I need some hep. I have been shocking almost two weeks. My oclt test showed a drop of 4 ppm at first. Friday morning it showed a drop of 1.5. Saturday morning it dropped 2. My cc has been fluctuating between 0-0.5. My cya started at 50 and has been dropping to 40 to 30. Yesterday I added 19 oz...

ok thanks, according to the cya/chlorine chart I need to raise fc to 20. Does this sound correct? Is it normal to have algae and a cc level of 0? Should I check my cya during the process?

I performed the test, these are my numbers: last night FC 21.5 CC 0 this morning FC 18.5 CC 0.

No I have not performed that test. My cc is 0

Ok thanks any thoughts on why it is taking so long to clear up? I tried to take a picture but could not get it to come out.

According to the sheet in the TF 100 kit my TA should be between 100-120 this is why added to increase. My FC is high because I shocked before I had the test kit. What should my shock level be?

Since I didn't have a test kit I added chlorine, ran and back washed and brushed the pool to try and get rid of the algae. This is our first pool and we are unsure how to care for it which is why we joined the site. We started treating it before we came upon your treatment process.

I just received my test kit and performed my test. Here are the results : TA 80, CYA 35, PH 7.2. My chlorine is extremely high as I hav been shocking the last three days. Therefore I was unable to perform a Chlorine Drop Test. I have been shocking, back washing and scrubbing daily. According to...

I just ordered the TF100, unfortunately they are backordered and won't be shipped until June 14. We have a basic test kit, it is similar to the basic one on the link attached to your response, it tests only chlorine and ph. I did shock it last night hopefully it will look better after work. Once...

Thanks for the response. My wife sent the message. Here is a little info about our situation. The pool came with the house we recently bought. It is only 6 months old, it is a 24ft x 52 inches approximately 13000 gallons. It has a sand filter with either a 1.5 or 2 horse pump not sure. They had...

All the levels are normal but I have brown spots that move when touched
