Thank you! Before last night's torrential downpour, I retested after adding 32 oz borax and 2 gal clorox. Readings were: FC 13.6 CC 0.1 pH 7.4 Alk 110 CYA 60 Don't know why my CYA went up 10, but still normal. Water looks fantastic and I hope to be plunging in this weekend (in between...

Hi all! I have another question.... We have had some heavy rains. I tested and received the following: FC 2.4 CC 0.1 pH 7.2 Alk 110 Should I increase the chlorine to maintenance levels or should I do a shock level? Thank you!

Yep, just a faint smell... and I thought the exact same thing as your wife... it reminded me of being at the community pool when I was young!

My free chlorine has been staying at 4-5 range. Combined at 0.2 range! it looks fantastic! I do think it kinda smells like a chlorine pool... is that normal? it is not a strong chlorine odor, just smells "clean".

Thank you all so very much for your information! My pool hasn't looked as good as it does now in years!

Thank you for your response! One last question (yea, right!) :D Once these conditions are met, do I keep the FC at maintenance level, or do I need to "shock" on a weekly basis? I guess I'm not sure how to maintain once balanced. I am used to the many years of pool store advice, and I maintained...

Thank you!

Just ordered my testing kit! In the meantime, does anyone think I should do anything to my pool until I get it? I would hate to see it turn green, especially since it looks so nice!

Thanks everyone! I will update when I get my supplies!

Thank you so much for your help! I will definitely purchase my own testing system! I did review the poolmath, and according to it, I need 4 gal of clorox.... I'm thinking that since I added stabilizer last saturday, I should wait until the weekend to start anything. I also reviewed the other...

Thank you for your quick responses! The numbers posted are the second water analysis done at my local pool store. The first analysis only really differed in the Cal Hardness. I was glad to see that reading come down, and my water does look significantly better! It was very cloudy, and when I...

Hi Everyone! I have a 24ft round AG pool that is 12 years old. I have never had any trouble with it until about 2 years ago. I had problems keeping chlorine in the pool. Over the season I added a very large amount of chlorine, and didn't get a stable reading until the end of the season. Last...
