I went to a different pool store this last time and bought a different brand hoping for some type of result.... It is called... Pool Season and it says it is 100% cyanuric acid. With this brand I can see a lot of white film floating on top of the pool. Jamie

I am still having a heck of a time with my CYA. I added 6lbs on May 29th. Tested a week later and still no reading. My water was beautiful but no CYA. I waited another week and added another 5 lbs.... Still nothing. I added another 6lbs last night (sock method) and today the water is...

Thank you Jason!!!

I am just going to add all solid. Should I add 6lbs still or should I reduce it some because of the liquid I added on Friday? I am still not getting a CYA reading. Thanks!!

First, Thanks for the help! I have been shocking now for 3 days. I still can't get my FC to hold overnight. The pool is clear and I keep brushing. I went to the pool store and told the girl I needed 6lbs of stabilizer. I asked if they had liquid and she said yes. She told me 96oz of liquid...

Ok I will take all of your advice and not add the Dichlor... I will stick with bleach and shock all day. I am not sure about how much stabilizer to add to increase the CYA.... My little black dot never goes away so I know that the CYA is under 20. Also, what number should I enter to shock at...

FC 0 CC .5 ALK 125 PH 7.0 CYA under 20 My pool was perfect until the rain came and working to many hours. I am working on my PH now. I have never used Dichlor before and read that it will also raise my CYA so I thought I would give it a shot. The charts are calling for 94 oz. My Question is...

Where do I purchase polyquat 60. I have searched around and none of the home stores or discount stores seem to have it. I did call a pool store and they said they had the exact same thing but was a different brand name.

Just ignore my last post. I was running out the door and wanted to type it real fast and typed the wrong thing. I finally got the CYA down from when I first opened the pool a few weeks ago. Believe it or not I did have to raise it... which I will not check for a few more days. My kids have...

I am having trouble with a CYA. The black dot just doesn't disappear. I am adding muriatic acid according to the chart. My question is... how long after adding the muriatic acid (liquid) do I need to wait until I check my levels again? Also, since I am adding liquid form how long do I have...

Finally.... and thank you mom for replying!! I will take care of the CH tomorrow.

Test results: FC 11.5 CC .5 PH 7.4 Alk 120 CH 130 I know that I am close. The pool looks great!! Should I continue to shock to lower the CC or is it ok as is? I have a fiberglass pool so I know I have to do something about the CH and I need to raise the PH. Should I continue with the shock...

Yeah well I hope so because if not I'm going to have to fly you up here to get things straightened out for me.... ha ha

Thanks Paul!!! And by the way........ your water testing instructions were a big help!!!!

There you are Paul!! That is what I thought about the FC and why I was so confused this morning. I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes after adding the last dose of bleach to do the test. I tested twice last night and 3 times this am with the same results. I just don't get it. What do you suggest...

Re: Looking for some help on an older post That is what I thought about the FC. Nothing else is adding chlorine and I did the test twice last night and three times this morning with the same results. That is why I am concerned. Thanks!

I am beginning to think that it is me that is doing something wrong. I haven't added any water but my cya has fluctuated. Also, I did shock it again tonight. I run my filter constantly, we never turn it off. I have my aqua bot turbo running most of the day. I have been sweeping the pool...

That is exactly what I was doing yesterday Paul. I just got home and ran another test. FC 13.5 CC .5 CYA 50 Keep shocking? My kids told me that if they can't swim soon that they are moving out and finding a family with a swimable pool! I should do that over night test again and keep...

That is exactly what I thought... Thanks so much for responding!!

I thought I would have this all figured out by this morning but not sure what is happening here. I continued shocking yesterday and did the over night test again. Here are the results: Last night FC 22.5 CC 1 CYA 50 This morning FC 25 CC 1 CYA 57 I redid the test 3 times this morning to...

I have a heater and a solar cover for my pool. A friend was telling me that they got some little ball that they put in their skimmer and it lasts for a month and acts as a solar cover for the pool. I can't imagine this working but she said when they night swim and jump in the pool the area...

Back again for any help or suggestions: FC 16 CC .5 CYA 40 ALK 150 PH 7.2 My FC is 16 and my shock level is 16 so therefor it is telling me to stop shocking. I am still showing .5 in CC. Not sure what to do or what my next step should be? I just can't seem to get rid of that CC. Any help...

I think I am about ready to have a chlorine nervous breakdown. I have been testing and shocking all day. I have been testing everyone couple of hours. My combined chlorine has been 1.5 all day. My FC jumped in the last couple of hours to 11. CYA is 35. I have checked this 3 times in the...

Back with another question or two..... I am checking and shocking every couple of hours. I am determined to get my levels straightened out. Should I be backwashing at all yet? Also, since I have been shocking there is white stuff floating on the top of the pool. I am assuming that it is...

New test results for this morning: FC 1.5 CC 3.5 ALK 110 PH 7.2 CYA 45 Shock again? Don't worry about PH or ALK yet?
