Woke up to this today. Haven't tested yet, but I think we're on the right track!:party:

Yes! Slow fill overnight..CYA down to 70(probably inaccurate with no circulation yet) PH 7.5. Me thinks we're headed in the right direction!:lovetfp:

I'm glad you guys do ask questions. Sometimes I think I'm overthinking this process, which really is quite simple. And then I start thinking I'm an idiot for asking the same question 5 different ways. I'll get it, with all your guys help. Thanks!

I might be confused on this one..I started the fill and CYA just tested actual 100 ppm with about half full. Will that CYA drop a lot more with fill water?

70% drained. I need to dump more correct?

OK, I see it now.. qt of pool water and qt of tap water mixed, now coming up with 60. Multiply that twice is what the actual CYA is?

Thank you sir for help!:salut:

70 is what I'm getting without x2

Dumped about 70%. mixed half pool water and half tap water. Got a CYA of 70. Question is, should we dump more?

Great idea! Thanks! That's why I'm here. Looks like Mother Nature's working with me this weekend in Phoenix. High of 77 will ease my mind on the water dump, before possible 100's next week.

Dumping water this weekend...not knowing my actual CYA (over 100), do you think I could get by with 50% drain? Or should we just keep going and get rid of it all?

Now what? Just got my test kit. CYA well over 100. PH is low 6.8 range. That's as far as I went, knowing I've got to raise the PH. Last thing I want to do is the dreaded drain and refill. What now? Thanks all...:grrrr:

Re: Yes!!! Test kit be here tomorrow! Ha! She's was mad because she scanned 20 jugs individually, and tore off coupon on each jug one at a time...I prolly would've scanned 1 jugx20, 1 couponx20 and be happy...thinking this dude's gonna make his pool SHINE!

Yes!!! Test kit be here tomorrow! 10 gal Clorox waiting and ready for the green monster! That's just what I'll pour after my first beer....another 10 gal on the stand by, in case I need to drink another beer! Oh, and Wal Mart cashier got irritated after unfolding all those .50 per jug coupons...

Puck o.d. Just became a member and spent a lot of time last couple of days navigating through this site. Best knowledge on the internet! Thanks to all of you! Waiting on my tf 100 test kit so I can get started on this "mess" I created in my backyard. I say that because I may have O.D. my pool...

I hope drain and refill is not in order. I've always been told that's not recommended in the AZ heat, which is just around the corner. Myth? I don't know. I've always done it in the cooler winter months with no issues. Thanks:study:

TF 100 test kit. ETA May 8. Will try to slow it down a bit. Thanks

:confused::brickwall:Glad I found TFP. Although the 2 pool stores tried to help me, it didn't work. Ordered my Taylor test kit, be here in a few days. Gonna tackle this myself and with the help of you fine folks! First time in my 20 years I lost my pool. It's always been pucks in a floater and...
