Ok thanks!!

It sure does. What product do / should I have going forward?

I used 2 ounces of the blue liquid product = per the instructions on the bottle. If I was supposed to add more than that, why did the instructions on the bottle not indicate that more than 2 ounces were required?

Purchased a 330 gallon Rhythm hot tub and just drained and refilled it for the first time since installation. I used 2 ounces of Ahh Some prior to the purge. I'm currently in the process of getting the FC/TA/Ph in order using a TF Test Kit and Pool Math app. I follow the Dichlor to liquid...

TA was 70, four days ago. And yes, the pump is running. Its on a timer for 12AM to 8AM and I’m typically adding LC around 8PM, any concerns with the pump not turning on until 4 hours after? Ok perfect, I will try an OCLT after the cover comes off. Its currently 54 degrees here in Iowa so who...

I believe I made my Pool Math results public, but if not, I’ve been running the following results for the last five days with a TF-Pro: FC - 4 CC - 1 pH - 6.8 CYA - 40 I’ve been targeting FC of 7 so I’ve been adding around 23oz of 12.5% LC each of these days after testing. The pool cover is...

Ok thank you very much. When I add it to the pool and log it on the app, should I just input “Bleach Chlorine” at 7.55% instead of the defaulted 6%?

Just bought it about a month ago? I looked for any discernible expiration date on the bottle and this is all I found:

So I pulled the bottle of Clorox (it is NOT non-splash and also not scented, just regular liquid bleach) from the laundry room today to see what percent was listed on the bottle. It states: 7.55% Sodium Hypochlorate / 92.45% Other Ingredients Everything I read on here, along with the Pool Math...

I unfortunately learned about the effects trichlor & dichlor have on my CYA AFTER spending some $500 on a chlorine bundle back in March. ☹️ Feeling more and more like I’m just gonna eat my losses and switch to liquid chlorine.

I think so… I just need to keep testing and get used to it! Thanks!

Ok thanks. I think I was just getting tripped up because it was still recommending 30 oz of Borax to raise pH (which was the same recommendation from my 5/9 test. I added the Borax around 3pm yesterday then tested around 8pm. Does it just take a while for that to mix in and impact the pH test...

Does the Pool Math app’s recommendations “reset” with each additionally logged test result and corresponding additions? What I mean is: I logged TF-Pro results on 5/9 and tested for everything - FC/CC/pH/TA/CH & CYA. That reading recommended 3.7oz of dichlor and 30 oz Borax which I added both...

As I read more and more on this site, and learned more and more, I kept thinking about the frequency in which a sucker is born (me). 🤣 Maybe they’ll let me return some of it? Would I be correct that the dichlor has CYA in it as well? Or just the trichlor? Thanks so much for the welcome and...
