Hi, Can someone help me identify these worms? Are they just good old earthworms? They seemed to be quite happy and alive in the water when I extracted them from the pool pump. A couple years ago we came home from vacation to find animal remains in our pool. We had someone identify the bones as...

Indeed it was the missing TA. Once I entered that it recommended the proper amount of acid.

The pool Math app is recommending that I add 7.4oz of 20 baume acid to bring my pH to 7.5 from 8.6. This is obviously incorrect. See the attachment.

Passed yesterday. Now I am waiting for FC to drop to a good level for swimming. I am at 25ppm this morning. Based on the CYA chart I think I am shooting for 6-8. Can we swim at 25 with CYA around 80? I need to check the CYA but it was at 89 before I dumped some water. It is supposed to be...

And what do you consider low? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess whatever was/is growing is pretty much invisible because the water has been very clear. I noticed these tiny little green things that are probably from the trees nearby, right? (see below) I have been running my pump steady for a while at a low speed and then at a higher speed while...

Ok so I will continue to keep the chlorine up today. Either way, it is much better than the first day after SLAMing the night before. Went from 30+ down to 8 mid-day.

FC last night at 9:46pm: 37 This morning at 8:20am: 34 My chlorinator was off. We had some pretty heavy storms last night with lots of rain. Would that cause the chlorine to decrease? I know SLAM states no more than loss of 1ppm but I figure this is really close considering the amount of...

Morning test at 9:30am. This could have been earlier but the results look pretty good except the pH is low. It seems to be fluctuating from ~7 - 7.3 FC 6.9 CC .43 pH 6.9 CH 219 CYA - did not read this morning but previously 89 and I swapped some water yesterday. Last night's results at...

Well I guess I will be removing quite a bit more water in the future.

Drained and re-filled some water to try to reduce CYA a bit. I read that CYA tends to sit near the top of the water so turning off the bottom drain and dumping to waste a couple of inches from the skimmer should help. Will check CYA tomorrow. Applied the liquid chlorine via 8.25% bleach...

I get that these devices need calibration regularly. Please do not take this the wrong way... My device is brand new and calibrated by the manufacturer. If both devices were out of calibration then how could the results be nearly identical? Understand too that the eXact iDrip is an EPA...

The water is clear and sparkling and has been that way since opening. The results are from my own test kit and not test strips or the store. I bought a Sensafe eXact iDrip because I am partially color blind and feel that determining colors on my own was very inaccurate. The Sensafe is created...

Once I discovered the pool store was incorrectly telling me my chlorine levels were high when indeed they were very low, the battle between me and the pool began. Here are my current test results: FC - .70ppm Combined Chlorine - .97 ppm pH - 7.1 TA - 110 CYA - 83 Yesterday I added 32oz by...
