I had a mildly (light) algae problem, so last weekend, I followed the instruction and added ~16oz Algaecide 60 Plus in the pool as the initial dosage, then I also added some liquid chlorine based on the Pool Math calculation. The water was fine in last week, and algae didn't show up. This...

Hello In the PoolMatch tool, it only shows and calculates how to raise the TA level by adding baking soda. I have a bucket of ClearView_TA (please also see the attached picture), may I know how much I need to add to raise TA from current 30 to 60 (the ideal level)? Brand: ClearView_Total...

Hello I clean my pool on every Sat by myself (brushing, skimmer, testing and adding chemical etc), and I have to be out of town in early July for two weeks (considering of the temp in San Jose, CA at that time). Let's just say that I couldn't find a good local pool guy to come to my house during...

Hello According to the Table, based on the CYA level, we should keep the pool's target FC at a certain level accordingly. What happens if the target FC level is over 10? Because I also learn that PH test is not valid if FC is in double digits. Does it mean if I need to keep my daily FC at 12...

Hello I just completed a SLAM, the water is back to clean now. When I brush the pool everyday, I find there are many small air bubbles on the vinyl under water (not foaming actually, but like the air bubbles when you put Coke in the glass, but they are much smaller). Where do they come from...

Hello During my recent water testing, I was so surprised to see CYA was over 100. I really don't know why because I stopped using Tabs months ago, and the rest 4 chemicals I have ever put into my pool so far are: 1) (powder) Granular of LeisureLiving, 99.3% of Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione...

Hello From time to time, at 1 or 2 corner slots of my pool, there was a small area of "light green" blur or stain right on the surface of the vinyl, I don't know what it is, or anything algae related. Every time I used a pool-brush to wipe it off. Everything else is fine, the water is clean...

Hello I had another 2-wheel suction drive PoolCleaner of HAYWARD in my pool, should the node (marked with a RED arrow) be floating on the surface? Or is it OK for it to sink into the water (on the bottom of the pool)? I wish the node (it is quite heavy when full of water inside) wouldn't do...

Hello I used newly arrived Tailor K2006 to test my pool today. How does it look? FC: 4.8 CC:0.2 PH:8 (I am not sensitive to color, it is close to 8 or just a little 8+) TA: 100 Calcium Hardness: 100 Cyanic Acid: Failed. I followed the instructions, but the "should-be cloudy" solution was not...

Hello, are these test toolkits good enough for my vinyl pool? BTW, is the brand name Leslie's (outside) or Taylor (inside)? Thank you! Kevin

Hello everybody, this is Kevin, a new pool owner in San Jose, CA. I just had my vinyl replaced due to aging and leaking, and filled up with my "new" pool 2 weeks ago. Currently, the pool water condition is fine, but I look forward to learning from you guys in the future. Thanks a lot! Kevin
