So if every test strip says it's 30 to 40, why is that not reliable. I understand if it's 30 vs 60 but it's not. It's an allowable difference of 10. Believe me I understand the reagents are better but I dint have one. I'll get one but time is a factor too. If test strips are Crud then it's...

I have a real kit for the chlorine

Well.. that will not be good. That said the strip measures 30 to 50 , I'm using 40 for the computation. I've never seen it higher on the strip but have seen it at 0.

I only have a test strip to measure Cya. Will do on the filter. Not sure I can get my hands on the DE but I'll look into it

Thank you. I did a large scouring yesterday though the skimmer could always use more help. I'll check it every 2 hours today to see where the FC is at and add more if it drops below 16.

July 4th 845 pm Cya 40, fc 19,cc 0.5 ( fc was to be 16, it was higher) July 5th 720 am Cya 40, fc 19, cc 0.5 Pool appears light tint of green and cloudy. Also after putting in liquid chlorine steps always show presence of brownish flakes next morning. They brush off easily. So the missing...

Just tested the water at 9 am Everything was the same however TC and FC dropped to 6ppm. Added sodium bisulfate to lower alkalinity around 915. I'll check it at 930/945 then go from there

I will test at 9am and provide results. I'll see where pH stands then.

It was 10 this am, that we have 10 ppm. Unfortunately I didn't test it after I added the SLAM level shock last night. We had a fireworks show last night and I wasn't around after.

Ok, last night around 6pm I added shock to meet SLAM level. My filter is running 24 hours now and has been. This morning 8am, my results are as follows. Please let me know if I should maintain the SLAM or make any changes before. Cya 40 Alkalinity 180 Ph 7.8 Fc 10 Total chlorine 10 Hardness...

Ok, I will give it a try.

I'm doing my own testing with the exception of two pool store tests for metals. I don't have my test kit name handy but I do have one that measures cc

Sorry Alkalinity 180 Copper was 0.3. I haven't gotten a new test from pool store since I put in the metal out. Attaching pictur
