My pool is 52". I did my best to measure the depth of water, it's a little high now. It was 47 (13,000) or 48", (13,500) I've been using 13,500.

I've always figured 13,500 gallons, 48" depth. I'll measure tomorrow to make sure.

Pabeader, I took photos and uploaded to photobucket but I am trying to figure out how to resize and put on this forum.

9/14/16 (24 hour loss was 17ppm) ---------------------------------------- 9/15/16 (5.5ppm loss overnight) Pool still clear Nervous about not checking or adding chlorine for 12 day time hours. I predict my fc test result to be 7ppm tonight at 7pm.

Duraleigh, I could start that tomorrow since I have already rechecked and added chlorine before your post. 09/14/16 7:00 am 13 ppm fc (added 101 oz 10%) 19 target 6 ppm loss 1:00 pm 11.5 ppm fc (added 128 oz 10%) 19 target 7.5 ppm loss I'm losing a...

Durleigh, I didn't see your message until today. Yesterday I added chlorine 4 times. The 18 was 1 1/2 hours after I put in 128 oz of 10% which put me at 20ppm. About 5:30pm, I tested and it had fallen to 16 ppm. After dark last night I bumped my pool up to 19ppm. I rechecked at 7 am today. It...

Mr. Bruce, I have been worried about the fertilizer. I did do an ammonia test on the pool water itself. It turned yellow as I recall. I think green means ammonia. Suppose I can try that when he mows the lawn again. Thanks

I want to add the temperature of the water and nights have dropped. Maybe this will help. I still don't get why I cant get a normal cya reading. Maybe later I'll get photobucket to cooperate with me so I can upload the cya test result pic. Photobucket wasnt letting me log in on my very old...

YippeeSkippy, I was using Watson Pool Supply 10%. For the last month I've been using my local Kroger 10%, stored inside their store and inside my garage. They are out now so I guess bleach might be an option. I just took a sample of water and I am at 18ppm still and only have .5 cc. I had a...

My pool looks clear. It always has. I check at 7 am, 2pm and 8:30pm and sometimes 11 pm to add a little more if not at 19 ppm to work at night. I always do the taylor kit and input numbers in the pool calculator. I've been going for 19ppm as a target for slamming. I saw a 1.5ppm cc in June so...

duraleigh, I am using 10% liquid shock. I average (2) 128 0z a day.

I just check my cya again. I took photos but do not know how to upload them. I could still see the dot at 30 barely. I could clearly see the dot at 100. Is there an easy easy way to copy paste my photos from my phone or computer or upload. I want to show everyone what my test looks like.

I am using the CYA mixing tube and squirting the pool water and R-0013 solution into the comparator tube. Sorry to confuse you all with the wrong terminology. What you say make sense but my testing says otherwise. That is why I am posting. Two days ago the CYA test was getting cloudy a little...

In the heat of the summer, I was needing to add about an inch of water every 10 or 15 days. Thats when we had no rain. I was hoping it was evaporation. I did try to look around for leaks. I did not do the bucket test. I had a couple drip, drip leaks on the suction side by the 2nd basket...

I have not used any non chlorine shock. I am using the Taylor R0013 drops that I bought new this year. I had to kind of guess with the test since I could always see the dot until it got harder to see under the 30 mark. I fill the pool water to the 7 mark and fill the R0013 liquid to the 14...

I have been fighting this combined chlorine all summer. I have only dropped down to a 7ppm two times this year by accident because I tried to have a life besides taking care of my pool. I have been slamming between a 16ppm and currently 19ppm. I check my pool 3 to 4 times a day 7 days a week...

Re: CYA drop MarianParoo, I am new to forums and sometimes find it all confusing. Pooldv moved me to a new thread I believe. Thanks

Thanks Pooldv, I also have noticed my CYA dropping. I did not know CYA can be lost with Slamming and 90 degree water. I do not feel crazy anymore! I thought I was at 35cya at the beginning of season because test last year stated that. Then i added 2 3" pucks on 7/12/16, 3 3" pucks on...

Deb04, Thanks for the response. I am working hard on this pool thing. Good thing I'm a persistent person. Now to help my poor thirsty flowers.

My pool was reading 0 CYA and eating chlorine like crazy. On Thursday I added 20 ppm of conditioner to pool in a sock and it all dissolved in a couple hours from massaging. I also had added 3 3" tabs to the chlorine feeder a week ago and 2 3" tabs a week before that. I ordered new CYA test. It...

Thanks Griswald but I'm an Iphone person:rolleyes: But it sound awesome. - - - Updated - - - Poolnewbies5874, Information overload! That is a lot of stuff all in one place. I might be able to get used to that. I was thinking a simple excel sheet type thing but it is pretty nice. I played...

I have been keeping my daily pool test levels on 4 x 6's during slam process. It is not the best method for long term. If anyone has made a word or pdf for logging this info and want to share it would be appreciated! I usually do these things myself but too busy this summer. Multiple times...

I have been using pool calculator.com. I just never looked at cya except to insert my current level.

I'm close to a 0 right now cya. I need to bye some stabilizer and add. - - - Updated - - - Thanks, I see where I can figure out how much stabilizer to use for my pool.

So, I need to get 30 cya level in my pool and make sure I am slamming at the recommended 13 ppm per pool calculator?? I just wanted to know how much of the cya (packet), (container) granuals to add to my pool to get the 30 ppm cya level for my pool size. Thanks

Duraleigh, I was basing my slam ppm with my current 35 cya and it said to do 14ppm. I had been adding that 4 to 5 times a day initially. Then someone suggested 16 ppm since they thought perhaps my cya was actually 40 ppm cya. So, since 7/8/16 i have been slamming 16ppm with 12.5 or 10%...

Thanks Pooldv and PAGirl. Wow, bacteria ate my CYA? The leak was one drip every second off of the connector between the pump and the filter housing. I think last season I messed up that part when I forgot to turn my valve to open when I was cleaning the skimmer basket. Then I ran the pump for...

I havent done a full check of pool since 07-12-16: fc = 10 cc = 1 ph = 7.6 TA = 90 CYA =40 (checked 07/07/16 & cya was 35. I added two 3" trichlor pucks) I thought it would help with daytime chlorine consumption) (Pool store checked and said 30 cya on 07/10/16) Todays 07-19-16 7:31am 11.5...
