HI: FC 7 CC .5 CYA 60 PH 7.5 I need some advice on how to adjust for the daily consumption of CL by the sun. Oklahoma City. Hot and sunny. the cya/cl chart gives me a minimum of 5 and a FC target of 7 for a CYA of 60. I am losing anywhere between 5-10 ppm of CL each day due to sun, I pass...

Here are my readings: FC 20 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 110 CH 390 CYA 50 NACL 600 I have a 17,500 gallon pool, the FC level is a result of shocking last night, I don't appear to have had any overnight chlorine loss. So I will just let that naturally drop until I have a target FC of 6 with a minimum of...

Great. And, I also have a spa waterfall into the pool that I usually let circulate to cool the water overnight. Does that contribute to chlorine loss? and if so, what should I do about it?

Hi! I have learned a lot from this board and am hoping to care for my pool properly with your help. I have a question about the minimum chlorine level and the target level. I am passing the overnight chlorine test, the pool is clear and in balance. I add liquid bleach to bring it to 8ppm at...

I have followed the advice. After drain and refill. My test results are: FC 3 TC 3 CC 0 Ph 7.3-7.4 TA 90-100 CH 230-250 CYA 60-70 (since I am colorblind, these are my best estimates) My FAS/DPD chlorine test hasn't arrived yet, so I am reluctant to significantly shock the pool since I won't...

OK. So will I still need to check chlorine levels after I install a SWG? What is the ideal CYA for a SWG, I have seen different suggestions.

Thanks for the quick replies. Should I use the pool main drain to lower the water or rent a pump? Also, if I am adding chlorine to get the FC up, how high can the FC level be and still let my children swim in the pool?

I just bought a home with a small 16,000 gallon inground concrete pool. I am having the person who did my pool inspection continue to take care of the pool until I can take it over myself. I am planning on having a salt chlorinator installed ASAP. I like in Oklahoma and it has been really hot...
