Lol!!!! But shouldn't I have lost some chlorine????

Hello and welcome! I'm new too, but wanted to quickly chime in until the experts arrive....your CYA needs to be increased. If you are at 0, you won't be able to maintain FC. Read "Pool School" and it will explain a lot. Also, the CYA/FC ratios. Also look at Pool Math...that will tell you how...

So I tested this at 7:49am: FC. 7 CC 0 pH 7.4 After 4 kids playing for 2 hours midday.... tested again at 5:49pm FC. 7 CC. 0 pH 7.6 Sunny all day and around 87 degrees. I lost NO chlorine???

Re: Why so much hate on pool store's water test? Have you ever checked out Reverse Osmosis? it may pencil for you guys in the desert.

Make sure the regent you buy from Leslie's is not expired! I bought 2 oz R004 from them an it expired in 2/2017 lol! So back it's going tomorrow.

Thanks as always Richard!:p

If you put your question in the "search" bar, which is located in the upper right hand corner, you will find other posts about the same issue. I read a few and it looks like it turns green due to the metals in the water (a chemical reaction I suppose). Im sorry your dealing with this! I am sure...

I did the same thing! I let my chlorine level down as I had run out. Dont worry, you got this...

Good Morning! Cant wait to see your beautiful pool all crystal clear and blue! Just wanted to say though, the picture looks like an "inground pool" not an "above ground" pool. That makes a difference on some things.

Your soooooo smart...I know I speak for alot of us here; "Thank you Richard!" for all your posts and knowledge!!!

Hi, welcome and I had same problem! Your CYA is too high. I had to drain and so do you, OR you could call a Reverse Osmosis company to filter/r/o all your water. The first thing any of the pros here will tell you is get YOUR OWN TEST KIT! Someone will chime in and give you the website. Then...

Hi, congrats and welcome!:kim:Beautiful pool and spa! Im new as well, but been around enough to know that pictures of your pool equipment will be asked for. You will be turning valves to turn on jets...but need to see your pool equipement!

You can also type in "brown water" in the search bar of this site and you will come up with tons of other old posts regarding your same problem. I personally use that all the time! :)
