I just bought a above ground pool and the ph , chlorine and total alkalinity level are high. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? What I should buy or use?

Also ..

Wal mart has a pool supply section , they have starter kits with basic supplies and test kits at your finger tips.

The instructions are pretty straight forward.

1. Test water.

2. Add chemicals.

3. Test again.


That sort of thing.

I got that kit. The test strips say that those levels were high. Just doesnt explain how to fix the problem.

OPTION 1
Get the kit, and READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.

OPTION 2
Drain water. Fill with water of appropriate ph , chlorine and total alkalinity levels.
Its really that simple.

Ok asshole it is not. For the hose water alone is high in levels!!! That is without the chemicals! The kit says how to fucking read the strips and what to put in the pool initially fag. However it does not say how to correct the levels. I did read the manual. Go be an ass else where. If you dont know then dont answer this thread.


I am looking for anyone who may know what it takes. This is my first pool and real advice would be helpful. I have searched around the webz and different sites say different things. I would prefer to know from someone who has had experience with setting a pool up.

Products similar to the one above come it kits, with chemicals and can get you started.


Just do a search for 'pool' @ Lowes or Home Depot .... and BOTH of those places have staff than can help you select items and they dont charge you anything for advice.

Try calling the company of the kit and asking them. Maybe they can help you?

Hehe.

Was kinda taking the piss in a semi rude manner.
I thought it was kinda funnny in a semi rude way at the time. Could have beeen alcohol induced.
Anyway, glad you got it sorted.
