Thanks all

We need to raise the CH level. Was looking at the local pool store, 25# bucket was > $220. Found this on-line: HARRIS Swift "Polar Melt" Melt Calcium Chloride Snow and Ice Melter, 15lb. It's calcium chloride pellets. $38 Less than 1/2 the price of the pool store option. See any downside to...

To close this story, took a few days, but as of Saturday 7/15, pool back to where it should be. A positive or two is what one can learn when issues arise. I gained some good knowledge during his excercise. Thanks again all.

Roger on the additives (for now. Have questions about them I'll raise later) So took measurements this AM. pH is holding at 7.5, CYA @ 30; however, Chlorine back to 0. I added 1 gal, 3 cups of bleach (have to get more). Plus, the panel shows my salt Amps trending back up, > 8, again (saw...

Neighbor gave me some sodium dichlor chlorine granules and some yellow treat they had left over. Any reason I shouldn't add that into the mix? Also, pH at 7.5 (added 6 ozs of acid, attempting to reach 7.4 target), my CYA is now at 30. Added my first application of 10% bleach, 1 gal, 7 cups...

"...stabilizer to ultimately get to around 70 ppm." You kind of lost me here. Get which reading to 70ppm? And the pool math app is recommending I add 21oz of dry stabilizer. Does that make sense to you, agree with that dosage? (see snapshot)

Taylor K-1000 included with the TF-100 package. I say 8.4 because it was darker than the top of the scale 8.2. I guess I could have/should have listed it as 8.2+ Just tested it again, ~30 minutes after adding Pool Math app recommended dosage. Down to 7.8. Which is good news. Headed in the right...

Thanks for your reply. "Happy hunting". LoL

My pH reading was 8.4. Not quite sure where you saw the 6.4. Thanks for your reply.

Update: I kept adding fresh water via garden hose. Finally got the salt level/amp readings read by the panel to a point where the Amps dropped. It's now in a range where the SWG could operate as needed. Took readings this, 7/9, AM: pH: 8.4 NOTE: I’ve been fighting to get these down to...

Thanks for the above. I'll review the information in the link you provided, and check out the board. Thanks again.

No sir. The Goldline Controls remote panel, which is remotely connected the main board. While I do want to test with the Taylor kit, and see what the readings show, I think it's important that the readings from the panel are taken into account, as it's those reading that will ultimately control...

Ok, so over the last couple of days, while the pump was running, I had a garden hose dropped in at one end of the pool adding new fresh water. This was my way of diluting the water to get the sallt ppms in check. I've been steadily cycling the system at the "Diagnostic" level and seeing the ppms...

Just ran across a video that warned against draining a pool when the temps are hot, like they currently are in Houston, TX. Temps will reach close to 100 again today (Sunday 7/2). Current temp at 7:45 AM Central is 82. Would it best then for me to drain in the early morning hours, say from...
