Jim, Thanks for the tip. I will do that, could have this morning so hopefully tomorrow is a success.

Jim, Yes I do understand the chlorine will be used/bound constantly due to stuff that keeps dropping in the pool from that darn tree. I forgot to add that I do have some of those clorox chlorine pucks in there to try and keep the chlorine up at times that I can't tend to the pool. I added two...

Hello, I have been chasing the chlorine and pH levels since December when our pool was installed. I understand that the pH will take a while to adjust. The chlorine keeps dipping and I add more liquid chlorine. I am wondering if I should shock the pool before it gets much warmer here. We are...

Thank you all for the advice. Correct, I do not have a SWG so I will stop using the pucks and go grab bleach. I didn't know that a higher CYA can cause algae growth. I have a lot to learn. My taylor pamphlet that came with the kit gives 2 ranges for TA one is 80-100 and the other is 100-120. I...

Hello, I am a new pool owner and have been testing my water on a weekly basis. Last week my readings were FC: 2.0 CC: 0 TA: 90 pH: 8.0 CH: 200 CYA: 55 Temp: 60F To bring down the pH I added muriatic acid, I believe the pool math calculator said somewhere around 36 oz. I also added one puck of...

So I did the calculation in the pool math tab and it says to use 2- 96 oz jugs of 6% bleach, so I can use clorox ultra? This is our first pool and I don't want to damage anything. When I do the stabilizer how long do I wait before adding the chlorine. I do have a floater with three tabs in it...

Thank you Jim. I ran a test and had the store run a test. Their results were close to mine. The difference was when I did my test the pump was running and I pulled my samples from the other side of the pool. I had the store run their test two days later and it took about 15-20 minutes for me to...

I am a new pool owner, the pool is new and was filled on 12/10/17. We get one month of service with the install but the service tech isn't doing a thorough job. My TA is 60, CH is 180, . I use a taylor K-2006 FAS DPD kit that is also new. The guy at the pool store said to increase TA first and...
