Good news, the overnight test showed no loss in FC. Pretty sure my loss during the day is due to my still high CYA, after draining 2/3 and refilling, of about 65, and sun.

thank you

Hi. I have been running my pump constantly for the past 3 days. I would like to do a oclt tonight, okay to let my pump continue to run? The video on your site says to run it for 30 minutes before the Morning sample, but if it is running all night that’s okay?

saw your note about using CDX, that is what I had been using for over 4 years, and still got the slime.

Hi, I did a conversion from baquacil to chlorine this Spring. My pool was a hot mess when I opened it, as it had a pink slime issue last Fall when I closed it. If I could do it over, I would have drained it. Instead, I schlepped to the pool store and asked them to please take all my money and...

OK, FC is 9. Lets see what happens in the AM

getting a little concerned as I tested just now and FC back to 1. It was a very hot day here today, so hopefully that caused it. I used pool math to determine how much to put in to get to 9 FC and did that (about 210 ounces). I'll test now to see what it is.

Okay, new and somewhat bad test results this AM. FC = 1 CC = 0 CYA = 60/65 PH = 7.5 water temp 68 Had a good amount of rain yesterday and in the AM I put in another gallon of chlorine as I was at around FC of 3.5 Advice? Putting liquid chlorine in it now to get going and keep it from bloomin'

Did the test. This AM no loss in FC. When I went to bed it was FC level of 3.5 which was less than when I first did the test after filling and adding a gallon of the chlorine (FC was 5). BUT, it didn't go down overnight which is good. I am now going to put in the required amount to get it to...

Will do!

But is the FAS DPD test the one with the powder in the t100 kit?

Yes, we did convert that way. I can run that test but can't find the test directions at Extended Test Kit Directions – Trouble Free Pool. Clicking on the extended test link just brings me back to that page. Not sure what I am using to do that test with. I have the T-100 kit

Hi, thanks for the quick replies. I can't seem to find a way on the pool math app to figure out how much liquid chlorine to add in order to get to 7-9 ppm. Do I need to add values somewhere first? I don't have premium access and I think I already added some tests an hour ago before my...

OKAY, fill is done. Before I did anything, other than running the pump for 30 minutes, here are my test results: FC .5 CC 0 TC .5 CH 400 TA 140 CYA 60 (yeah, was 110 before) PH 7.5 I put a gallon of liquid 10% chlorine in the pool then tested chlorine 60 minutes later: FC 5 CC 0 (?) TC 5...

Okay, refill has started. While that happens should I soak my DE cartridge to clean it? If so what is recommended to use. I put a gallon of liquid chlorine in the pool while filling
