I can seem to clear my pool this year. 10K Gal, Vinyl AG. FC=25 CC=.5 PH=7.2 TA=100 CYA=100 I have used 5lbs of powdered trichlor shock since opening about 2 weeks ago. It went from green to white in just over 24 hrs a week or two back, but I cant seem to get the white cloudiness to clear...

I've had an issue with my FC being consistently low for about 3 years. I joined here to take control and since i did, It's been better, but not perfect. I just found a fix for my specific problem and figured that i'd post it, in case it's of any help to someone else. Circumstances (dead bird...

Need some suggestions. I've had an issue with FC for about 2 years. Last year I started getting help here and things have improved dramatically for me. I had a tremendous amount of CC and organics and was able to clear that up last year. So far this year I have not seen any CC and I think...

I found this statement in the Recommended Levels FAQ: If you are using trichlor tablets for chlorine, follow the bleach recommendations but have TA around 100-120 and be sure it doesn't fall below 100. Question is, what happens if the TA is below 100?

I have a fiberglass/resin ladder in my AG pool, that appears to be discolored. I thought it was algae but it doesn't scrub off easily. Could there be algae embedded in the material that the ladder is made of? I'm planning on pressure washing the ladder after it's removed from the pool.

I just took a CH reading and noticed something unusual. After adding and mixing the R11, the water sample turned clear/red but had red "particles" floating in it as well. i would have expected the solution to be relatively clear. After adding the R12, the water sample turned clear/blue as...

Just as all of the moderators knew would happen eventually, my pool has cleared thanks to the advice I've received here. I can't thank you all enough. I can see underwater from end to end with perfect clarity. :-D :-D :-D Same story as many other posts. CC too high, can't keep FC at a...

I've read through the old messages and want to confirm something for the bucket test. I fill the 5 gallon bkt with pool water and add 1oz of 6%. Wait an hour and test. Trying to get the FC to hit 15PPM and hold for how long? After I figure how many oz I have added to hit this point, what's...

Ok here we go. I ran the initial tests twice to make sure I got relatively close numbers. FC=1.5 CC=4.5 TC=6.0 PH=7.8 T/A=350 CH=220 CYA=25 Temp=89 Pool seems generally clear, but slight greenish tint, especially from under water. Trouble all last year was that I couldn't seem to keep the FC...

Whats the difference between Leslie's FAS-DPD and DPD test kits. The descriptions are identical. Or between the Taylor K2005 and K-2006?

I am officially taking matters of my pool into my own hands and will be relying on info from this website. (insert cheers here) I have had it with the advice from pool store "professionals" in my area. I can't go through another season of conflicting opinions and drastically different test...
