It is a very interesting thing. You would think the higher the CYA the less chlorine you would have to put in everyday (compared to the chart). My CYA is at 50 and I had to put in 2 gallons of chlorine last night.

CYA-50 PH-7.8 FC-4.5 CC-0 TA-150 My readings as of 30 minutes ago. I think I am pretty happy with it. Just need to stay on the Chlorine every night. I do have a question though. Why does lower CYA require less chlorine and why do we not want lower if it requires less?

My TA has gone up to 150 CYA is still 40

When we bought the house last fall the chlorinator was so packed full and was clogged up. It was a mess getting it all out and flowing again. Lawd I hope we never have to drain our pool, as we don't have a drain at the bottom so we would have to get a pump to pump it out. I just got back from...

😆 Hopefully next year we will be saying the same thing.

Now I wanna go buy it today to do. FYI Amazon sells knee highs 😆 (didn't know they were still around). Might be able to talk the hubby into it then. At our old house our neighbor had a saltwater pool, but it was green 3/4 of the summer. I'm trying 😁 I still have some pucks in the chlorinator...

Thank you so much for all of your/y'alls help. I know one day I will have all of this down.

We are pretty much a 5-month season. May, June, July, August, and maybe 1/2 of September. We have talked about getting a heater, but we don't have gas out here and we are really waiting on that. Country living. Why does a SWCG only last 5-8 years? Google is going to hate me today. I will search...

I will get some this weekend and raise it some. Why a sock and not dissolve and put in the pool? Just curious.

I JUST mentioned this to my husband about 30 minutes ago. He said "yeah but what is their cost of upkeep compared to ours?" I said IDK

How do you raise you CYA levels? I guess I am at the lower end of good, so would it hurt to raise it 10? I have 1/2 a bucket of chlorine tabs left and a whole unopened bucket of shock (that I had just bought last time at the pool store). I will save/keep as a very last resort. 🤷‍♀️

Any recommendations on a cover. We had looked at the beginning of summer but just never bit it and gave up looking.

Yall are definitely hotter than we are. Our heat wave came while we were in Fla on vacation.

Didn't realize you could lose so much in a day. So, Pool math is telling me for 9 to add almost 2 gallons of 10%. I am so glad I got the kit to keep track of all the levels.

So, I did my chlorine test this morning 2x almost 2 hours apart. It pretty much dropped 4 points in the past 24 hours. It read 3.5 both times. Is that a normal daily drop?

The only place I can come up with is either A. my office or B. Our soon to be mudroom/gym. My husband is fixing to move his office out of there this weekend so I should be able to put it in there.

No, we sold our house with a basement and bought a house in the country that has a barn (no basement). We downsized so a lot less room. I will try and figure something out.

We gave up our basement in Oct. for a barn, so that is about as cool as it will get. Thank you for letting me know that. I see they also have 12.5% on Amazon. A little price gouging but I guess if your desperate enough to buy it if you can't find it anywhere else.

Ok, so now I have a total of 20 (4-12.5%, 15-10% and a gallon of bleach). 🤪 I would guess this would keep me good through pool closing and pool opening next year.

I have been slowly buying from Ace for the past 2 days. Trying not to be a chlorine hog, but yet be one. How many do y'all keep on hand? I have 10 as of now. Sometimes I question myself, didn't even think about other pool stores since I know the one I USE to go to doesn't carry liquid.

I search that isle every time I am in there and they are always out. At least next year I will know to stock up on it.

Didn't think about that. Ok I will stick to Liquid. That makes sense. So what do y'all do if you can't find chlorine?

Our HD & Lowes are al ways out of stock. We even drove 30 minutes away because they said they had some but didn't have any. Our Ace has had it, so I have been buying 4 a day plush bleach at pretty anytime I see it. I have been using the splashless, but now I will know not to. I plan on going...

Now that I fully understand how to use it, I will love it too. lol

Which says to add 137 oz of 6% bleach. Thats pretty simple. :)

An that is by raising the chlorine?

Ok, I got my test kit in today and it shows (as long as I did this right which I am pretty sure I did. CH-5 (10 drops) CC-.5 (1 drop) TAT-130 (13 drops) CYA-40 Calcium-275 (11 drops) PH 7.8

Don't know why I didn't see this. Thank you. This is why I like to ask questions. :) Just ordered it.

I have 1 question before ordering the test kit. I am just trying to make sure what I order is everything I need 1. It shows that the Taylor K2006C doesn't come with Chlorine OTO. Do/Don't I need that?
