When I took my sample to Leslie's to double check my cya, their test showed zero phosphates

Re: Disappearing CYA Just finished your thread chem geek. Wow, interesting . I had my pool cover on for the three days of about 100 degree weather with probably no chlorine.... I'm glad I didn't come home to a swamp. I just tested and my FC was 4 after raising it to 10 about 7 hrs ago and my...

Re: Disappearing CYA How do I know that there is no ammonia in the pool? Water is clear but now it looks like I have a bleach line around the water line. I'm only pouring in 144 of bleach in to raise it to 10, that shouldn't be high enough to damage the liner is it?

Sorry I thought maybe no one had read my other post...but maybe no one knows what to say :(. I added some cya, I'll retest in the morning. Also noticed this morning my liner looks bleached ....sigh

Disappearing CYA I posted on my old thread but thought maybe it should be a new subject? Anyways.... My CYA is disappearing... I opened my pool in May and Leslie's sold me stuff based on their recommendations and I added their stabilizer. I had an issue with it being cloudy in June , not being...

Pool has been fabulous and enjoyable. I raised my cya up to 60 about a month ago and it was smooth sailing and maintaining FC....until I l left for two days. I came back to a super cloudy pool again. I tested and 0 chlorine and 0 cya. How is that even possible? I am under the impression that you...

Awesome , thank you!

Balancing my numbers I'm back again! I left for a week on our family vacation and now I need to balance my numbers . I have the chlorine down but I just want to make sure I'm going about the other problems in the right order FC 4 CC 0 TA 125 pH 7.7 (7.8) cYA 20 (could be lower, I couldn't add...

I have checking and adding bleach every three hours. It has dropped the last two times to 11.5 FC and the CC to .5 (last time might be less than .5 since the water barely changed with the 10 ml). Water looks clearer already. Should I keep adding or leave the pump running over night and see how...

I got my kit! FC-2. CC-.6. CYA 33. TA 130? pH. 7.0 Should I start the slam process to bring down my CC and then lower my TA and raise my pH?

Sig test

Using the pool calculator I should add 83 oz of 6 % bleach. Do I keep my swg system running?

I am sure this is a dumb question, but since I have a SWG and my CYA level is 35, what would be my shock level since its not on the chart? Do I just add liquid bleach until I get a higher FC reading, with my generator off? I like to think I am an intelligent person, but I am sure having a hard...

I got the test results from Leslie's after using my strips and hth 3 way drop kit :(. I just ordered the Taylor 2006 kit off amazon after skimming through posts here on the forum. I'm going to read the articles posted above and go buy some bleach.

I'm new to having a pool and everything has been running smoothly the last six week until we got hit with 104 degree weather and decided to spend two days in the pool. Now my water is super cloudy and I am getting a zero reading for chlorine. I even had it on super chlorinate last night for 8...
