Thank you. It is my first time with a pool and a hurricane getting close to my area. Any tips will be appreciate. I know that definitely it is going to overflow. If there is no power I wont be able to drain some water. I know the pool screen will be gone. :( Just "let it be" and deal with the...

Hello everyone and Happy Fourth of July! I, by mistake, added to the pool water about 1 or 2 oz, maybe 3? :( of reagent R-0013. Do I need to worry about it or it is not a big issue since the amount was just a little? Is it safe to use the pool? My pool is 15k gallons. Thank you in advance...

Hello. I noticed that when I start the pump and the valve for the main drain is open and the one for the vacuum is close no air bubble get out at all when the pump start. But, if I close the main drain and open the vacuum, leaving only the skimmer and the vacuum on, some air get out from one of...

Good afternoon: I was planning today to add some granular CYA to raise my CYA level from 45-50 to 60-70. I did some test before. Here are my numbers. Chlorine 11 CC 0 PH 7.8 (not accurate because of the chlorine level.) TA...

Hello! My current CYA is 45 and I want to get it to 60 because I live in Orlando, FL. I will use granular CYA with a pool sock. I read somewhere that if I don't want to put it inside the skimmer I can just add it to a floater? Or, can I add one tablet of chlorine to the floater and don't...

Good evening everyone! I already asked a question about the compatibility of the reagents for both kits. The question was answer. Than you. :) Now, I have another question. Can I use the reagent R-0013 (CYA) that came with the TF-100 with the small plastic bottle that came with the Taylor...

Hello. I was running out of some reagents for the Taylor K-2006. I decided that instead of ordering reagents for the Taylor kit I will order the TF-100. I did it. Some things are not the same but that is not the question. The question is about both kits having the same reagents numbers. Can I...

This evening I will take a reading at sunset with my kit. Tomorrow will take another one at sunrise. I have a variable speed pump. Should I leave the pump all night running at full power or 50 or 60% of the power will suffice? The reason I ask is not because I am worry about the power bill...

I was visiting the pool store for suggestions and to buy supplies. The result, last September my CYA was 120+ and I started developing algae problems. I discovered this forum and learned what I was doing wrong. Oh, well, live and learn. Thank you for the people here who helped me. I have an...

Hello. I live in Central Florida. The heat is on now. Everyday I am adding an average of 3 to 6 cups of liquid chlorine (from the pool store) depending if the day before was sunny all day or cloudy. I am trying to kept my FC close to what my CYA tell me using the table here. The current...

Hello everyone! Currently I own the Taylor K 2006 c and starting to run out of some (not all) reagents. I am reading here and there and notice that the one that is most recommended is the TF 100. I am thinking about switching to the TF 100 xl. Do you think it is worth it? Or it is really...

Hello to all! I am having a hard time balancing my numbers. My numbers: FC 6.5 CC 0 PH 8 TA 80 CH 240 CYA 80 Temp 83 My target FC should be 9 because of my CYA. The problem I...

Hello all! My pool CYA level last year was close to 120. Now it is close to 80. I am happy because my pool for a week or so is very clear. The secret? Maybe because I am trying very hard to balance the water or because I decided to run the variable pump longer. And of course, all the...

I am having problem with my CYA for a while now. First, my numbers: (As of 11 AM today) FC = 1.6* CC = 0.0 TA = 100 CH = 250 PH = 7.6 CYA = +90* My test kit is Taylor R-2006c and the pool is plastered. From Orlando, FL I saw a table somewhere in the forum with the recommended FC...
