I'm a long way from California, but I'm pretty sure there is a nasty fault line running through it. Earthquakes + Nukes = Bad. ... (just ask Japan) Where I live we have a very similar problem with droughts. We where on water restrictions for years and literally no water flowed out to sea from...

I have just purchased another set of Reagent refills for my test kit from these guy's (I also live in Australia). http://www.poolvacparts.com/pool-accessories-chemical-test-kits-and-strips.html I highly recommend purchasing a decent test kit. order extra Taylor DPD Powder #R-0870 , Cyanuric...

Just an update. Pool is still looking perfect!!! Have been using the pool quite a bit because of the extreme heat we have been getting and the water balance has been fine. Only minimal FC loss with heavy use and full sun. I have been keeping the FC at 10ppm just to be sure (CYA 65). :cheers:

I couldn't find anyone unfortunately. I forgot to mention. If you order the Taylor 2006 I would recommend ordering a couple of extra reagents at the same time. Specifically I would order R-0871-C Taylor FAS-DPD Titrating Reagent (Chlorine) 60ml #R-0871-C and R-0013-C Taylor Cyanuric Acid...

This the where I get my stuff ordered from. http://www.poolvacparts.com/taylor-fas-dpd-test-kit-chlorine-service-size.html takes between 1-2 weeks to get to my door.

Fantastic!!! I have left the SWG @ %100 and running for 8 hours a day to maintain a FC level of 20 for the last 3 days and the pool is sparkling clear. Looking back at the photos I have taken since owning the house the pool has never been fully clear like it is now. I suspect I have had mustard...

Thank you Chem geek and Jblizzle. That has explained the CYA vs FC very clearly.

FC stayed at 27 all night. Have put the pump back to auto so is now running from 10am until 6pm with the SWG at 100% I have changed the timer for the vantage in fool cleaner to come on for 15min every hour bewteen 9am and 4pm. This is to make sure the water never stays stagnant during warm...

:salut: You can bet I will be.

Ok so I've almost finished Slamming the pool. I have a question regarding the Mustard Slam. I had my FC at 40.5 at 9pm and tested first thing this morning and it was at 36. This was after maintaining the the FC at 40 all day since about 8am. I dosed the pool back up to around 42 before I left...

Yes it's quite possible that I have had MA the whole time. Each time I have slammed the pool I have only done it to the regular levels. This time once I'm done slamming I'm dosing it up to MA levels for a good while, putting all the pool equipment in the pool, covering it and making sure...

Even Mustard Algae? I test the pool everyday and I can assure you FC never got below 6.5ppm I test the CYA every week and the results don't vary.

Now I'm a little confused. After running the pump over night and all day the water has cleared up again without me adding any extra chlorine. I have taken photos of the pool and filter for you to look at. I cleaned this filter yesterday. So this is the result of 1 night and 1 afternoon of...

No I think I have the 2006. just to confirm testing for FC correctly. I fill the tube to 10mm add 2 scoops of Taylor DPD powder. add reagent Taylor FAS-DPD Titrating Reagent (Chlorine) 60ml #R-0871-C untill the water is clear. count the drops and multiply by 0.5 = FC in ppm. This is the...

The kit I'm using contains the reagents you mentioned.
