We've been gone for a month and the person we asked to monitor the pool could not do it. So, we got home to a green pool. I guess that's to be expected in the month of June in AZ. Here are the measurements I just took using Taylor 2006 test kit. FC:0 TC:0 (sample would not turn red at all no...

Glad it worked out for you.. I wish my pool would've been pebble like your pool is and not plaster ... I'm still debating if I should do it or not

I got 50 or if I multiply by 4 is 200

3:1 you mean 3 parts pool water and 1 part tap/distilled or the other way around?

called them and they said we can't guarantee you the water is going to hold chlorine after the filtration we do I'd rather just empty the pool and get new water in...I might even do it myself if the experts assure me the pool won't crack if I keep the walls moist and the steps with water all...

Just did a dilution test pool water/ tap water..CYA lvl is around 220..It's a little bit over 100 and being consistent with the previous measures it looks like 110 x 2=220 Thx for your help

yes..High CYA I have the test kit They told me to drain it bought at the suggestion of the forum posters I want to make sure is safe to drain it and if I keep the walls of the pool wet while I keep water permanently on the steps I'll be OK to drain it even if I'm in AZ 105/85 day/night temp -...

I need to drain the pool. The water won't hold any chemicals anymore and based on everyone's advice They told me to drain it draining is the only solution. I found a "pool draining" company that can do it. Keep in mind I'm in Phx/AZ and the weather is 105/85 for a couple of days. He said he can...

I'm in Phx, Az and the heat just started. We should hit 100 degrees in a week or so. I really don't want to damage the pool by draining even 50%...You don't think if I dump a lot of liquid chlorine I might be able to get it back on track or clear it a bit? At this point I 'm willing to try...

Let's say I don't plan swimming in it..I just want the pool to look clear from the emerald green color it got now. Is there anyway to make the pool look clear without draining it?

I got my test and my first results. *Free Chlorine 0.2 ppm *PH 7.4 *Combined Chlorine 0.2 ppm *Total Alkalinity 140 ppm *Calcium hardness ---- could not make the test turn blue no matter how many drops I added ( as high as 32) *Cyanuric Acid well over 100 (100 is the max the test grades for)...

Touché :) I went ahead and ordered TAYLOR K-2006..I'll let you know once I have the kit and some results. Thank you again

Thank you for your answers. I can get my hands on a LaMotte 2056 ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Pool Water Test Kit for free. Is not one of the recommended test kits so I was wondering if I should get it or stick to the list. http://www.lamotte.com/en/pool-spa/digital-testing/colorq/2056.html

I have a 27k gallons pool. For the past 3 weeks (after a big storm) I can't get the water clear. The water is green and while it looks better (I can see the stairs) the pool is unusable. I tried everything from backwashing once a day, to pouring 8 gallons of chlorine, 3 bags of extra shock...
