Day 4

Follow up, asked the wife to help with tests, she did a side by side comparison speed stir vs manual and guess what? She got the same results each time, so turns out it was operator error(or as i put it, don't over think it). Will post pictures later, apparently my camera can not take small...

Thanks based on your response I tested again and my FC 3.5 and CC 11.

Ok i have read a bunch of threads on fas-dpd testing but it seems with the taylor speed stir my readings on the same sample are different. I have read that a drop of 871 a second until clear, but what is clear, as soon as it goes clear i stop adding 871 and it turns pink. Right now i am...

Hello all, Need advice on whether to drain or fight with chemicals. We bought our house a year ago in a short sale. The pool was a pond, and the owner at the time said he had never seen it that green. He went to the pool store and they said to put two boxes of green to blue in. The sale...
