ok I'll try it with the 6 gal bucket and adjust then we can see what happens. Just for reference can I add the A+ stain remover from in the swim to get rid of the present stain. I also will be headed out of town maybe as early as the first of the week, I'll be gone for six weeks. What would...

Tested again for copper and my wife says it looks about 0.5?? I really don't believe what the pool place says but I will go there tomorrow and see what number they come up with. The best I have found so far is a white pale 6 gals Regards

Went to town and so far I can't find any 10 gal white buckets, any other way we can test this? Regards W&C

I'm headed to the store just now but what I have is organic stain from algae during the start up. I presently don't think I have algae now just the stain. Regards

What can I use to suspend the cooper in the water and not cause it to add more stains to the vinyl. I guess they make some sort of liquid for doing this? Seeing that my cooper level is high should I drain some water down and refill? Regards W&C

Tex Just another quick question. I also need to get rid of the organic stain that's on the bottom of my pool. I was going to get the Jack's magic blue for vinyl liners or the A+ stain remover from in the swim. If I do this I'm not sure what they recommend my levels to be at before adding this...

I did another check on my pool this morning and this is what showed FC/CC- (1 x 0.5)? 1 heaping scoop of R-0870 to 10Ml water line Showed very light color pink and when I added 1 drop R-0871 the water turned clear, added 5 drops of R-0003 the water turned back to a very light color pink, added...

Texas, I did the CYA test according to the kit and I got nothing? it's where I have to watch the little black dot in the bottom of the small tube until it disappears, which it never did? FC was 1 x 0.5, the TC was the same reading. Should I try doing these again?

Cowboy, Do these readings seem correct? Sorry for the late reply but I had a sickness in the family so I had to take care of this. Back to the test FC- 1 X 0.5? TC - 1X 0.5? PH- 7.9 TA- 200 CH- 380 Thanks W&C

Sorry for the late reply but I had a sickness in the family so I had to take care of this. Back to the test FC - 1 X 0.5= ?? TC - 1X 0.5= ?? PH - 7.9 TA- 200 CH - 380 CYA - Tested as per K-2006 but did not get any reading Thanks W&C

TA - Total Alkalinity it took 17 drops to turn from green to red x 10 = 160 if you don't count the last drop. So I think this is telling me that the TA is to high? I'm going to retest my FC/CC to be sure it get the same reading and then I'll be checking my PH, CH and CYA. Regards

1 drop = 0.2 PPM use line 25 mL, for 1 drop = 0.5 PPM use line 10 mL so which should I use?

OK, I have done this and there is no color, it's still clear so that's telling me we have no chlorine at all? Now I'm being told that my perma salt system uses copper & silver ions to produce a Non chlorine., which to me sounds unsafe to be swimming in. Here is what there web site says and I...

According to Taylors kit FC/CC test to be checked first, I know this sounds crazy but I'm not sure which line to fill it to. If I go by the taylor kit? it says for 1 drop = 0.2 PPM use line 25 mL, for 1 drop = 0.5 PPM use line 10 mL so which should I use? It then says to use the R-0871...

Cowboy, Just received my test kit yesterday. looks like I now have enough things to test a water treatment plant lol. I'm a little nervous but at the same time excited to start learning and managing my own pool. I also want to think everyone for all the information in pool school,test kits...

Cowboy, Not yet, I'm looking forward to doing the testing myself then relying on someone that might not be correct. Any suggestions for removing the Algae stain? Regards Whitney and Connie

Matt One more thing, can I add anything just now to get rid of the Algae stain? the copper rod as far as I can tell is built in to the chamber, I can unplug it but not remove it. I'll be going back to work and I work out of the country and I need to have something easy in place that my wife...

Matt Will the TAYLOR TECHNOLOGIES INC K-2006 TEST KIT COMP CHLORINE FAS-DPD work for what I need. Regards

Matt, As I don't a a nice test kit I went with the test strips I have on hand and here is my rough findings. I'll order the other test kit today. FC-0 TC-0 ALK - 80-120 PH - 7.2-7.8 TH 250-450 Copper 0.2-0.5 Regards Whitney and Connie

Matt, Funny you said that because that's exactly what they told me to do, crank up the dial and shock it?? what will happen if I take their advise? not saying I am I will order the test kit so I can see exactly what I have now. I tested the cooper level with test strips when I wrote this a few...

Cowboy, How often do you have to replace the cells? Will I also be able to run my pump 24/7 in the winter as this is what I do now to prevent the lines from freezing. What other chemicals are usually needed when running one of these. I know it may sound funny but we had one of these back when...

Matt, I just did the test maybe not exactly perfect but I think I got good results. I put a C tab on the bottom, first in whole form and crushed in a sock. The spot appeared to turn a light purplish color?? Next I laid the trichlor tablet on the bottom for about the same amount of time and...

Matt I thought I'd have to put the trichlor tablet in a sock not the vitiam C since it's more powerful? Please confirm. Also would a salt water system give me the sanitizer I'm looking for compared to the perma salt system I'm presently using. if so what would you recommend? - - - Updated - -...

Matt, I'll give it a try and see what happens. I went with the permasalt system because they sell it as a cheap easy alternative to chlorine and I travel alot so I was trying to pick something out that would be easy for my wife to maintain and also not eat away the liner as I was lead to...

Hi All seems I have open my pool this year and once getting it balanced I seem to have a light brown stain that appeared all over the bottom of my pool a few weeks later. It's not on the side's or around my ladder or along the edges where the walls meet the bottom of the pool. I shock my pool...
