CYA is 50ppm today. Chlorine is 5ppm. Fingers crossed. TF-100 test kit should be here today or Monday.

Chlorine pucks and clear brite pucks from the pool store drove our CYA over 300. My fault for not testing frequently enough. I spent 2 weeks draining and filling slowly. Couple hours of filling with the garden hose... let it circulate for a few hours... open the waste valve and blow off a...

Yep, 1 decimal point. Chlorine has come up to 5ppm--6ppm. After adding, the pump was still circulatig for 2hrs before it shut down for the night. I'll let it circulate for an hour or two in the morning and test it again.

Raise chlorine levels by 4ppm My math must be off.

Okay Thanks very much. I need to get up to around 4ppm---5ppm per the chart. I'll use straight liquid chlorine bleach... household stuff. Its what we have on hand. I can't use any scented laundry products or shampoos, due to sensitive skin. (thanks Mom) Never felt like I needed the...

Thanks for the response. Just realized I double posted. Sorry. Should I use any liquid chlorine bleach to try and raise the levels right now? The dip strip tests are showing around 1--2ppm, maybe less. Tough to read on the dip strip... Its low. Would adding liquid chlorine bleach bind with...

Chlorine pucks and crystal clear pucks drove our CA over 300ppm. I've been slowly filling with fresh water and dumping for 2 weeks. Rain water has helped a little. Fortunately I was able to spread this excessive waste of water over 2 months of water bills by timing this operation to coincide...
