Interesting, ill try that thank you both:)

It was 7.2 before i shocked the pool ( while fc was at 20 ppm i tested th ph and it was about 7.8) now that im letting the fc drift down it came back down 7.2. Im sorry, Im new here and dont know what you mean by turning up my return so it rolls the water??

I didi only 1 OCLT and the loss was .5 ppm. After that i have checked fc and cc levels daily, and i have lost about 2 ppm a day( not over night, i just the the tes at around 7pm everyday) today the fc was down to 10ppm so i re tested everything fc 10, cc .5 ( i did this test 3 times just to be...

OCLT results : Monday 7:45pm FC 16ppm, cc 1ppm Tuesday 7:15am FC 15.5ppm, cc 1ppm. * The pump was running on Monday when i took the first sample, but hadn't started when i took the second one on Tuesday. Also it was raining a little through out the night. Idk if either one...

Alright guys I'll do that, thanks again and I'll let you know what happens

Ok, we don't have any lights and we haven't installed the ladder since we open the pool this "spring" ( it keeps turning back to winter weather every other week here in SC) so there's is really nothing in the pool but water. Can i do the overnight loss test tonight or do i have to wait until...

Hi everyone! After 7 days of shocking my pool, testing 4 times a day, brushing after adding bleach and running the pump around the clock, the cc level is still 1ppm. Half way through the week i retested my cya and it's still 50, so ive kept my fc at 20ppm. I've been thinking that maybe the pool...

No i dont have a SWG, and i'm the only one that can add bleach(husband is working and kids are too young) i could have made the mistakes you guys mentioned when testing the water though. Ill try to be more precise with the powder and take my time with the drops. The water was really nice and...

Hey guys I need some help again. This is what i got so far and everything i have done to my pool? Why is the CC level going up and down?? And how is the FC higher now than this morning if i havent put anymore bleach in it? Im I doing the testing wrong?? And also ph was high this morning 7.8-8.0...

They are a 4 year old boy and 1 year old girl:D. I got my first pool and a newborn last year almost at the same time, not my brightest moment, lol! - - - Updated - - - I re-tested this morning, fc was 6 and cc was 1.5 so i put in 3 jugs of bleach. As soon as I get home ill test again. Thanks...

Thanks ill do that from now on

Ok so, since bringing the pool to SLAM wont hurt anything I will try it. To be honest I am a little intimidated to try doing it with the bleach for the first time��, so i was kind of trying to avoid it if necessary, But i guess i gotta bite the bullet, Ill have to do it sooner or...

Thanks for your reply, I will put in my info in the morning so i can look up the details first, but we use a sand filter. Now i have another dilemma, i read this on the abc's for water chemistry "non-chlorine shock) will show up on FAS-DPD chlorine tests as CC. There is a special reagent you...

hey guys i just opened my pool for the spring and these are the results i got to using my taylor k-2006 test kit. My pool is 18,000 gallos above ground. FC 6.6ppm CC 1.6 ppm ph 7.2 TA 50 CYA 48 So, my ph is a little low, the CC level is too high, TA & CYA are ok. I read on one of the forums...

Thanks for your replies! We tried warming up the hoses with warm water and pushing them in farther, than re-tightening the clamps and the fixed two of the leaks!! For the third we added another clamp and that fixed it!! Thank you so much!!

Hi, I'm trying to open my pool for the spring. Yesterday we reattached the hoses by simply sliding them in place and tighting the hose clamps ( using the same hose clamps and hoses from last year). We filled the pool back up and tryed to run the system but there are three leaks at three of the...
