I have tested with the k2006 kit. We only use our hot tub about once a week. I have a floater that I keep on a level of 2. When I go to test to see if I need to shock it is always above 10. It rarely drops . Should I do a weekly shock even if the bromine test shows it is above 10? My numbers...

I just found out that water faucet I am using to fill my spa actually goes through my water softener first . I have 3 outside water faucets and the plumber told me only one is not connected to the water softener . What impact does this softened water have on my hot tub water since it has salt in...

I want to use the Bleach method in my pool but have to get the CYA level to 30 first. So I wanted to know if I could put a 3" Trichlor Tablet in my skimmer basket for one day and test and then add again until I get to 30. My TA is 110 and my PH is above 8.

Is it ok to drain the pool by putting a water pump in the skimmer after a heavy rain to lower the water level in the closed pool? I don't see why this would be any different than uncovering a corner and draining. We have the skimmer Gizmo and when they closed the pool they took the water level...

Is it normal for my water from my outside faucet to not have hardly any CH in it? I tested it as I was filling up my spa with my Taylor K-2006 and the CH is only about 10. Is this normal. I live in Southern Indiana and like the rest of the country we have had a lot of rain lately so could that...

Can someone help me determine how to remove a white film from my blue fiberglass steps. My pool water got low and the water evaporated from the top step today. When I got home there was a white film (or stain) or maybe even fading of my top step. I tried to clean it with a Mr. Clean Eraser, Bar...

I have had to drain my pool due to all the rain. My cya us down to 40. Would I be able to use some pucks in my skimmer to get it back up or do I need to buy the stabilizer and put in a sock?

Our safety rope hook that is on the safety rope broke and we want to replace the hook but are unsure of what type of metal to use since we have a SWG. Will stainless steel work?

My numbers are: FC = 22 CC = 0 PH = 8.0 TA = 120 SWG = 3200 CYA = 60 My PH has gone up in the last few days. Most likely due to us using the pool more. My TA has gone up to. But my FC went up from 15 to 22. I shocked my pool a few weeks ago and have been running the SWG at about 60%. I...

It is very windy today and so it is hard for the skimmers to catch everything. There is a lot of white stuff floating on the one end of the pool. Is this most likely pollen?

I have a SWG system. Can I trust the reading on it for my salt level or do I have to have a special test kit for salt? I have the Taylor K-2006 but it doesn't test salt. Please advise.

ok, so I am very frustrated and looking to this forum to help me based on all I have read in other posts. We opened up our pool about 3 weeks ago and it was clear just dirt on the bottom. But once we added shock and salt it turned cloudy. It became a pretty blue but has been that way for almost...
