I would be interested in any tips here too. I have a white plastic set if stairs. Four steps. I bought a house with a pool 3 months ago. I opened it and now need to close it. I knew from the get go that the stairs would be an issue at closing time. They take in quite a bit of water. Anybody...

Hello. Definitely will need your other test numbers. Specifically your CYA. But I am curious as to the answer to your question too about keeping FC higher then "needed".

Ok Thanks. So if this keeps going at this rate though, you think if my TA gets down to 60 I should start getting concerned maybe? Otherwise you are saying to just see if it stabilizes itself? Just concerned that Ill be dropping out of the "main stream" range I keep reading of 80 to 120 or 90 to...

So... 3 full weeks into my first pool and everything seems to be going great thanks to all the help from you folks. Just learning some final tweaks for peace of mind really. Any help would be appreciated. After week one I had these results from testing FC goes down to about 4 and I bring it up...

OSJL It is! Thanks for that as well. I just learned not to over buy. I think I have about 15 jugs of bleach left. I'm sure I could dig in the forums but how long is bleach or the 12.5% at ocean state good for? Or should I say how long is it effective at sanitizing a pool? Sent from my SCH-I605...

I hear you. This is my first house so money is tight. And it's my first pool ever as well so I don't really know what to expect. I literally opened this pool, my first pool, less than 2 weeks ago. I do agree 45 dollars to have a perfect pool is pretty sweet! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Great advice. Thanks. I see I could save a few bucks there. And I'll have to check out Bidwell! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Hey Husky. I use Great Value from Walmart. 8.25%. I found it for about 2.80 a jug. 128 oz I believe. From what I have seen I "think" that's my best value there. Any other thought on that? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

If only I could tell if the CYA was 50 or 60. I would bump to 60 if I lower just to see how it works. There is quite a bit of summer left! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

That's exactly what I'm figuring on. And it feels a little high to add that much every day. I haven't strayed because the water is or seems perfect. And actually I'm not super confident in my CYA test. I get 50 to 60 every time but hard to judge exactly when I lose sight of the dot. Sent from...

Thanks Brauh. Good to here this isn't too abnormal. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Thanks again Patrick. I followed your advice last time and my pool is ridiculously healthy. I think I may overshoot to 8 less often. Maybe I later storms and high usage only. It's just when I bump to 7 FC I'm down to 3 to 3.5 in 24 hours. Again thank you for the affirmation. Sent from my...

My last post got me up and running with my new pool. Thanks again everybody. Quick question though. Things have stabilized and I have been following the advice I got. My pool gets 10 hours if sun easily. Maybe more? I just moved in a couple weeks ago. My CYA level looks to be between 50 and 60...

Yesterday. CC with the 25ml test was .4 With the 10ml test .5 Today CC with the 10 ml test was .5? Took one drop to be completely clear. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Gotcha. But (of course another but) I just had the water added to full level at 3 pm yesterday and did my tests at 7 pm last night. But I'll see how it goes. I see what you mean about compensating. That makes sense. Now to figure out my filter time and schedule. Been running it since it was...
