for heat. It is right as described in the description..!! Definitely recommend!!

Speaking with 40 years experience I’ll say that ph and alkalinity are critical to proper sanitation of a pool. Baking soda will indeed work to raise total alkalinity. That said, it’s simply not true that pool store alkalinity increaser is exactly the same as baking soda. It’s purified so you’re not adding minerals and metals to the water that will interfere with the sanitation process (household baking soda is not) and when at high enough levels will cause staining plus it’s hydrogenated so it will give more impact per pound. I’ll add you need to test water at least once a year for water hardness or calcium levels, phosphorus, copper and iron especially if it’s present in your source water. $.02

This video summed up everything I learned in10 years of pool care. Alkalinity level is very important and can be a little difficult to achieve compared to other chemicals. Shock is easy just add it to your pool 1 lb to 8,000 to 10,000 gallons. Add most definitely "Stabilizer", its sort of expensive but added it helps maintain these levels without the sun burning off everything. Its well worth it in the long run. Every summer I have to relearn these steps again. TY Great Video!! PS most shocks will give you the PH level you need when added to a proper level Alkalinity pool.

@PappyNet01 11 ай бұрын

Well, I looked at swimming pool and the water was yellowish/greenish - most likely the dead algae. We have had a lot of rain and when it isn't raining it is HOT and HUMID! I might have to try vacuum the swimming pool again, but that is a real challenge because I do not have skimmer vacuum plate - I just shoved the hose down the pipe. I did my first vacuum in nearly 5 years a couple of weeks ago. I removed the equipment that has been stowed in the cedar chest for a couple of years. The suction head may be salvageable if I can get replacement wheels and bearings, but that will be a pain. The swimming pool vacuum hoses are mostly intact, the swimming pool vacuum cannister - Wesson - appeared intact and without any cracks in the plastic housing. I used a suction head that is basically a triangular brush with maybe 30-feet of good vacuum hose line. I had a successful first vacuum with old equipment that I pieced together. Early this evening I did my usual swimming pool cleaning method: Step 0; Rinse the pool deck free of debris Step 1; Checked and emptied the skimmer basket free of debris and leaves Step 2; Brushed the floor and walls of the swimming pool Step 3; Checked the Chlorinating Tablet Floater it has tablets Step 4; Performed a full cycle cleaning of the swimming pool plumbing system; backwash, rinse and return to filtration Step 5; Added water to the swimming pool to account for the backwash and evaporation Usually I am just adding shock and liquid chlorine at different times on different days. In the past when the pool has gotten to this condition it usually tested to add approximately 20lbs to 35lbs of calcium Step 6; Added eight ounces-(8-oz) of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to balance the swimming pool ie., clear up the water by lowering the alkalinity or raising the ph - I am eyeballing it because I have not tested the swimming pool in months!

If you have a saltwater pool…this is not needed. You just need to check your salt levels…and add more salt. I found the balance sweet spot of 3500 ppm of salt which keeps the water easy to maintain. Mostly just need to check stabilizer and chlorine levels. And twice a year I check for phosphates.

@_mysilentblue2227 Ай бұрын

You might want to keep an eye on your hardness too because if your water is to "scaling" it will shorten the lifespan of your electrode. Hardness/Alkalinity to low it will erode the pool surface, basically trying to find neutral by extracting the calcium from the pools surface. (This is all referencing concrete pools)

@josephlamadrid1799 My local pool supply & service did the same thing to me when I was new to pool ownership. I left there with a pool pharmacy of stuff and instructions for what, when and how much, but never these 2 at the same time, yadda yadda. Come back in a week with a lab sample. Lol. Which I did, and left another hundred bucks lighter with some new prescriptons and some dosage changes to the old ones. A co-worker who was an experienced pool owner told me this: After about 3 years, pool water gets tired and can't suspend everything very well. When it gets to where u can't correct one thing without messing up another: Drain and Refill your pool. Fresh new water, just like when it was new. A couple hundred $ on your water bill but so what? You're good for at least another 3 years. . . OR, if you'd like, you can spend the same $200 and more on chemicals running back n forth to the pool place, AND spend all your time dicking with your pool instead of enjoying it. 👏👍
