My apolagies for creating confusion with this tread I thought it would need a new one. I will stop using this one. Is it ok to go back to the my previous thread? But just to clarify... I have seen the CYA videos and read the instructions it's just the variation in the results that had me...

Hi duraleigh sorry, here "buffer" is the common name for sodium bicarbonate. I was aiming for a TA of 70 as it was down from 20 last week my SWG hasn't generated any FC in the last 2 days and it's dropped from 9.5 to 6 so I don't won't it to drop less than 5. It will be a sunny day tomorrow so I...

Hi Jezza i test the CYA both ways. I do it several times reusing the solution and also get some one else to test. I only test on bright sunny days as the results vary dramatically if cloudy. I will test again tomorrow and check FC and CC for any overnight changes. Since the SLAM the algae has...

Hi Kimkats i have used your method. I thinks it's the best way but still get variation.i will keep trying. Thanks

Hi Everyone i have just finished the SLAM and ready to balance the water. I had trouble with determining the CYA with the SLAM and erred on the higher value. I'm retesting and get values between 50-80 and it's driving me mad. If I had to pick a number I would say 60 or 70. My FC is down to 6 so...

I left the pool as I finished the SLAM. I got my brother to check the pool when he could and do a FC each time. I also set the filter for 10hrs a day on high speed (usually 8hrs). Instructed him to brush when he could. It looked good when I got back. FC had dropped below my target 2 days before...

Hi Crmdgnly Ive been away for 2 weeks and just saw your question. I Have found Nicole from Clear Choice Labs (CCL )great to deal with, very helpful. I have the Chlorine and CYA test kits. The chlorine test only does a 10ml sample and uses 0.5ppm increments. I suppose you can do a 25ml sample and...

Thanks Yippeeskippy for the clarification

Hi I have a question to clarify what you define as a plaster inground pool. Just checking the translation between USA and Australia. I have a concrete inground pool that is fully tiled with glass tiles. Is this a plaster pool? I ask as I would like to determine what my TA and CH should be. Thanks

My TAYLOR K-2006C has arrived:whoot: Before I post Taylor kit results I found with my OCLT I had last night FC 28 and next morning FC 29. Also my ph on controller down to 7.3 ?? Pool looks very clear today, no green on brushing walls. Today at 12.30pm Taylor kit result are FC 29.5 pH 7 TA 30...

Thanks Kim Water looks good, no green when brushed today ( yesterday cleaned lights). Running filtration 24/7 and flushing solar heating and brushing and cleaning with dolphin robot. Question, I have trouble determining the CYA end point. I get a range of 50-70 with same sample so is it better...

Pulled out niche pool lights today. Yes, found some algae but not a lot. Cleaned them out and now waiting to see if can maintain FC. Multiple pool scrubbing today. Filtration to run 24/7. Still having trouble determining CYA end point. Get between 50 and 70. Will take it as 70 to be on...

Ok Jezza. I've contacted Waterco and they have recommended an electrician or pool builder. I'm waiting for pool builder to get back to me. As the pool is less than 12 months old I want to make sure I don't void warranty if I do it. It's not ideal but I want to check with him. Finally got notice...

Ok. I've got this image that water will get in the back of light cavity and cause problem. I have 'Britestream multicoloured LED niche light" and if someone can tell me it's ok to remove whilst under water I will do it. Otherwise I will need to call Waterco . Sorry just being cautious but very...

So you are saying that I can unscrew light fittings whilst underwater? I got confused the return jets are at same level as lights but cannot see how to remove fitting [/URL]
