Yes, I have the Taylor k-2006 kit and did the tests myself.

Hello. I have been lurking around for a few weeks reading all I can. I think I know my answer, just don't like it and would like some opinions. My numbers tonight are: 4ppm FC 2ppm CC 8.0 PH 190 ppm TA 400 ppm CH 200+ CYA Since reading I have stopped using the pucks (obviously)...and...

I thought I posted my question earlier, but cannot find it...Anyway, this is just to help others. The 9v battery in the jandy unit died, causing the time to be wrong, programs to not run, etc....the main pump would not run. I checked voltages at the pump, found 240 v , figured the electronics...

Hello, I have a Jandy e pump, 2hp JEP2.0 made by AO smith, about 4 years old. Yesterday it decided to not come on. The relay clicks, and I am getting 240 volts ac at the motor. Checking the 3 wires coming from the speed control module to the motor itself I get nothing. I am guessing the...

excellent, I'll leave things alone and keep testing daily........

Yes, granular, and ran the filter non stop overnight

Ok, here is where I am 5 days after SLAMming...I added 16 ounces of CYA 2 days ago. My wife found one dark green spot on the sitting ledge yesterday, scrubbed that off......have not found any more....the water is CRYSTAL clear, I can see the phillips screws on the bottom drain in 6.5 feet of...

Now I need to get the CYA up a bit, its at 50 now. According to your chart with a SWG I need to be between 60 and 80. Stopping at Leslies or Wally world on the way home for that.

Yes, all 3, took about 3 days.

Just a quick update, after SLAMming for the recommended time, my wife actually came out this morning and said "Now that is a clear pool"! Job accomplished.....thanks all. Now I just need to get the SWG dialed in and maintain and all should be easy from here....

Roger on the SLAM.......added more, will monitor all day, keep her around 18.

got up this am and it dropped from 18 to 16, so dropped 2. Does that mean I need to raise it back to 18 for another day and test again tomorrow morning, or is it close enough?

dropped to 12, added another half gallon,waited half an hour, back to 18 now. this is FUN!

a light bulb just went off, it was either the beer or your info....thanks, checking numbers now, and again in the am.....thanks a bunch!

I am getting close......

Ok, quick question, when is it enough? I am around 18 still (been there for 3 hours), I will check every few hours until around 10 tonight, adding if needed to keep it up, already the green algae spots are gone, water was already clear. I have the pump on and the SWG off, after running all...

Another half gallon, FC @ 18. Now we wait and drink beer I guess........

Oh, by the way, I went to buy bleach, but while in Home Depot picking up muratic acid found the liquid shock, its 10% strength according to the label......hope that's ok. Anyone else use this?

like you I went to Leslie's.......big mistake.....I also ALMOST ordered the kit from Amazon....you should return that and get the one recommended here, it is a much better value, and you are supporting the people who help you.....I love this stuff now! These guys here probably won't care either...

love this stuff.....added 2 gallons and FC at 12......adding a half gallon more should do it......will measure again in another hour......this is a pretty good beer drinking activity....a lot better than watching paint dry.....LOL

Ok, before I dump in 6 or 7 gallons of bleach, am I correct I want to get the FC to 24 based on the chlorine_cya_chart_shock chart? SWG pool with 20,000 gallons? I will get the PH in the 7's tonight, followed tomorrow and Sunday by bleach 3 times a day, a gallon at a time? Sound about right?

Ordered the TF-100 kit Monday, it's here today (Thursday). Here are my numbers: FC = 2.5 CC = 0 TA = 90 CH = 620 CYA = 40 CH 5 PH 8.2 Water pretty clear, but green algae on sitting areas and beach entry..... I know the PH is high, will get muratic acid for that, the chlorine is high as the...

Ok, just ordered the TF-100 kit, should have it in a few days, 100% agree in supporting the community! I brought the Leslie's one back and asked for liquid chlorine, the guy looked at me like I was nuts. I got my refund and left......My pool is actually pretty clear, but I am getting green...

Is this what I need? http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-K-1515-A-F ... d+test+kit

Understood, thanks. I will get the test chemicals and get back to you after that, thanks a bunch. I estimated it at 48, it wasn't quite to the 50 line.

Ok, I will just order it. Can you tell me anything based on the test results I do have, other than getting the ph down of course. The calcium worries me, as my rocks have calcium build up and the pool is only 4 years old.

No, for spending $70 on the kit....once the pool is clear it will be all good.....going to add the acid tonight and go from there. I will see if Leslie's has the other chemicals in the morning.

Thanks, yes, that was the most expensive one they had, so its what I got. I will order the other next week, my wife already thinks I am nuts taking this on..... fc - 2 tc - 3 so that makes cc = 1 cya - 48 ph 8.0 calcium 600 ppm My TA is 100

Spent many hours reading here today, on way home bought the test kit at Leslie's that was recommended, learned a lot already. My test numbers are so out of whack I need some advice on where to start: fc - 2 tc - 3 so that makes cc = 1 cya - 48 ph 8.0 calcium 600 ppm I have a deep well for...
