The water is clear and sparkly. I added some bleach will test again later today to see what is does. I guess depending on this results I will know if I need to slam is that correct. Thank you all very much for all the help.

Ok just checked the CC is also 0. I don't understand what would cause my numbers to go down to zero in a matter of a couple of days. Temp is 72

I didn't check for the combined chlorine I just assumed it would be 0 since the FC was 0 I'll go check it right now.

My husband did the absorbic acid treatment to my pool a couple months ago. Everything was looking good. I tested my chemicals Monday here is the results. 4/23 FC 5.5 CC 6.5 CH 225 TA 90 PH 7.5 CYA 55 I though the CH was a little low so yesterday I added some clorox pool calcium hardness to...

I'm loosing about 6 - 7ppm daily. Wood burning heater was installed by previous owners. We only tried running it once but only ran it one day so it didn't really heat much. We were told previous owners ran it daily. I'll add a picture of it as soon as it stops raining.

I'm having trouble keeping FC levels up adding about a whole gallon of bleach daily. Did the overnight test lost 1 ppm. What confuses me though is no signs of algae in my pool. The pool is crystal clear nothing on the bottom or sides of the pool so I'm really lost. My other numbers are good...

I have been using this method to take care of my pool for a couple of months kind of getting the hang of it. Still lots of questions though. Trying to maintain PH at 7.2 but I'm adding muriatic acid every couple of days. My numbers are ph 7.2 CH 300 FC 15 CC .05 CYA 80 TA 70 Water is crystal...

Was wondering if their is a way to check the FC with the blue kit that came with my TF-100. My CYA is 80 so I need to keep my FC on the higher side and from what I can tell the blue kit only goes up to 10. Thanks in advance for any help. Also daily I only need to check FC & Ph is this correct?

A few more questions. My numbers on Thursday about 4 pm: FC 15 ppm CC .5 PH 7.5 added muriatic Acid to bring it down Today: FC 12.5 CC .5 PH 7.5 added more muraitic acid CYA 80 Was wondering my swimming pool fountains are always on when the pump is on. Can't turn the dial to shut them off...

Did a partial drain this weekend. My new numbers are: FC 15 CC 2 TC 17 CH 275 CYA 80 PH 8.2 TA 130 I realize my FC is to high my husband snuck in some bleach. He thinks if it don't kill the ants it ain't high enough also if you can't smell it. This has been an ongoing argument. I think...

Do I drain half of it all at once or do I drain a little at a time? Kind of scared of it have heard that pools can pop out. Thanks
