Update: water test results I got my water analysis done at the pool stoor tonight. They use the bioguard system if that means anything to anyone. Here are the results. Note the water was taken from the pool this morning before adding 2 cups of soda ash since my pH appeared low according to...

Well, we live out in the country, farmland to be specific, so there may be environmental concerns surrounding draining chlorinated water into the ground. The pool is nowhere near the road. I will have to investigate this further if this is my only option. And yes, we have already spent...

Interestingly, I asked the pool store person on the phone last night about how to get that number down and she claimed Chem Out will do it (along with taking down my FC level). I also find it funny that the two times I have been there getting my water tested and have come back with high CYA...

What are your current water test numbers? Is this a clear transparent green, or a is the water murky or cloudy? I won't have exact numbers until tonight, but it is definitely a transparent green, which is why I suspect copper and not algae.

Worried about replacing the water with more potentially high mineral well-water. Will leaving it go not allow the sequestering treatments to work? As for the pH, the past several days have shown very low pH using the strips (like <7), not a surprise with all the rain we've had (and the...
