I’m in Nebraska and have had an auto cover as my winter blanket for 25 years. The cover has endured 3-4 foot drifts, heavy ice, and has not failed me. You should not have any problems as long as the water level of the pool remains stable. I fill my pool until there is 2-3 inches of water in...

Thanks, I think that is my only option. Does it do any good to raise the FC higher than what the chart says?

This morning's numbers: FC 1 CC 1 CYA 40 pH 7.4 CH 250 TA 260 Have been slamming for a week using 3-4 gallons 10% bleach per day. FC always over 12-15 in evening. Each morning FC is down to 1-2. Pool is crystal clear. Had swimmers last Sunday. Walmart guy and I are on first name basis...

FINALLY!! CC down to .75 and holding. FC was 3 this morning (same as yesterday) pH is 7.2 (had to raise it from the 6's). CYA 35, TA 250. Still slamming and trying to knock out the CC. Appreciated the pic of the Clorox truck. I am about 45 gallons into this thing. Pulled my light and...

Has anyone had experience with the HASA pool liquidator? Thinking of adding one to help level off FC.

tested again and it dropped to 6 Added more bleach to keep fc up am starting to raise cya. how much time does it take to go from 0 to 30?

Finally FC jumped from 2 to 8 ppm!!

Nine gallons of 10% chlorine. Out of chlorine and out of reagent in new test kit. Reload tomorrow and start over. - - - Updated - - - Not sure what to post. Test is either pink or clear.

Pumped 3/4 water out of pool last fall to reduce CYA. Pool installer always opens and closes pool. Could he have put something in this spring?

Took awhile to get pH down. I'm in my second 10 minutes. FC went up .5 to 1.5 CC went up to 7.5 Now in my fourth 10 minute cycle. FC coming up slowly. So is CC reading. I keep reviewing the test directions and am sure I am doing it right.
