I know it can be hard when you're new and people seem to be a little bit scolding - it sucks, but they are just trying to help so don't stop posting. We all mess up, I'm new too and I screwed up big time as well. I would listen to Richard up above for your Ph and CYA adjustments - he seems to...

As a wife, and I'm not taking sides, but just saying - you mentioned earlier about the novelty wearing off. Well - I was the one that wanted the hot tub and it did. It's been drained for a year now and I don't even miss it. If you are installing a sauna and steamroom, which I think is totally...

Agreed - same thing through State Farm. Not expensive at all and you just never know what can happen - even outside of the pool area. That being said, the pool should only be open to guests when you are there. As someone said in an earlier post, you may trust your neighbors, but you don't know...

Thank you all for your help - haven't been able to test pool past couple of days due to life in general, but here's today's numbers FC 12 CC 0 Ph 7.0 (or below - took 5 drops of base demand to come to 7.6) TA 90 CH 80 CYA 40 SWG 3600 Pool is blue but cloudy. I know SLAM says to continue til...

Thanks guys! - Yes, i put in 15 bottles between the 18th and the 31st, not realizing someone (not gonna say who he might be) had turned on the SWG to superchlorinate. Cover is off - no sun, just lots of rain today, but supposed to be getting some sun back in next few days. I will test and post...

I got the FAS DPD off Amazon - and yes, I did ignore the test results because as I stated earlier in the original post, it smelled like cat pee. There is no way I had 70 ppm FC with that kind of smell and it turning back to green. This last test, yes, was a 5:1 dilution as Dan recommended. The...

sorry for the delay, had to work last night.. Tested it this morning using the dilution method you suggested Dan - it took 22 drops so 110ppm? Pool is still blue but cloudy and I just don't see how it can be that high and not be bleaching the liner or the hose. Oh, and I did make sure to use 2...

Thanks for the quick replies. Am using a Taylor K-2005 kit but have the FAS DPD test for the FC/CC. It's the FAS DPD test I was using that I was getting the high readings from. Something is throwing it off because I know if the FC was actually that high, the liner would be white and I would be...

Hi all - new to the forum, probably my first post but I've been lurking around a while with much success until now...sorry so long of a post... Took pool cover off on the 18th to a swamp, complete with tadpoles, which was expected. We had a couple of really bad wind storms this winter that...
