      What do you think about solar ionizers they supply Cu to help control algae and bacteria growth

      In installed a new circulating pump and pressure switch on my caldera spa and the circulating pump still won’t switch on. Please help!

      Is muriatic acid safe to use in vinyl liner pools to reduce alkalinity or only safe for gunite pools? Stick to dry acid for vinyl lined pools?

    I’m so happy to say this summer I’ve had absolutely no issues with keeping the water crystal clear all bc of your videos! 4 years struggling so bad I wanted to give up . I can’t thank you enough!

    This video was fantastic! However, don't make the mistake I did and run your pool pump on filter mode. I added muriatic acid six different times with no change my numbers, because I did not pay attention to what is said in this video at minute 4:00. Last night, after closely paying attention to this video, I added the muriatic acid and ran it on recirculate and it dropped my alkalinity in half!

    If the hot tub is clean and hot Will turning the Circulation off through the night Keep it hotter It is in a summer house That is insulated With special silver bubble wrap insulation and wood panelled It is the lazy spa hawaiian So it has the inflatable lid as well as being in a sealed room this is in the uk 🇬🇧 But if the temperature outside is 20°c its around 30°c inside We normally set it to 35°c through the night And we just put it up to 38 4-5 hours before we want to get in

    Hi! Can I ask if my pool has floor tiles already and we’re planning to paint it, what paint should I use? Thanks in advance for your advice ❤

    for eye protection, do NOT use Goggles while handling muriatic acid ! Use open type of eye protection such as glasses or an open full face shield. As you know, the MA fumes are very strong and caustic, if the fumes somehow happen to get inside your goggles, your eyes can get burned due to lack of ventilation inside the goggles.

      @@SwimUniversityHopefully it goes without saying to be careful with that stuff. But I have a friend who's a moron and actually had this happen to him. I know he's not the only moron out there, so I figured I would just throw this in the mix.

    Ive been pouring a measured amount into a large plastic measuring cup, ex. 20 0unces, then into a plastic bucket half full of water. How else do you know how much to pour from the gallon acid container.I pour directly into pool from gallon container if i need a half or full gallon which i am comfortable eye balling.

    Hey, I want to ask you about which product is good to adjust the pH and why. Between these two products, sulfuric acid (liquid or dry) and hydrochloric acid, and also about the chlorine shock, which is the best: calcium hypochlorite or TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid)

    • @drdrew3

      Muriatic acid. Cal hypo

    I dilute my muriatic acid in a 20,000 gallon bucket. 🙄

  • @flickboogers9325
    @flickboogers9325 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So I just let my pool run on filter mode and I add the acid all around the perimeter of the pool while wearing gloves goggles and a mask. Is this okay because I don't dilute?

    • @SwimUniversity
      @SwimUniversity  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That is technically okay, it's just more risky for staining or splash back.

  • @licey71
    @licey71 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a 14k gallons pool and my ph was at 8. Problem is I added 28 oz of muriatic acid in one pour and I have always been told never to add more than 25 oz. Will this be a problem? Should I do something?

    • @SwimUniversity
      @SwimUniversity  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      How were your pH levels after doing this? You can always bring them up by aerating your water (running the jets and water features)

  • @Abraxastrust
    @Abraxastrust 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Never used glasss or gloves. Even had some splash on my hand. It's not a big deal. Be careful and don't rush . And don't over think it

  • @drdrew3
    @drdrew3 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just pour the desired amount of acid directly into a circulating pool. Make sure too are upwind and no splashing. So simple

    • @morganmaycumber2050
      @morganmaycumber2050 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah that’s what I do. I pour very carefully and slowly over the deep end and then brush the sides afterwards to ensure no etching.

      That's what I did, hopefully I don't mess anything up, but I'm sure it will be fine.

    I help my dad clean pools and I accidentally took a good breath of muratic acid and everything instantly went grey lol

    This is a scam to get your email address. I inputted my email address multiple times to get his pool care sheet and nothing arrived. I tried a second email, nothing.

    • @ChrisField13

      Worked for me. Most likely just an issue with delivery.

      Not everything is a scam, the page has a ton of free info that tons of people have benefitted from. Sounds more like user error to me.

      I just went to their website, put my email address in and in no time, the cheat sheet was emailed to me.

    @Kevinr14 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    This is so silly. I simply pour the acid into a measuring cup them slowly pour it in front of a return so it mixes in thoroughly. No need to dilute it before putting in the pool.

    • @jacobwilkins3158
      @jacobwilkins3158 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The only problem with this is that it could splash or spill very easily as well as when you dump into a small container the fumes can freely come out and you inhale it.

    Wow I’ve never poured acid into my pool. Never use any of the water test kits either. Just chlorine tablets and shock it when needed. Had the pool for 10 years. No skin burns or anything. Find that sweet spot and use your coconut! 😂

    • @drdrew3

      Every pool is different. But yours is magical and doesn’t believe in science

    • @Mike-pb6lw
      @Mike-pb6lw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Chlorine tablets are highly acidic but the also add CYA. When my CYA gets too high from tabs I switch to liquid chlorine or Calhypo but as soon as I stop the tabs I notice my PH starts to skyrocket so the acid is necessary
