Great to know! Thanks again you all!!!! I promise to listen and apply what I'm learning. I'll let you know if I have anymore problems.

Can anyone tell me what Baking Soda is used for? In English if possible, not that familiar with pool talk just yet! Thanks!

Ok, thank you! I'm really trying hard to understand. I appreciate all the helpful ideas! I will read what you mentioned. Thanks again!

Well, I dont really know how to tell the size :oops: Still not quiet understanding what you all are saying about the tabs. Are you saying I can only use 6 forever or what? I'm sorry, I'm slow!!!!! :?

Yes, I am trying to use it, just learning how actually :? I feel pretty dumb! Ha, Ha!

So, like the schedule you gave me previously, works with these tabs? You said, and I quote, "Do away with one says dose of dichlor" . Should I keep using these through out the summer, or is this something thats temperary, like the Dichlor process you mentioned? Hope I'm not asking something...

Thanks again Leebo for your great words of encouragement. I will probably keep putting in the Chlorinated tabs cause I like them so far. I put bleach in just a minute ago. Feeling good about everything. :-D Have been swimming, water's been clear. So, maybe I'm going to find my rhythm soon...

Thanks everyone for such good advice! :goodjob: One thing that I failed to mention, after I tested this morning, is that I had already tested last night to and when my ph was 6.8 and my FC was 0, even then. I took it upon myself to add a supper chlorinating tab (HTH ones, 3 in) in a floater...

Oh, I didn't know that about the CYA level. Thanks! I dont really understand what you mean about the store results. :?

I took a sample of my water this morning and the FC is low, not sure it's even registering. My PH looks like it's still 6.8. I've got a box of borax. Was wondering if it's a good idea to go ahead and get my PH up and worry about the bleach after sundown. Will my PH go back down if I go ahead...

Thank you Leebo, again! I think now I feel better, your a big help!

Sorry everyone, didn't mean to open to many threads. I dont even us facebook, i absolutely dont know what Im doing. Please be patient with me. Will try to be better, Again Sorry, but just need so much help it's crazy. I'm actually going crazy. Everyone has been very helpful and I appreciate it!

Have another question about the CYA test that I took today. I did everything it said to do, but when I put water into the slim cylinder, I filled it all the way to the top and still the black dot didn't disappear. What does that mean? Is it to low or two high? Please help! Thanks!

Re: Test Results after shocking with bleach Thanks Leebo, Appreciate what you said. I know I will one day get the hang of this, so I will never give up. My water in my pool is only a few days old. I have already shocked it with 3-gallons of bleach at 6%. I done that last night, and today...

Thanks, you've been a big help. I guess I'll leave you alone for awhile, but thanks again! Later on soon, I'll put test results, including cya!
