What is the best material to buy for my 12x18ft AG pool. I have never had a cover and just always used a leaf net. This year I got a new liner after 10 years and want to cover it properly. I see different typs of materials out there.. Im in NJ and get snow and such.. Thanks

How are you exactly getting this reading.. ? To test high chlorine levels you need a DPD powder.. See here Amazon.com : Taylor Replacement Reagent FAS-DPD Refill Kit (Large) - Over 100 Tests : Patio, Lawn Garden With a CYA of 50 ( if that is indeed accurate ) your shock level needs to be at...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor I found out the cart has some thin spots. No holes but I can see light. I actually hooked up both filters in series. I finally removed the cart because I thing the filter is shot. I am running sand filter again. I am home all day...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor Still shocking, and still cloudy. Pump running 24/7. Fc 13 ph 7.2 alk 80 cya 30

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor I actually washed the cart in the dish washer. I removed the top rack so it would fit....LOL. Hey, I read that somewhere. It cleaned it pretty good, then I did the acid. It got the pressure to start at 15psi, instead of 18 psi. So it...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor I switched it back to the cart yesterday. OK went out and vacuumed the pool blind since I cant see the bottom. I did this a few times with the sand filter earlier in the week. Cleaned cart to 15 psi. Did 1/3 the pool and pressure...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor Good morning. OK checked the pool FC this morning. Over 5 so I diluted the test 1/2 and 1/2 and got a FC 6 Pool is still cloudy and filter pressure seems to stop at 19 psi. Starts at 15 psi. But it was up to 19 psi before I went to...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor OK read it wrong, or thought it wrong. Its been a long day. Yes it says subtract FC from TC. +1...duhhh. I feel stupid.

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor OK went out to shock. Silly question. Before I shocked I got FC 1 5 drops r1 and 5 drops r2 TC 2 After adding 5 drops r3 in the same mixture from above went from 1 to 2. So TC 2? Correct? CC -1 (here is the...

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor OK, off to shock then.

Re: Still cloudy after opening. I am thinking too much chlor Not really. I have a thread regarding adding DE to the sand filter I had hooked up. And one regarding high ph when I shocked. Like I said the pool was a swamp last tuesday. Its been white cloudy for I just tested the chlorine. Its...

FC. Shock level 13+ (Have not added any bleach in 36 hours) PH. 7.2 ( Was 12+ while shocking. Came down when I stopped adding Bleach) Alk. 80 ( has not changed since opening) Hardness 17 ppm or 1 gpg (Tested with my...

Oh is that why..Duh.. I am on a well. I can just use out of the tap?

It next yr yeah!!! I still found that bleach. No #'s on to tell the strength. Its down to $1.48 gal regular price. Can I use RO water instead of distilled to dilute the test 50/50?

I water the test down half tap half pool. 6200 gal I add 1 1/2 gall of bleach for about a 13 chloine. If its a 5 ppm I double and assume its a 10, and add half a gallon to bring back up to 13-14. I started Tuesday and went through about 18 gallons so far. $1.50 a gallon. Trying to keep level...
