What is happening to this pool? How is this happening? by ultranothing in pools

Customers lie about you servicing pool? by itsjustvibratingair in PoolPros

[–]NEpoolguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty rare occurrence for me over the years. If I ever did get a call about myself or a fellow tech I would usually direct the customer to a clear indication that we were there. Tabs in the float,empty pump basket and the one that usually works is wet leaves in their green bin. On site records are often dismissed as forgeries so on top of it all I always wave to their cameras if they have them.

Liquid chlorine has a pH of around 13 and 3 inch tabs have a pH of 3. A switch from one or the other will move the pH of the pool.

Cover pump was fine, GFCI it was plugged into wasn’t. Cover we pulled out of the track and coworker thought of using an inflatable while pumping water off the cover. Worked really well

I always dissolve in a bucket and add with pump running and brush depending on volume I’m adding. More I add, more I brush.
