OK, will do! I'll post again when I have all the numbers

I'll try to go out there this weekend with my fancy kit and take tests and post results for everyone's review!

Sorry, I'm at work now and my daughter lives an hour away. I feel sorry for her; she's done all sorts of tests etc., added chemicals, floc, whatever! She's jealous of my pool, which is so clear and beautiful thanks to changing from Baquacil to chlorine! I just wondered if someone would have...

Just trying to help my daughter so I don't have all her test results, but wondered if anyone here has any experience with well water and why her pool is so cloudy (white looking). It appears her chlorine level is good and ph is stable. Can anyone direct me to prior posts or info? :cry:

Hello everyone! With all the rain we've had here in Northern Indiana, I found that my pool pillow collapsed and alot of water pushed the cover almost down to the bottom of my pool. I've lost the majority of water in the pool (will the sides collapse???) I can't use the cover pump now (tried...

Great - thanks for the reply. I will probably be closing this weekend and wanted to be sure!

Nope, nothing there about the other levels. I do know how to close, clean, etc. PH, TA and CYA, that's my question.

Hello everyone! I was using Baquacil for years and converted this year. BTW, if I can do it ANYONE can do it. I had the BEST season ever; not one speck of algae this summer. It's been wonderful. OK, I know how to shock and close the pool with Baquagoo, however, now that I've been using...

Thanks for the quick reply. I just want to be prepared. Once the CC maintains at .5 or lower, then what? Further instruction page/pages please! Sorry to bother you - I'm actually at work right now!

When I add the stabilizer in a sock, do I keep testing and keep FC at 15? I don't see much regarding CYA and what steps to follow. If there are more instructions, can you direct me to the page?

OK, tested this morning at 6:30, FC 16.5, CC .5, TC 17. Just tested now at 12:10, FC 11, CC 0. It's rainy and cloudy right now. I will add bleach and test again later. BTW, my pool has been blue and clear for several days now. I just hope I can keep it this way once the conversion is over...

I did get a good test kit that was recommended. Last night at 11:30, it tested at FC 17. This morning at 8:30, FC was 13, Added the recomended amount of bleach. Waited until 11:44, bact at 1.5. Now, I'm wondering if I should add bleach at all during the day when the sun just eats it up...

I just saw your post so went back and saw how to get the pool gallon amount. I read some other posts and I'm getting so confused. I thought I have to get it up to 15ppm thenI read someones post that said FC is at 4.5 and tht was good. HUH? I have to read more!

OK, will do. I knew the ph would be high, I just wanted to try out the kit. I feel like I wasted 61 drops of the one chemical, but I just had to see how many it would take to get clear! I've used up alot of bleach - 18 - 96oz bottles so far. But apparently others have used alot too. And as...

OK, no laughing at me but here goes. Well, I did receive my test kit, yikes, lots of stuff in there. You are going to think I am crazy, but, when it says to use a heaping "scoop" of the powder, why doesn't it have a exact measure scoop? That's a very tiny scoop, so how much should I really...
