George, a couple of questions for you if i can? i am in Larnaca and was wondering where you sourced the test kit and liquid chlorine? i'm using calhypo at the moment to keep my cya down but obviously raising my calcium at the same time. you can pm me if its possible through the site. Cheers, Mike

i just put now figure in and then target and it inserted what to add underneath. remember to add your pool info on the config page.

maybe it just works incredibly quickly lol

Thanks for the reply, i've stopped using puks and have started with calhypo granules, my hardnes is quite low, so should be ok there, will add a bit more and get to that figure of 9, will keep on with my search for 5% or higher bleach, i should find out about the 12% stuff soon but they only...

yes, 3%, its a small island we can't get hold of anything worth using, i'd need to half empty my pool to get 9ppm lol

So, my CYA was at 320 due to 2 years of using puks and not having a decent test kit, and CA was at 400ish. Think it was more by luck than judgement that i didn't get an algae bloom before i did lol. A couple of weeks ago i virtually emptied the pool and filled with tap water, i had to use puks...

Mine is the same, the numbers relate to the order the tests are in, Al 1, ph2, cl3 and so on the strip for FC is DPD 1, then using the same water, reset back to zero and then read again using the DPD 3 strip which gives you combined chlorine. Make sure you zero the meter just before you do each...

Pool Exact EZ

I'm also in Cyprus, have a look on ebay.uk, they have the test kit on there, the only problem will be shipping reagents when required. The strips in my opinion are very hard to read, they're handy when thats all you have though. i bought a photometer from Panoramic pools in Protaras 120 euros...

i think its about 7 years, have stopped the pump now, theres about a foot left. (its 4'6" at deepest)

Hello guys, quick question, because of cya am emptying my pool of 80% of the water, my cover for the main drain is smashed, so am getting leaves etc into the non return valve. Now is the oportune moment to fit new but can't get to pool store until tomorrow am, (about 18 hours). Will my liner...

i live in Cyprus in the med and i've just purchased one, its a Sensafe pool exact EZ, they're an American company in South Carolina i believe, just google em. Tests, pH, TA, FC (DPD-1), CC (DPD-3), CYA, Calcium hardness. It was 120 euros, so about 140 dollars?

Thanks for the prompt reply, you've got me thinking now, a friend at works wife works for the government dairy industry, perhaps she'll know. Last time i had algae i just hammered it with the bleach and it cleared, now i know a little bit more of your ethics i can use TFP to get my perfect pool.

I got my new tester today (pool exact Z), i can source the recommended kits here in Cyprus but would struggle to get the reagents imported, so went for the photometer route. So, i did my tests and double checked these by getting my water retested at a pool store. More or less the same, give or...

ok, thanks for that, i just thought using liquid bleach (and not adding stabiliser with puks) would allow the sun to burn the stabiliser off. Will post results when my kit arrives. Mike

Right, my pool looks the best it ever has, but, i'm starting to get a little confused with my chemistry, i haven't recieved my test kit yet so still using strps / oto kits. Water temp is 65 degrees ph 7.5 Hardness 250 TA 120 TC 7 FC 5 CYA 150? when i started SLAM i'd half emptied pool and CYA...

found one on ebay 60 euro so will get it ordered

It would appear from your replies i need a decent test kit! haha, i've found the Taylor kit on ebay at a decent price so will order one this week and post my results later.

First of all sorry for the picture orientation, but you get an idea of the pool today. A week ago my pool was a lovely shade of green, i'd tried without luck to rid it of blooming algae, successful for a day or two at a time. ph was 6.8 FC couldn't get much above 0 for any length of time CYA...
