CYA is around 70. Discovered I was using the wrong reagent. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Still need to lower pH & sweep/brush until it’s clean?

Will the CYA lower pH at all? It is acid after all. If not, I can go pick up some Muriatic acid later.

FC 10 pH 8.0 CYA 0. ( haven’t been able to get a reading for a couple months. Even when adding CYA granules in a sock. Maybe 5#?) Could my CYA reagent be bad or ineffective? I assume it’s algae coming back in. It’s not gritty and only shows up on first start of the pump, or during vacuuming...

Not sure exactly where my chemistry is at the moment, but all summer I’ve been battling algae that I believe is coming from my stairs. I think I have that resolved, but the filter has been blowing dirt that I sweep up back into the pool. Replaced the internal plumbing in the sand filter this...

I had a 26’ Intex ultra frame pool. It developed some leaks, as they do & it was not repairable. I could not find a 26’ AGP liner to put inside it, so I set out to find a new Intex liner to get my pool back up & running. I have had little to no luck finding a replacement, but have come across a...

I know I need to keep the original for support, but the question was whether or not there is a suitable fit for a 26’ pool. I can find 24 & 27 all day, but no 26.

We have developed quite a few leaks over the last two seasons and we’re to the point of replacing our liner. Just too many patches & more keep showing up. Is it possible to use a 27’ expandable liner for a steel sided AGP in my 26’ round pool without excessive folds and wrinkles or would it be...

Anyone ever seen a 26’ round pool liner? I’m thinking of doing the overlap liner idea, but not having any luck finding the size I need. I have searched all over online & I have come up empty so far. There are lots of 24’ and a couple 28’ out there but 26’ seems to be the odd man out. Could I...

I have a 26’’ round intex pool with 52”” sides. I’’m battling a few small leaks at the seam where the bottom and the sides meet. They are a slow, steady drip, but still leaves a noticeable wet area in the yard right beside the pool. What options do I have for repairing this area? I’’ve tried...

What do the TA & CH do for me / how critical are those numbers?? Pool has been looking good with pH & cya adjusted & FC kept up. How critical are those other parts??

I have not measured the depth, I'll have to double check that. 48" of water is probably more accurate. The pool math calculator is a little daunting at the moment, as there's a lot of info in it & probably some I don't necessarily need, but it looks like it kicks out the numbers I need, as long...

I have put 1.5 gallons liquid shock in it with 10% chlorine over the last couple weeks. I will get CYA in it tonight and more liquid shock to bring that up some too. Ok to put both in tonight, or do them on separate days?

So I need to bring CYA levels up to 30-60 & work on FC level from there?? Will the pool math sheet calculate how much CYA I need to add to get those levels??

I have had the pool up for a couple weeks, just filled with water from the house spigot. (that took 2 days) Just got my test kit & tried to run some numbers last night: PH 8 CYA 0 FC 0 Not sure what process to start. Water is clear, pool sides are clean & clear (not slimy). I...
