My pool went cloudy and it was definitely my fault. I completely neglected it for a week because I was so busy and boom, opaque water. Now I am trying to bring it up to shock level of about 10ppm and I have added about 5 gallons of 12.5% liquid shock over a 3 day period and it is still reading...

Our vinyl liner was just replaced last year in April and the CYA level is off the charts already. It measured at approx 120-130ppm. How is this possible? I haven't added any stabilizer or other chemical that might raise it. Just bleach, soda ash (almost 30lbs to get pH right), clarifier and the...

I am getting ready to close my inground pool. It's been losing about 4-5 inches of water a week for the past 2-3 weeks. I just checked on it and, after filling to within an inch of the top of the skimmer, it's drawing air again. I am 99% sure it's the 12 year old vinyl liner that's leaking and...

I got my kit (quick shipping!) but I am having a little issue. I tested the TA and it measured at 260. I figured there could be know way this is true so I tested again, and again 260. I grabbed my old taylor kit and it read 130. I grabbed my old walmart kit and it measured 130. Why is the...

So here's my story: We bought a house in january a few years back and it came with a pool. We didn't even see it because the mesh cover was covered in snow at the time. But we though, oh a pool will be cool. My wife had a pool in the past but I never had. When it came time to open we called a...

I finally bought a test kit that alows me to test the cya and it appears to be very high. I got the Taylor kit, and for those familiar, you mix the pool water with a chemical and then drop in in the tube until a black dot is no longer visible. The dot disappears for me almost immediately at a...
