Nah...we will use it for swimming. I'm just doing startup is why there is no CYA. I wanted an expert opinion on what level to shoot for.

What will eat up the FC if the cover is in place?

Sorry guys I was using the test instructions off the site; but pulled the wrong kit instructions so my multiplier for Akilinity was off. TA is 120 I tested FC and CC so adding those gives 3.0; but what is the value I put down was from the Daily test of K-1000; my mistake TC is 3.0 I'm reading...

The cover is on it 20-23 hours a day. I'm using the TF-100; which value should i repeat?

I have the TF100 kit. In reading the slamming rules it says I need a test that doesn't seem to be in the kit. What is the FAS-DPD chlorine test and when can I retest the CYA? I tested it yesterday with it reading 20 or less.But it says not to expect the CYA level to come up for 48 hours...

Dear Duraleigh, My friend put in the heating/ac heat pump and I can hear him now say "if it wasn't gonna work why would I put it in?" I don't know if he could explain any differences between the heat pump for the pool which resides outside and the heat pump for the house which is in the attic...

I've called a few stores and they say heat pumps don't work here. I have a heat pump for my home heat/ac so I'm confused with that answer. I know that heat pumps use outside air so I would not have the pump on at all in those months that our lowest temperature is 45 degrees. But I would like to...
