    FC not testing

    I’m currently following it PRECISELY . I had a question on what do to with CYA during SLAM. I had tested at 20-25 then storms added about 4 inches to the pool and I started to read 0 after

    Yeah, it was consuming it completely a couple days ago. The wife is going to get a crash course tomorrow, if she wants her party to happen next Sunday, she’ll be an astute student lol For reference: was losing about 2 PPM roughly every 2 hours yesterday evening. Tested before bed and was at 14...

    Was reading up on ammonia, you think it’s possible that’s what happened? I feel that I’m on the right track now. Chlorine is not disappearing upon treatment and over night test is getting better.

    FC was down to 2 or 3 this morning. I was in a rush and forgot to check CC. Off to purchase more chlorine later.

    Put two gallons in and tested 30 minutes later at 15FC and .5CC. We’ll see what the morning brings. Good news is I’m home for 4 nights before heading of to Montana!

    FC not testing

    The confusing part is I tested chlorine after the pump had not ran for 3 days and it tested the same (4) as its testing now. This was all today. Got home at five, vacuumed to waste, skimmed the pool, tested water. Turned filter on with sock in the basket and continued to skim pool. Added the 3...

    FC not testing

    I vacuumed to waste, skimmed the pool, and put a sock on the skimmer. Filter pressure is fine. Testing with the TF-100 kit. I know it’s a process, as I said, I travel for a living and it’s not the easiest to stay on top of it for a couple days at a time. My main question is there a reason the 3...

    FC not testing

    To start off, I travel for a living so getting the pool open and clear can be a challenge. My pool is green every opening. So to get into it. Opened with CYA at 20. TA at 120. Put two gallons of 12% in and could see the bottom of the shallow in the next morning! FC was 20 the night before, 18...

    Can't get rid of cloudiness

    No lights or steps. I have two ladders and that is all. I brush both when I brush the pool.

    Can't get rid of cloudiness

    Am I crazy?

    I'm completely out of the CYA test, so I'm waiting on those refills. I also found it weird that before I did the shock this evening, my PH showed 8.2 or above on the drop test. After I added the chlorine and tested again, the PH showed around 7.2. - - - Updated - - - CC was around 2 when I tested

    Am I crazy?

    I'm waiting on my refills for the T100, I used my leftovers from the T100 which are close to two years old and the basic drop test.

    Am I crazy?

    So, I started my opening yesterday of an expected green pool. I had to close my pool earlier than I wanted to last year due to having back surgery at the end of September, so I expected it to be a mess. So I got everything started up and circulating, vacuumed to waste and shocked it last night...

    The battle is won

    Yes, has been a dream for a couple weeks now. Add chlorine and brush/net the bottom daily is all I've had to do (adding about a gallon of 10% every two days). One question, all my water numbers are excellent PH 7.2, TA 150, CYA 30, but my CH is low at 100. Should I be worried about it?

    Leak help

    Ok, I have returned from vacation and ready to tackle this problem if possible. I had to just let the pool sit while I was gone, so it is good and green. Before I left, I let the pool continue to fall without adding water. I put the plugs in my return jets as well. Before I left, the water was...

    Leak help

    Ok, I have discovered that I definitely have am losing water in my pool to a leak. I noticed I was losing around an inch and a half or more of water in around 24 hours. So here are the steps I've taken so far: 2 days ago I filled to normal level (little over half way up the skimmer inlet)...
