I'm using the K-2006-SALT. I apologize, I did mistype my free chlorine. Here are my current levels. Free Chlorine 25 Combined Chlorine .5 PH 7.6 Alkalinity 120 Hardness 300 CYA 80

Yes, CYA is 90 now that i drained a little water. The chart only went to 80. Is there that much of a jump from 80 to 90?

The chart says at 80 target is 6 and shock is 31 for SWG though

I was thinking FC 6 would be good. 30 has me worried for swimming.

I drained about 8" of water and refilled. I let it circulate overnight and tested it this afternoon. CL 30 FC .5 TA 120 PH 7.4 CH 300 CYA 90 Water temp 71 Should I keep waiting with the SWG off or use something to drop the Chlorine level. It's taking a long time to come down on it's own.

Update. I got my new Taylor test kit today. FC still tests 30ppm, PH 8, Alkalinity 120, CYA is 100, Hardness 320. Is there anything I can do to drop the FC faster? I have the pump running 24/7. 4hr@3000rpm, 7hr@1700rpm and 13hr@1400rpm. I don't plane on running it 24/7 forever. I will reprogram...

I have used this forum and the BBB method for many years in my Plainfield Illinois home with never a problem. We moved to a Florida home with and IG pool in August of 2017. The 1-1/4HP pump went out during the first year and was replaced under the home warranty. They put in a 2.2HP pump. After...

Thank you for the responses. Sorry I have been too busy unpacking to respond. My chlorine is slowly coming down, it is at 14 now. The other day I opened the main drain and closed the skimmer add put the hose in the pool. I let it run and let the auto leveler drain the pool. Hoping to dilute the...

We just moved from Ill-annoy to Florida and the house we bought has swg pool. All of our belongings were still in boxes so I took water sample to pinch-a-penny. chlorine was 0, salt was 2100, PH 7.8, cya 0, i forget what the hardness was but i added 8lbs of increaser and it brought it into...

frustratedpoolmom: I use the TF-100 for everything but PH. I think I'm going to get rid of the nature 2 this week. I for sure will not buy a replacement one for next season. I will be moving my filter away from the pool and putting it next to my house along with the used heater I bought so...

Yes, it has been cloudy and unseasonably cool here. I shocked with 1lb of HTH super shock and swim after the family and neighbors were swimming Sunday. I checked the water this morning, Tuesday, and the chlorine is at 8. Without the sun and with the solar cover on is it normal for the chlorine...

My Chlorine level is at 5ppm using the tf100 test kit. I had 2 pucks in the inline feeder but they have been gone for 5 days now. I am using the Nature2 cartridge because it came with the pool but will switch to BBB next season. PH is 7.6 T/A is 150 and CYA is 40. The water is crystal clear but...

There was something in the tip of the bottle of the R-0009. I cleaned it out and wipe the tip between drops. The drops are noticeably bigger and my reading are still high but closer to normal. I am working it down with acid and then I will aerate to bring PH back inline. Thanks for the help. Can...

I tested my tap water and for kicks my RO water. The tap water is 350 T/A and the RO is 40 T/A. Now to try the fixes recommended here.

I will check the bottles and test my tap water today. Looks like I'll have to order more R0009.
