I think I may have made a mistake on the CC value. It took 2 drops to make the color change correctly. 2 drops X 0.5 = 1. So I guess my CC value is 1. When I fill the pool with water, I use the municipal water through a garden hose. I have not checked that source for pH or TA, but then...

I have been using 12.5% pool shock only....no other chemicals. You had recommended earlier in this thread that I begin "cholorine maintenance" by adding small amount of chlorine to the pool every day, rather than adding 3-4 gallons each week or so. I have been adding a gallon or two to the...

Okay everyone.....I finally got my TF-100 test kit. My brown stains are still there. I have confirmed that they are of the organice type, because the "puck test" wiped it out in the area where the puck was sitting for approximately 20 minutes or so. Here are the numbers after testing...

Yep.....the issue is that when you use an enormous amount of water, they raise the sewer side of the bill exponentially as well in efforts to provide better service to the paying customer. :grrrr: Then guess what goes up too......TAXES. It all adds up to a painful experience. I even called...

My water bill (sewer, water, fees, taxes, more taxes, unnecessary taxes, etc.) is almost $200/month and I'm NOT filling up my pool. The last time I had to fill it the cheapest way for me was to have the pool company do it from the fire hydrant next to my neighbors house. That cost me $650 and...

Thanks for the quick reply Richard. I can be patient and introduce smaller amounts of chlorine each day while keeping the levels up as you state. I am in the process of getting a good testing kit, you got me there! :oops: I know that I need one, I just haven't gotten it yet. No excuses...

I have a vinly liner pool, 30,000 gallons. My shallow end has developed a ton of light to dark brown stains that do not rub off. I tried the Vitamin C test with no luck. I then tried the trichlor puck test, left it on the bottom in a sock for about 15 minutes, and it cleared the stain up...
