Thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to leave the filter on the pool as long as I am able, I just don't want it to freeze. Daytime temps are in the 40s to mid 50;s. I will wait until FC level drops to 10 or lower (hopefully next wk) then retest ph and adjust to about 7.4 if needed and then...

Hello, first I would like to thank everyone on here for a great website. Love all the helpful information when I need it and is easy to find the answers I need. I have an Intex 22x52 round that I am not taking down over the winter because when we put the pool up this spring I thought I was...

Wanted to give everyone an update. I love the new test kit. It is now Wednesday the 20th and here are my current readings. FC 5.5 CC 0.0 Ph 7.4 TA 100 CYA 40 I put my solar cover back on the pool last Friday evening (8/15) in an attempt to get it to warm back up from 61, it's up to 68 now...

Well I've been at it for a few days now and here are a new set of results. It's been cooler (downright cold at night) the last couple of days. It was raining Wed so I didn't test before I went to work. The water is now clear and cold about 62 degrees. FC 11.5 CC 0.0 Ph 7.5 TA 100 CYA...

TF-100 test kit arrived today. It's great. I tested the pool with the kit this evening around 8:30 this evening and these are the results I got. FC - 10.5 CC - 0.5 TC - 11.0 Did I do that right, you add the FC + CC = TC TA - 110 PH - 7.2 CH - 175 CYA - 33/40 I'll get better as I figure out how...

pool is clearing but still cloudy and I can now see the bottom. Thank you to everyone for all of your help.

Well it's 10pm and water looks even better than this afternoon. Since I am not able to get an accurate chlorine reading from my test kit (it turns orange) I did a dilution of half pool water and half tap/well water (no chlorine in tap water and what I filled with) I now have a test reading of 3...

hello after 1am chlorine addition of 128oz and 9am addition of another 128oz of liquid chlorine my water is now blue and cloudy. I was wondering that since I have no way of testing chlorine levels should I still go ahead and add another gallon of chlorine around 8pm as I had planned or should I...

Hello I stand corrected the liquid chlorine I use is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. I only use liquid chlorine except for what I use in the floater. I am using the floater with hth unsanitized tablets that are 47.8% calcium hypochlorite; that way I can increase my calcium hardness slowly. I just...

ok i just ordered the tf 100 test kit it will be here when it gets here.

I thought that testing what I could with the hth 6way (TC, PH and ALK) and using my local pool store for the other results (1 to 2 times a wk) was a good thing. I have had a pool for about 10yrs and this is the first time that I have ever had trouble with it. This is a new pool bought in feb and...

Hello, I don't see a signature line so here is all my information. I have an Intex ultra frame 22x52 (box states 10400ish gallons, figuring with math I get 11400 gallons). the pool is in full sun from sunrise until sunset. I am using the chlorine cartridge filter that came in the box it states...
