From what I read seems so strange it went down so fast even with the water clean up we did. But I did the test twice the first time. Couldn’t see black dot at 60. Was worried acid was high so was happy when we cleaned pool a bit to waste to add some new water. I have performed the test again and...

Just reordered the small container of powdered to do the more accurate fc cc test bc found mine is no longer useable. So fc and cc numbers are with Taylor

No no. Not the whole pool. I am just saying we replaced a bit of the water by vacuuming. I am using the 100 test kit. I missed a few days and here I am. Went from cya at 60 to 0.

Vinyl. The cya last week was high so as we swept to waste we added water

Pool is 16x32 and around 18000 gallons

So we slammed the pool after opening and it cleared up but is now hazy and I tested per below. I know I need to add the chemicals identified but wondered if there was a proper order to do so or timing in between. Also I have some “ph down” from Leslie’s and wondered if I could use that in lieu...

Thanks so much. I had learned about the PH so not a surprise. I will start lowering pool. Thanks so much.

I was planning to wait for chlorine to go down to re test for ph etc but since it doesn’t seem to be declining quickly wondered if I should go ahead with borax and baking soda and if so if there is an order for adding those. Also wondering if we can swim now.

If you cannot read link it is FC 26 CC 2 PH 6.8 or maybe a little less TA 50 CH 150 CYA 110 Pool is surrounded by trees but gets hours of sun daily and is brushed fairly often at least every other day and dolphin used a few times a week. Sand filter and vinyl walls

So I went ahead and did it all traditional way and used less 0870 but it still turned plenty pink but at least not purple sludge. So here are the results.

And chlorine tabs have been out for four days time

Ok I tried but when I got up to 80 drops and the purple was just beginning to fade i gave up thinking I may need to dilute with distilled water. What do you think?

So I have a tf100 but got away from checking it myself and hubby told pool boy son to keep putting three tri chlor tabs in chlorinate every time running low. Now pool chlorine is well over 20. Maybe higher. I Haven’t done anything but a basic oh test which now shows 6.8. Yikes. Not sure if other...
