The Crud on the bottom of the pool, is it supposed to be yellow???

My FC is 2.0 CC is 3.0 TC is 5.0 . I am going to put it in the online calc. and see how much chlorine I need to add.

Just wanted to say I just received my pool kit and boy they were fast getting it here. Was a bit surprised tho. Seems it too only goes up to 5 instead of the 15 you all tell me to have it at. It is a Trouble Free Test Kit . I am going now to go test my levels. I will tell ya this. I went out...

Thanks a bunch, can't wait to get it!!!

Yes most of it is from test strips , except the chlorine reading. I took it from the walmart kit. It was the highest the walmart kit can read . No, I have no "real " kit until this company sends me one, hopefully by tuesday they said. Yes I can take a sample to the pool place and get the...

Thanks so much !!! I just read that site, sounds very informative. Total Hardness- 1000 ( very high) what should I do ? Chlorine - on the wal-mart chart it was at the top PH - 7.8 TA - 120 Stabilizer- 50-100

What is CYA and how do i raise it or should I? Also , how do I raise the FC to 30??? And how do I lower the ph? Up until this time I have had the pool store do my water and tell me what to add and when , so now I hope I can rely on you all to assist me in educating me on all this new stuff...

I have a 2.5 horsepower cartridge filter pump and I have been cleaning it regularly since I have started, even used a few of those skimmer stockings and cleaned them out to cut down on the time. I just checked the pool and it was at the highest level of chlroine for my little test kit from...

I have begun the conversion from baquacil to chlorine and have suddenly found out my testing kit does not go up to the recommended 15 ppm. My kit I just ordered yesterday will not get here until Tuesday the earliest. Do I just keep blindly pouring clorox into my now green pool? Am I supposed...
