Butterfly, Tonight's readings, FC=6 CC=0 PH=7.6 TA=80 CH=200 CYA=30 I decided not bring the pool up to shock level tonight until I preform the OCLT. I don't want to waste any bleach if I don't have to. I will update you first thing tomorrow morning with the new test readings and I...

Spotless after vacuuming!

Hello Everyone, This is my 2nd season using the (TAYLOR 2006) testing kit and the (BBB) method. I have had nothing but success ever since thanks to everyone here. The reason why I am here today is within the last few weeks we have had countless rain storms in our area and I discovered what...

Thanks everyone! I'll be sure to let him read this post and thanks for the info on the CYA range.

A friend of mine recently switched his inground pool over to (Salt Water) at the end of last season. The pool is a 19,500 gallon Sand filter/Salt set up. He has not purchased the (FAS-DPD) test kit as of yet and has to rely on his pool store for the water analysis. I would help but, I live too...

Thank You for the heads up!!!

As the end of the season approaches for some of us, we will start running low on reagents in our water test kits. That just happened to me with the TAYLOR K-2006 (FAS-DPD) kit I purchased on line from the Leslie's website earlier this year. I made a list of all the items I needed to restock my...

My sheltie and I were recently caught sleeping in the pool by my wife. She decided to sneak into the backyard and take a quick shot of us just in case we tried to deny it ever happened. :cheers:

Richard, FC = 4 PH = 7.6 TA = 100 CH = 200 CYA = 40 I usually go through about a half gallon of 6% bleach every night after testing the water. The FC is usually around 3.5-4.0 ppm and everything else is dead on and never changes. I brush and vacuum the pool once a week and that's...

BBailey, As you can see in the background we had a white vinyl fence installed and had a few extra fence post left. Why not have everything match? I left an extra spot open under the timer for a low voltage light transformer. My next project will be to add lights around the pool and...
