Ok - so I did as directed and the pool cleared up. I added the acid as directed and rechecked my Ph and it was 7.4. Thanks for the guidance. I am currently looking at a crystal clear pool. But wait......so I check my Ph and TA this morning.....TA is 100 and PH is 8.0+ again..... why would my...

Good morning guys, I am having some trouble with my water chemistry and hope you can help. Chlorine 18x38 pool 9' deep end I opened the pool in April and got it right pretty quick but since then it has turned a bit. Water is still clear but it is not "crystal" clear. I have been doing it long...

Good morning - I am having some issues getting my pool exactly where I want it and was hoping someone here could help. I have a 18x38 chlorine pool with a 9.5 deep end. Vinyl liner. On the recommendations of the page from last year I have recently installed a Pentair Intelliflo pump as well as...

I have the hook up for a robotic cleaner but my pool store wants to charge me 1500 bucks for one (not sure which one) I have been on this site enough to know that the pool store is the absolute worst place to save money. I am guessing I can get what I need for much less and I bet that ya'll can...

I want to get a new motor that is less noisy. I have read the stuff about my making my current motor quiet but that has not helped much. And of course I turn it off when I need to so that helps a little bit but ultimately I want to replace at some point Suggestions? I have 18x38 in ground pool...

Taylor Kit - - - Updated - - - A tad cloudy twice and then the other was mustard algae...I could see it on the floor. Again - not terrible but I have had a pool long enough to know when things are starting to turn. I could usually slam in a day.5 I have a well with which I can fill my pool if...

I test every couple of days I seem to add bleach at least every other day trying to keep it between 1 and 3 ppm I normally add at least a gallon but usually a gallon.5 and sometimes as much as 3 gallons to give me some time to not have to add. 8% I would lose FC of 2-5 per day sometimes more...

I have been using the TFP method all year and I cannot say that it has not worked. My pool has been crystal clear all summer. But I do have a question: Maybe I am doing this wrong but I seem to be adding lots and lots of bleach. Not to mention I have had to slam it 3 times this summer which...

I guess my main question is.....if I have to add that much bleach per day....how is this going to be cheaper? It will run me about 6 bucks per day which will add up quickly

I added 2 gallons of bleach yesterday afternoon and tested this am: FC -1 TC -0 PH 7.4-7.6 AL 70 CYA 35 CH 80 - - - Updated - - - I guess my main question is.....if I have to add that much bleach per day....how is this going to be cheaper? It will run me about 6 bucks per day which will add up...

How often should I need to add chlorine? I find myself adding 1 to 2 gallons per day to maintain. That can't be right. ...right?! This will get expensive.

Ok.....slamming now. Overshot a little. Just checkled and FC is 15 ( was supposed to get to at least 10) ......how long should I hold it there?

I got on the computer this am and added it....wonder why it is not showing?

How many gallons of bleach do you think I will need to start with? Or use total?

Hi guys, I am in NW TN....weather is good here right now. sunny and 80's but about to get really hot....90+ Since yesterday I have put 6 gallons of bleach in my pool and still cannot get chlorine to register......what gives? And let me be more specific......I am using the 10ml sample size...

PH 7.0 TA 60 ppm Chlorine is zero as best as I can tell and I added a gallon of bleach this am Cya 45 I am stumped......

Tried the 10ml.......still no chlorine. 18x38 pool. 9.5 deep end. Will do fI'll chemical analysis this am

I had high cya and drained half or more of my water. Refilled and balanced - have yet to get my chlorine right. I have added 2 gallons of bleach the last two days and I can't even get chlorine to register. Using Taylor k-2006 Help! BTW pool is sparkly clean and balanced within pH and TA tolerances

New test with new Taylor Kit....... PH - 7.2 AL - 80ppm FC 1.0 CC 0.6 CYA - 35 I know that chlorine is low but I am putting in tabs ......I have three in now.. should I just keep adding chlorine until I get it up?

Chlorine is zero..... I am out of the chemical to test for CYA (should be here tomorrow) so I do not have that reading

Got her filled back up and just tested again: TA is 80ppm as Calcium carbonate - that is within tolerances rights? But PH is not even registering on the scale and there is no chlorine at all either Sooooo....since TA is good then I should just begin to raise PH right?

Thanks Richard320 - I plan to drain water over the next few days. So after I refill - do I just start over again testing PH and ALk?

Taylor Service Complete (high)...it uses drops K2005c What do you mean my FC is not going to cut it? Does that mean I need to add more? - - - Updated - - - Thanks Richard320! From reading on this site it appears I need to drain about 2/3 of my water. I will be replacing with well water. Once...

Hi guys, I need some help. I have had my pool for about 3 years and last year it was great. Clear water all year .....just kept up with my PH and Alk and shocked it and kept tabs in the skimmer. Well I opened it this year and started reading this site and I am freaked out by CYA!! I have a...
