Specifically Poolmate Metal Out with etidronic acid

Does adding (and maintaining) Metal Out impact the chlorine levels ?

Would you be able to help me understand if my "solid" chlorine has the other stuff in it? I use CHLOR BRITE which says 99% "sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate" and 1% other. So does that mean it also has the other non-chlorine stuff?

I added 2 gallons of liquid chlorine yesterday afternoon ... took a measurement this morning and got a FC reading of 2. So that's a good sign ... right? Can I add use chlorine granules? ... I don't have anymore liquid chlorine.

Still no chlorine registering. What am I doing wrong? Pool water is crystal clear. But registering no chlorine. FC: 0 CC: 0 PH: 7.4 TA: 80 CH: 130 CYA: 30 SALT: 2800 71°

FC: .2 CC: .4 PH: <7.0 TA: 50 CH: 130 CYA: <10 SALT: 2200 68°

I recently opened my pool. I have little to no FC/CC despite adding both liquid and granular shock . My PH is below 6.8 and my CYA is reading little to none. Which should raise first? PH or CYA? Or does it even matter? Or is there a different approach I should take. Water is clear and...

which do you adjust first, PH or TA? or does it even matter? My PH reads below 7.0 and my TA reads 30

I opened my pool a few days ago. Water is a little bit cloudy. Here are the numbers from my Taylor FAS-DPD K-2006 testing: FC = 14 CC = 0 CYA = 100+ PH = 7.2 TA = 40 CH = 80 Pump pressure = 11 psi Salt = 2800 Temp = 65 I have a couple questions that I need help with ... (1) When I measure...

Thanks so much for this info ... I will try raising my CH. this weekend.

Colchester, Connecticut So does this mean I should add something (?) to increase the PH ?

My PH went from 7.2 to 7.0 in about a three week period of time ... we had a lot of rain during that time and I probably drained about 3" of water off the pool. I haven't had to fill my pool in years ... I rely totally on rain water. I drain down about a foot of water each Fall when I close...

I thought the same thing so I bought new reagent ... unfortunately it tested the same :( And, no, I have not added anything to the water.

I am using the FAS-DPD K-2006 kit.

I am using a SWG.
