    Finally Up and Running!

    Thanks Jason! Looks like one of the kids lowered the percentage on the SWG. :hammer: LOL. I added some chlorine and bumped up the percentage on the SWG. I will also add some CYA to raise to about 80. Thanks for the advice and have a great weekend! :cheers: Thanks G

    OK... it's been a month or so since I posted any results so here they are. I planned on adding more conditioner to bring my CYA up but any other suggestion? Thanks! CL = .5 BR = 1 PH = 7.8 FC = .5 CC = 1 TA = 160 CH = 250 CYA = 60

    Thanks frustratedpoolmom! The water is perfect because of this web site! The water feels perfect as well. The kids jump in right after school and stay in the pool for about 3 to 4 hours at a time with no red eye! I didn't have enough $$$ for a heater but the pool is between 80 - 85 degrees. I...
