I would take a water sample in twice a year to monitor the TDS levels, and the Chlorine Stabilizer( conditioner), and the Calcium Hardness.

Liquid Chlorine has no Stabilizer in it , but it is a dirty chlorine with undisolvable solids , TDS levels

Tablets are dichlorol with a stabilizer in it..

You want to watch for the stabilizer level. too low, and you will burn liquid chlorine like a 370Z burns oil, haha, Too high and the chlorine can "lock" and even though the chlorine level is high, it won't work as well.

Also you must "shock " the pool( raise the level past 3.0) to get rid of the chloramines in the water.. If the pool smell like chlorine, that may be chloramines due to low levels of chlorine for an extended period of time. Not good.

The reason for the two water samples, is one at winter temps, and one at summer temps..You are doing this to check the calcium hardness, and P.H. and things to protect the pipes and the vessel ( the pool body). These levels are different for fiberglas pools vs. Plaster pools.

Yes, I lived the pool boy life back in the 1980's in Marin County California...And yes, I have the stories to prove it...Horny women in Marin just like Beverly Hills.

I PM's him Bucket. LOL
I don't check my levels. I have water from the town water supply and the treat it when it gets filled. I found all I was doing was chasing the levels. I think I have come up with a good maint sched. and the water stays clear and doesn't burn the eyes.

As soon as the last person in the office leaves it's shoes off and music on. Our fridge is stocked with beer, too.

Don't want to drink, though, because after a few beers I start to slow down and am more prone to make mistakes. Odd.

Thanks, I have forgotten a lot over the years, but back in the day when you have 75 pools a week, you get really good at it..It only takes 4 or 5 going bad to wreck your week..

You would leave the extra gallon for the customer to add mid week, and they wouldn't..

You can only add so many tablets when you are there..

And watch out about adding 3" tabs to the skimmer..Now days they have PVC pipes on the new pools but even then, you can fry the insides of the equipment.. Floaters are the key..

He will need that knowledge to maintain his property. I'm not sure how much longer my pool liner is going to last. It is a vinyl liner that is about 30 years old atleast. Not sure when it goes if I can get a spray in done to replace it. The sand base of the pool has shifted over the last 2 years. I know that if I replace the vinyl with another vinyl liner I will loose my diving well cause they don't make vinyl liner with them anymore. I don't know if it is legal for the spray in guys to allow me to keep the diving well either.
