I did the chlorine test 3 times with 3 different water samples. I used 10ml water added the 2 scoops of powder water turns pink. I added the drops till it was clear, at the time it took 6 drops to be clear so that was 3 ppm. I then added the 5 drops of the other solution and it got really dark...

The CYA reading was from his digital test he had done at the pool store. I redid the CYA test with my kit and to be frank it is subjective putting cloudy water into a tube until you barley see a black dot then read the line. Either way it was at 30 on the tube and the black dot was somewhat...

So my buddy has a 6000 gallon pool. Two days ago it went really cloudy and he we to a pool store and was sold hundreds of dollars in chemicals. 2 days and his pool is still a mess and they want to sell him more. I went today with my test kit to try and help him out. His PH was 7.5, CYA is 22...

Yeah initially I was going to get the E20 or the CC on Amazon but thought to check with Marina first since many people here swear by them and that there prices are really unbeatable. The prowler 920 by pentair looks like a maytronics/dolphin clone and at the price point doesn't seem too bad but...

Man...this is another decision I have spent more time on then I probably should have. Issue I am having right now is I called the Marina spa place lot of people recommend here and they really don't have any introductory level Maytronics/Dolphin models available. It pretty much the Active 30...

I appreciate all the feedback and the videos!! The more I am thinking on this I think I may just go middle of the road with the E20 or the Nautilus CC depending on the price. I know the Polaris evo 502 is a potential option too. I got a nice price from Marina on the Prowler 920, I just think...

Yeah for some reason the video link is broke and won't show or load.

Thanks for the replies. So when I did the test it was about 7:30. 1/2 hour before sunset. I also did my FC test this morning at 6:45, a little over an hour after sunrise. My FC this morning is 6ppm. So I can assume even with a little sun light last night and little over an hours worth...

So my test kit came in today got the K-2600C and magnetic stir. Here is what results I got. PH 7.5 TA 100 FC 7ppm CC .5ppm I just did this test now and I did not add any chlorine at all today. I also did my fas-dpd with 10ml not 25ml so the cc might be less than .5 because it was really hard...

I'm still on the fence of the E10 vs E20 vs E30/DX4/Quantum. Seems to be the E10 does just floors. E20 does Floors and Walls and the DX4/E30/Quantum do Floors, Wall and Waterline scrubbing and has the tangle free cord. Price point wise seems the E20 seems to be the option to go with but I'm...

Thanks! Yeah that portion of the app said 77 oz was 5ppm, also depends if my chlorine is truly 12.5 since the stock date on it was 3 weeks ago. Still it should be close enough to get me through. 2-4ppm per day that like 1 gallon of 12.5 every 2 days so roughly 4 gallon a week for me. So i'm...

Okay that makes sense, to get what 5ppm would be am I just going off the generic # based in pool math with what my current CYA test said from the pool store? So for example if say I round CYA to 40 based on test and I set FC to 0 and I want target to be 5 using 12.5% chlorine it says I should...

I just want to confirm I am interpreting things correctly. Since I won't rely on the pool store test and waiting for my kit I just want to stick to LC treatments as suggested My last CYA reading this morning was 38 so going off that for now. My FC is 5.9 and TC is 6.32. According to pool math...

I appreciate that advice. Waiting on the test kit to arrive, should be here Monday or Tuesday. I'm going to get the CYA up to 30-40 and follow the SLAM process and see if I can get things balanced.

So since I just got my pool, I was using the pool math calculator (I should have read about the SLAM process) but since my water was new from the hose, I never tested the initial water but I recall having this issue last year with my intex pool. I am waiting on my test kit to arrive, so I...
