This morning my level tested like this: TA 90 pH 7.6 FC 3.5 CH 100 CYA 40 Temp 74 My question...using the TFP app to do my logs, the LSI says my pool water is corrosive. If I adjust the TA to read 110 the LSI says it's all balanced. Should I raise my TA to 110? For several days I have been...

Right in the middle of SLAMing we got slammed with a huge downpour that added a good two inches of water to the pool. Do I need to start all over or just maintain my 16 FC level?

OK, so I ordered the much discussed TF 100 w/magnetic stirrer. Wondering if anyone has tips or suggestions on using this test kit. Is there a recommended order of testing? Do I need to do all the tests that the kit comes with if I have a vinyl pool?

Hello All. I'm a new pool owner. Most current test results: Watertemp 88; FC 2.0; pH 8.2; TA 100; CH not tested as I have a cheap test kit from the dreaded pool store; CYA by SWAG is in the 40's and I base this upon the last three BioGuard results that the pool store gave me (while selling me...
