I am heading out for the weekend and I'm not sure how much chlorine I need to add to the pool to compensate for the two days I'm gone. And do I need to cover my pool or leave it uncovered? My levels are as follows FC 4 PH 7.5 CYA 40

my pool water is cloudy. I'm trying to figure out why? I brought my FC level up to 8 or 9 (i will test when i get home) the day before when the water was clear and now it is cloudy. I think my CYA level is about 30ppm and my ph is around 7.5. Any thoughts on why it is so cloudy?

I am new to this forum and I am very interested and like seeing the responses on other threads. There is good info here but I was just wondering why does everyone on this forum turn their heads to test strips and why are they inaccurate? I just purchased HTH 6 way test kit from Walmart but also...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the pool gig. Just put up a 14' 48" intex pool (mostly because of my 6 month old son, he love the water). With that being said I have done a little bit of research under pool school and know some of the abrviations and definitions on chemicals. I just don't know where to...
