Re: Digging up pipes & starting over: all new PVC, pump, filter, skimmer, heater, etc

In the middle of all this work, my mother sold her house and needed to move, so I haven't had a chance to upload from my computer yet! Otherwise, everything I upload from my iPhone ends up rotated 90 degrees!

Baseline reading:

0 FC & CC (expected)
ph 7.4-7.6 (about right)
330 TA (whoa!!!)
0 CYA

Dropped 2 lbs of last years leftover CYA in a bag in front of the skimmer, and will drop 2 gallons of chlorine in later tonight. I've had better luck holding chlorine when I drop it in at sundown. What to do about that TA though?!?!

Mitch, Please check the date code on that test kit. Now telling how long it has been sitting around the pool $tore.

Here is a link for lowering your TA:

I'm good until 4/18 on the reagents. This store stocks and sells a ton of Taylor kits & reagents for pros, so I wasn't worried about it being an old kit. I did double check it before I bought it, so I knew what I was getting. That's one reason why I spent the extra $30 compared to what I could have spent on it versus Amazon!

i do remember that now, but I hadn't had to lower my TA in quite a while. With the pool pretty much not operable at all last year, my memory was a bit foggy on my chemical balancing! 330 down to 80-110 is going to take forever, isn't it?
