Re: Intex Krystal Clear Model 637R Filter Pump Troubleshooti
Get a real test kit, can the strips. I dont have the best one like the guys here suggest, but I get by without the CYA test. I get that done at the pool store once a month for free.
Check out the Pool Calculator at http://www.poolcalculator.com/
Adjust the size to your number of gallons at the top. Adjust your surface type to "vinyl" towards the bottom. Adjust your suggested goals to troublefreepool.com in the same area. Adjust your primary source of chlorine to your choice of chlorine. Mine is bleach.
Change the "Now" column for FC to zero, and your "Now" column for CYA to zero, and hit "Calculate"
In the fields to the right you will see the suggestions on how much stuff to add. If you are using bleach, add that much now.
Do you have pool conditioner {CYA}? You can get it from Walmart and Lowes. Measure out the required amount, pout it into an old sock, tied with a shoestring over the pump discharge. squeeze it often to get things moving.
Get a good test kit! Holler anytime, I'll help the best I can, but I'll bet lots of folks here will step up [and maybe provide better assistance!} if I'm not around!
