Thank you TFP Team! It's great to have SoCal members that deal with the high CH in the water here. I like the idea about catching the El Nino rain water and will work on a plan for that. Still learning how to use the various tests in the TF-100 kit. But I feel empowered and the wife is happy...

Hi TFP Friends, Today my test results are CL 3, PH 7.6, FC .35, CC .15, TA 80, CH 825, CYA 40, CSI .36. I am still finishing up the Slam process. Pool Math says I will need to replace 68% of the water to reduce the CH. Also add bleach, acid and baking soda. Q's: Do I wait till after the slam to...

I did the test myself today with the TF-100 XL kit I purchased through TFP. CYA came down during the last week to around 30 on this test. I added muriatic acid and will test again tomorrow. It's nice to see things clearing up.Thanks!:cool:

Thanks everyone! I agree with your approach, especially after more reading in the forum. Pucks out, chlorine beach in. Hoping to avoid a big water change. Question: Your opinion on water treatment trucks with reverse osmosis gear to conserve water changes if needed?

On 8/3/15, I went down to a small pool supply store with water for testing. The numbers so far are 0 FC, 7.8 PH, 90 TA, TDS 1500, Conditioner 50. He then insisted I buy a puck dispenser and put 6 pucks in for the pool, a few more pucks in the spillway trench dispenser, and a few more in the Spa...

I laid off the pool guy.and ordered the TF100 XL test kit. Thanks!

Hi! I have a 33,000 gal pool with two 2 hp pumps for pool, spa, and overspill. I purchased an E5 Zeolite filter with 300 lbs of Zeolite a year ago. I backwash a lot. I have room to add a second stage filter such as a Zeolite Antibacterial Cartridge, light or whatever. I would like to clean up...
