I measured cya and it was zero. there is really no point to add it at this point as the pool will likely be closed mid September (the latest).

I never added stabilizer this season and never had any problem with any sort of algae growth so based on that I did not see a reason to add it, only problem was that I brushed the floor recently and it made it cloudy. will do the slam and see where it gets me.

Last week for the first time Since May I brushed the floor of the pool and could see lots of green clouds being formed by the brush stroke. My understanding is that this is algae, I poured 10 litres of liquid chlorine into the pool last night and waited 24 hours to test the water while keeping...

Hi everyone- I bought a 17 lb bucket of calcium hardener and dumped it in my pool about two weeks ago, left the pump running overnight and water tested at 210 ppm, today I bought another bucket that looked much older and from the sticker that was on it, it seems like it was manufactured in 2009...

It should be 150,000 Liters so its just about 40,000 gal. I dont know the exact measurement of the pool nor the capacity since its not rectangular all the way around and the previous owners left no literature. When I went to the store to buy the Calcium Chloride the lady said that unless the...

Hmm, so it looks like I have 0 CYA than. I opened up my pool in late May and the only chemicals I add on a weekly and biweekly basis is liquid chlorine to bring up FC and muatric acid to bring down PH. I bought a bucket of Calcium Chloride right now for 25 bucks which will increase the CH by...

Hi everyone- I have the Taylor K-2006 test kit and below are my results. My understanding for the CYA is that the solution is supposed to get cloudy and the dot in the test vile is supposed to disappear when you pour the solution into it, thus getting the ppm results. For some reason my solution...

This website is like getting your PHD in anything related to pools. I moved into a house with a massive complicated pool system and am figuring things out bit by bit. Tremendous source of info here!

Hi- FC seems to be low for a couple of reasons if I am understanding correctly given my limited knowledge, firstly there was rain two days in a row and the pump was off during these two days. I actually had to empty the pool a couple times. Secondly I only turn on the pump at night, from about...

Hi- I have the Taylor K2006 test kit, its a 60,000 gallon gunite pool. I did not test for CYA yet but will do so tomorrow.

I bought the K-2006 from amazon for roughly $200 shipped to my door in Toronto. On Ebay you can get it for around $160-$180. Delivery was about 1.5 week.

I tested the water today and below is the outcome of the test. According to the test kit I need to bring out the PH, raise FC and lower CC to 0. I also need to raise CH to 250-300. anyone have any suggestions If I am doing anything wrong? I have added the Muatric acid now and have left the pump...
