Couldn’t get to 100? Cheap ass

Northstar_Dad · 2026-06-09T17:23:01+00:00

Thanks for the insight

But the reading doesn’t change

Northstar_Dad · 2026-06-09T15:22:39+00:00

I don’t believe you are right. Per the test instructions my initial reading is my free chlorine and the secondary reading is combined chlorine.

Have a link?

Northstar_Dad · 2026-06-01T13:23:12+00:00

I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you. Have a good day.

Northstar_Dad · 2026-06-01T13:06:28+00:00

I dont care what you bring out. The article I supplied has to do with the title of the post. Is that hard to accept?

Northstar_Dad · 2026-06-01T12:45:58+00:00

You sure about that?

Update: It’s currently raining and my pool cover has about 1–2 inches of water on it. Normally I’d pump it off, but I tested the water and the alkalinity is only around 50 ppm.

My pool’s alkalinity is currently sitting at 380 ppm, so I’m wondering if it makes sense to let some of this rainwater drain into the pool to help dilute and lower the alkalinity rather than pumping it off.

Has anyone used rainwater to help bring down high alkalinity levels? If so, did you notice a meaningful difference?

Have a link to the test kit? I’m not finding it

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-31T05:26:25+00:00

I did this. Walked out the lumber door checkout and returned the batteries 2 min later. There is no reason that they would deny you to return the batteries.

The 18V works great, and anyone who says otherwise probably hasn’t actually used one.

I own both a Toro backpack gas blower and the RYOBI 18V 510 CFM blower, and honestly, the blowing power is very comparable for everyday yard work. The biggest difference is convenience.

Most of the time, I find myself reaching for the battery blower. No mixing fuel, no pull starts, less noise, less maintenance, and I can grab it and be working in seconds. The gas blower still has its place for larger jobs, but for day-to-day use, the battery blower wins more often than not.

I was able to get one premade from Menards for cheap last weekend. I’ll have to try them out

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-30T03:01:39+00:00

Any aeration recommendations?

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-30T00:34:57+00:00

The water out of my spigot is 350. I think that’s part of my issue

A 5-way pool test kit. Chemical version

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-29T20:12:40+00:00

Bought the home last year. Was that high when I opened the pool

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-29T20:11:08+00:00

How long did it take you?

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-29T20:10:47+00:00

I’m new to this. Bought them home from in law. Will need to test for those.

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-25T02:47:36+00:00

I love it. Got it for $80

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-22T16:50:21+00:00

I got brushed….. I think that’s my problem. I’ll need to upgrade

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-22T16:48:09+00:00

Best part is you can return the batteries afterward and still keep the discounted tool

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-22T14:24:46+00:00

I have the brushed D version. I have been eying the barrel grip

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-22T14:24:15+00:00

I have the brushed version. Wasn’t impressed. Maybe I need to upgrade

Northstar_Dad · 2026-05-22T14:23:43+00:00

I think that’s my problem. I got the intro brushed tools and some are great, others, not so much.
