DE filter. This should bring my levels to 80ppm for CYA. Should I raise my SWG or just play it out?

Straight into the skimmer. I just added 4 more pounds of stabilizer. I will retest levels in a week?

I just put in 2lbs of granular stabilizer. Should I lower the SWG to 20%?

Just tested my water. I have an FC level of 4 and a CYA level of 45/50. Pool is very clear. SWG is currently operating at 40%. Ph is 7.6. Is my CYA level good? I tried reading the chart on the site, but wanted an experts opinion.

just did the test this morning before the sun. FC= 7.5 (15 drops / 2) CC= 0. (5 drops of R0003- water didn't turn pink) Good to go? Is my chlorine high? Should I turn SWG down a little?

Ok..speak to you in the morning

So I'm turning the SWG off tn and testing before the sun comes up?

Ok, my taylor k2006 fasdpd kit finally came and I was able to get my levels. This is what I'm working with FC= 7.4 CC= 1.4 Ph= 7.8 CYA= 55 My SWG is currently pumping at 60%. Water is very clear. Just not sure if my numbers are ok or if I need to do a overnight test.

I know, but my test kit is coming on the 8th. How can I keep my pool from spiraling out of control in the mean time? My last"pool strip" reading had the FC at 10 & the CYA at 50. Right now my SWG is off bc the chlorine level is high. When should I turn it back on? When the strip reads 5 in...

Is time of the essence? The sooner the better, or can I do this on Monday? - - - Updated - - - Just jammed pack right now

My test kit hasn't come yet..all's I have are my strips...FC is 10..CYA is 50..but you know these strips aren't accurate..if it's dead algae, should I power vac out of pool, or can I run through my pool vac filter (not my pool filter)

..My pool is clear, but when I brush the liner a cloudy film gets kicked up, almost like a powder, then it settles again. Any idea if that is normal? Salt pool..DE filter.

I think I figured it out from the manual of my SWG. I started the intellichlor with 0 FC and the demand for chlorine was so high it wasn't able to reach break-point chlorination. Manual says it won't be able to produce enough if demand is high. I was supposed to have the stabilized at 2.0-4.0...

SWG is a brand new intellichlor and all lights are green

Don't know if I need to SLAM my pool or just need to raise the CYA level. I have a 24,000 gallon salt pool and have a current CYA of 45. I shocked my pool 3 days ago with 3lbs of granular and 2 days ago with 4lbs. I ran my SWG at super boost for 48 hrs, but my FC level is at 0. Even when I...
