You were right, I added clorine after sunset checked numbers 3 hours later then at 6am the (FC) was the same. So i have the stabilizer, says to add it to skimmer, but I've read some posts that said put it in a sock in front of return hose, its a granular form, what do you think would be best?

Well I just went to to find an affordable drop test kit. All they had in stock was a 2-way for PH and Chlorine. I got it for now, because PH is one of the hardest to judge with the strips. They do have a 6-way test but its out of stock so I'll get one as soon as it comes in. I did...

I'm goint to try your suggestion tonight , I agree thay the (CYA) may be a big factor also. Yesterday At 2pm (very sunny) I added 182oz of 6% bleach. (FC) went up to to about 7ppms within 45 minutes, then dropped down to 1ppm by 4pm. So at 4:30 I added another 182oz of bleach , (FC) got up...

At 4pm (FC) is back down to 1ppm, should I add another 182oz of bleach now or wait till its dark?, and should I add it to the skimmer or in front of return? Will stabilizer help or just complicate things even more ? , There is a drop test at hardware store but it only checks for 3 things, im...

I added 182oz (6%) bleach at 2pm , tested at 2:30 which I know is probably too soon but curiousity & impatience got the best of me.. Here are the results......... (TH) 100 (FC) 5 (PH) 7.8 (TA) 100 (CYA) 20-30 , the reason im giving this answer is because the results start with 0, then 30-50...

ok so water look great, surface feels clean, water smells clean , but, (FC) is at 0, :cry: and has been decreasing since Saturday. It was at shock level for 6 days,so I thought maybe strips were bleaching out. So I havent added anything since yesterday although I did scrub and vacuum...

The cloudiness has cleared although the water looks a little greener, I've gotten tons of rain for 3 days, and just had a small shower for about 45 minutes, on top of that my (FC) has been dropping rapidly since yesterday, the combo probably invited some algae.. The pool shock (49%) didn't...

What is CH? Its not on my Test strips, although Im not surprised about that. Water is clearing up already but no increase in FC?, here are my numbers from noontime (TH) 100, (FC) 2, (PH) 7.8, (TA) 150, (CYA) 10-20 So my (TA) has always been 100 before today, and the...

Excuse the dumb question :oops: Will you tell me what "Switching To VF" refers to, what's VF? I have concerns about the increase in my utility usage also Im "a newbie" experiencing cloudy water too, after adding "Calcium Hypoclorite"(powdered Shock) this morning. Water was...

Water was really clearing up, could see bottom this am, but FC was extremely low, went to hardware store to look forstronger bleach, none, so I ended up buying Super Shock & Swim, label said Minimum availableClorine was 49%, so I scrubbed sides and added 1lb.(its powder form). Almost instantly...

How do you determine how much stabilizer to use? and will it help keep my FC level steady? do you go by how many gallons your pool holds or by test results? Im getting desperate.. :grrrr:

(FC) is dropping rapidly.. Yesterday at 6am (FC-5) so I added 182oz (6%) bleach at 11am. By noontime FC was 10+. Then it rained from like 2-7pm. At 7pm FC -10. Today at 6am FC was 8.0. So I added 960z. of (6%)bleach at Pool Calculators Instruction...

Thanx!!

And about adding the bleach before ar after vacuuming??

Thats weird I had tadpoles when my pool was like a swamp but once I started to shock they started to die, except the 2 my daughter rescued, lol, they were gone within 3 days, and my water was cold. Maybe you could bring it (PH LEVEL) up a notch? But I'm a newbie so wait for qualified advice...
