I passed the three test!!! But my ph is kinda high and TA and calcium is low. Does it matter? FC=9.4 PH=7.8 TA=160 CH=120 CC= .4 CYA= 35 Any suggestions?

Re: FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> Ok thanks guys. Just tested my water and I am at 10FC ppm and .5 cc or less!!!! WOOt, I got rid of pucks . I am gonna have pool store test my CYA because I ran out of soulution. I will post results.

Re: FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> I just checked my CYA and now it is around 40ppm. To bad I have no more reagent lol. I also just added 70 oz of sodium hypo to bring my FC back up to 12 . Chlorinator is the think you put pucks in to maintain the chlorine level. That's another...

Re: FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> I AM A FOOL!! I just noticed on pool calculator I added 25 oz which was supposed to be 64 oz in liquid. Also when I realize mistake and when to add my liquid was creamy white. So don't even know if first 25 oz did anything because I didn't even shake...

Re: FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> Before I added 25oz of liquid stabilize. I just did that about 20 min ago. Also I retested my Cc on 25ml mark and it is at .6 . I just would hate to go to sleep and wake up with green out cloudy pool. I even just vacuumed and brushed walls and put new...

Re: FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> No . my pool is clear. Had bad storm last night and think that is problem. My Cc is around .75 ppm still. So I didn't pay the 3 test :(. Sorry about new topic. If I post in my old topic no one will reply. I just added some liquid stabilize. Can I...

FC dropped 7.5 since this morning???>> My FC was 8 this morning. Added some liquid chlorine to get it to 10. Just right now it is at 3.5. Can I add stabilizer and shock at same time?

Update!!! Merged by moderator. Please keep your related posts together. Thanks, jblizzle Pool looks great! Thanks to all you guys here especially rich! Still slamming though. My Cc is at 1 ppm. Almost there!

Hey rich, So I woke up this morning and pool was crystal clear. All the dead alage on the bottom. So I vacuumed it out straight into my sewer. of course had to add water once it got down below skimmer. My wife added shock last night when I wasn't home. Now my FC is at 22!!! hopefully the fresh...

Gotcha. I think it was below my original post of 20. So I added some stabilizer just to see if it goes up. I will check in morning. I am starting to get the hang of this pool chemistry. My big concern is that I have poor circulation cause my filters get clogged to quick. I cant stay up for 24...

Hmmmmm. OK thanks a lot. You have been very helpful. I appreciate it. Guess I am gonna add some stabilizer and then some more shock.

I think I misunderstood my CYA test. It is lower than 20. I did test again and after adding liquid shoock earlier my FC is at 7.5. That's a 1.5 loss plus what the 8 oz I added like the calculator told me to. But the calculator says bleach.... I am using shcock with 12.5% hypochlorite . Maybe...

So keep shocking until combined is less than .5 ppm ?

How many gallons of shock? Thank you for your help!

Ok, So I been having these issues where my cartridge filters keep clogging because of all the dead alage. To my surprise this morning most of it was on bottom. So I vacuumed to waste with my cartridge filter by taking cartridge out of hosing and running return straight into sewer. My pool is...
