Pool Looking and maintaining nicely. Here I'm trying out a look for my daughters basketball games. Go Panthers!

9:30 am FC 29.5 The CC test is with reagents so 18 drops * .5 would be a big fat 9. Ill have you know that the tech on the phone wanted me to ad 13 lbs of MPS shock. I read the threads and stopped at two. Shall I just maintain a 20 until the CC is gone? I can leave the SWG off until it drifts...

I am just getting in at midnight and a fc test shows 30. I've added only 1 gallon of bleach this afternoon. Anyhow... I've turned off the swg and will read in the morning. I sure wish I had not run out of 0871. I also tested the cc and it is @ 9. Not sure why or even if its something I...

Not a problem. My pool is in a courtyard. Three walls 20' tall.

OK I will turn the SWG off. Yes I will read at 7pm tonight then again at 7am tomorrow

Well I am in total disbelief. My pool is crystal clear. It was cloudy 13 hours ago and now its blue and clear. When I cleaned the filter this morning it was still a bit foggy but 6 hours later it is clear. My chlorine level did drop 4 ppm so i added 1/2 gallon of 8.25% and I retested my other...

Thanks for the advice and confidence. When I saw the ultra high reading I kinda freaked. I tested the other levels because I thought I might have snafued them all. I don't know where my calcium went or how my cya took a trip skyward. I will retest in sunlight.

Finally got new regent. Tested free chlorine. Its 38. Oops. I think I will stop with the bleach and test again every 3 hours and not add any more until it drops to 15. If it holds for the next 12 hours I will assume the alge is beat. My last test was this morning. It was a 12. I have added 8...

Ive cleaned the filter. Milky white residue. Added another 1.5 gallons of bleach. I'm now out of reagent. Ill be looking for more today. Until i find it i will be adding 1.5 gallons every 2 hours for the rest of the day.

My current occupation is as my kids father. I've got some time to get on this and make it happen. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks so much..

so in the course of the first day or 2 i might be adding 9-10-11 gallons of bleach. Thats what i was concerned about. That I would be adding a lot of chlorine. Now I understand that it is necessary to add as much as needed (3 gallons at first) to reach then additional gallons as needed until...

yes CC high according to my test. OK so i will lower the ph a bit and add 3 gallons of bleach. Now I just added 3 gallons last night with very little increase. So I will repeat this again now. Then I will test 2 times a day for FC. If it is below 20 then I will add enough bleach to bring it...

I can lower PH no problem. The chart does not have a shock for CYA of 50. Should I bring my stabilizer up to 70 first. I would add a pound to do so. Why put it in a sock? Curious? Then after I add the stabilizer I can add the 4 gallons of bleach the same day or wait till the stabilizer...

Ph 7.6 cya 50 ta 65 ch 350 I clean my pool filter every other week. Yes SWG

13.5k pool Salt water Plaster 3 years old DTP test kit --------------------- All Chemistry is good. three weeks ago I treated the pool for stains with jacks magic #2 and Magenta Stuff. Stains are gone, pool looks good. but now i have cloudy water. My FC reading is 1.5 and my CC is 9+. Jack...

sounds good. i will leave the cc where it is. i will also retest the CYA in a few days and post the result

my first time testing the CYA. i was surprised at the result. before i had water tested at pool store. the results were around 70. think its possible to loose that much to a weeks worth of rain?

FC is a 6.5 CC is .4 PH is 7.6 CH is 200 CYA 35 (lots of rain) TA 100 temp 90 im looking to lower the CC to 0

the chemical is muriatic acid. they want to add 10 gallons to remove the stain. what are your thoughts on this approach?

the pool company want to come and pour a chemical in the pool to try to remove the stain. i will be unable to use the pool for about 4 days

Ive had pool only two years. about 6 months after it was filled i began to notice a 'fog' developing around my tiles at the bottom of the pool. i have pictures from all stages of the build. i can attach them if i could figure it out. they are on my desktop pc. each time i select the file...
