Today: sunday 11/13 FC 5 CC: .5 Ph 7.6 Water is blue but cloudy. I ordered another SWG RC 35/22 to see if that helps. it had 41000 hrs on it. Also raised CH around 50ppm and ordered a huge bottle of CYA.

Tested today. Had some very minor algae, but 95% of pool blue. FC: 1 CC: 1 TC: 2 PH: 7.2 TA: 70 CH: 120 CYA: n/a salt: 3700 orderd a new salt cell, mine wouldn't go above 1V, which isnt right. 15-20V on regular

I shot from the hip, but I will do a formal test tomorrow. I cleaned the filter than put 4 gallons of bleach in the pool and I woke up the next day and it was blue and cloudy. I was shocked and happy to see the results, especially since it was dark green. I brushed the pool this morning...

I wasn't able to test the water for a month and we had a bunch of swim parties. Now I work 6 days a week and the pool turned green. My local pool guy was like. " I brushed your pool and put 1 gallon of chlorine and a bag of salt into your pool, that should fix it" Yeah right buddy! it...

yes, I am using the 10ML test. Another Update: 1:30am poured in around midnight almost 1.5 hrs later I did the FC test and it barely turned pink now. 1. 5hrs ago it was screaming red 1. Maybe I tested in a high chlorine area the first time? or 2. clear pool on the verge of algae? the...

I ran boost today. 13 hours remaining 15V @ 5.4A

I don't think you can backwash a cartridge filter. Here is what i quickly googled. This is how I clean my cartridge at least. There is no backwash valve on a cartridge filter because today's pool filter cartridges aren't built for backwards flow. Instead, the pump is shut off, air bleeder...

correct, I have both kits you stated. taylor 2005 complete high test kit link below. This time around I used Clorox shock product, but normally I am using bleach...

OK... the pool water is too high in my pool, so the skimmer door isn't functioning correctly. How do I lower the water? Do I need an external water pump, or can I just drain with one of the many levers I have? The main pool has one skimmer and two smaller floor drains The spa has two of the...

hey everyone. Believe it or not around 90 degrees and no rain at all. Hermine went underneath us and hooked up into North Florida. Poseidon spared us this time. Tomorrow is the pool party. Im going to test tonight and make any final adjustments Im running my pump all night and put BOOST...

OK, I put the Clorox pool shock in yesterday and ran the pump for around 5 hours I believe. The pool looked great. Today, the PH is at 7.0 and the FC test barely turned the solution pink. It only took one drop to revert back. What gives??? I did notice the water is high and its tough for...

Here are the pool store results. why does it keep rotating my pic when i Upload? I will be testing everything tomorrow. My pool looks great right now, but I had some algae last week, which started this chemical manhunt.

thanks for the input everyone. lets address everyones questions and concerns. My steps: 1) I fill the water to the 10ml line. 2) I put a heaping amount of powder on spoon (2x-3x) the size of spoon. My solution this morning turned really red. ( I think a bright dark red, but I did leave a...

So... I bought the taylor kit and was chasing FC. It never appeared I had any, so I ended up buying the TFT FC test and it showed an FC of 6. I immediately went to my local Pool supplies store who entered some data and used a machine and my numbers were way off compared to theirs, why? Am I...

thats another great looking nozzle. I use the Pleatco now as well. It was cheaper and the quality is great.

no error messages are present. the purifier was 10% lower than normal, and the unit was not in boost mode.

What does 0 volts mean? Its not producing chlorine? It was 17.9 volts two days ago. I suspect my FC is really high since i get a washout on the Taylor test. It only goes up to 10ppm, and it keeps showing 0 FC. I ordered the TFPC version, so I will know more when I get it.

thats a slick nozzle. I just replaced my cartridge this year, and I already cleaned it twice. I will monitor how gentle I do it.

thanks everyone! I appreciate the Floridian kind words and guidance. I will continue to monitor and test everyday until the weekend. I have most of the specs inline with TFPC.

sorry to hear that man. Hopefully, you can get this resolved quickly.

My numbers have been jumping around because I put a ton of bleach into my pool trying to raise the FC. PH was a 7.0 and eyes were burning, so I put Borax in and my PH is normal again. I did not receive the new kit yet, but here are my new numbers. FC: 0 this was a actually a 1. I used...

its rained over the last few days, so I didnt do the boost test. I checked it today and my salt was down 100ppm, but check this new reading out.. What does this mean? Should I proceed with the boost test? CELL: 0V 5.0A

Hey Guys, over the last several days I have been trying to raise my FC and PH. The problem I am having is the constant rain in the Florida Keys. There is a tropical storm south of us, but we are being crushed with rain. Should I hold off on adding chemicals and trying to get my numbers...

Great feedback everyone, Thank you. The pump is 5 years old so I assume it's pushing its limit some. The previous owner told me to run it 10 hrs a day. I will replace the motor with a two speed when needed.

Hey guys, new pool owner. I noticed many people have pools way bigger than mine, but have a smaller pump. Is my 2HP single speed overkill for my pool?

thanks for the personal input. I am very excited. Luckily, I do not have any large seed pods.

I have trees and flowers next to my pool, so I have to clean daily, literally. I just ordered the Poolvergnuegen 2 wheel drive version, and the Skim-A-Round floating skimmer with the attachment to hook up to my Poolvergnuegen. I also purchased the leaf canister, so I think I should be in a...
