I went to a different pool store this last time and bought a different brand hoping for some type of result.... It is called... Pool Season and it says it is 100% cyanuric acid. With this brand I can see a lot of white film floating on top of the pool. Jamie

I am still having a heck of a time with my CYA. I added 6lbs on May 29th. Tested a week later and still no reading. My water was beautiful but no CYA. I waited another week and added another 5 lbs.... Still nothing. I added another 6lbs last night (sock method) and today the water is...

Thank you Jason!!!

I am just going to add all solid. Should I add 6lbs still or should I reduce it some because of the liquid I added on Friday? I am still not getting a CYA reading. Thanks!!

First, Thanks for the help! I have been shocking now for 3 days. I still can't get my FC to hold overnight. The pool is clear and I keep brushing. I went to the pool store and told the girl I needed 6lbs of stabilizer. I asked if they had liquid and she said yes. She told me 96oz of liquid...

Ok I will take all of your advice and not add the Dichlor... I will stick with bleach and shock all day. I am not sure about how much stabilizer to add to increase the CYA.... My little black dot never goes away so I know that the CYA is under 20. Also, what number should I enter to shock at...

FC 0 CC .5 ALK 125 PH 7.0 CYA under 20 My pool was perfect until the rain came and working to many hours. I am working on my PH now. I have never used Dichlor before and read that it will also raise my CYA so I thought I would give it a shot. The charts are calling for 94 oz. My Question is...

Where do I purchase polyquat 60. I have searched around and none of the home stores or discount stores seem to have it. I did call a pool store and they said they had the exact same thing but was a different brand name.

Just ignore my last post. I was running out the door and wanted to type it real fast and typed the wrong thing. I finally got the CYA down from when I first opened the pool a few weeks ago. Believe it or not I did have to raise it... which I will not check for a few more days. My kids have...

I am having trouble with a CYA. The black dot just doesn't disappear. I am adding muriatic acid according to the chart. My question is... how long after adding the muriatic acid (liquid) do I need to wait until I check my levels again? Also, since I am adding liquid form how long do I have...

Finally.... and thank you mom for replying!! I will take care of the CH tomorrow.

Test results: FC 11.5 CC .5 PH 7.4 Alk 120 CH 130 I know that I am close. The pool looks great!! Should I continue to shock to lower the CC or is it ok as is? I have a fiberglass pool so I know I have to do something about the CH and I need to raise the PH. Should I continue with the shock...

Yeah well I hope so because if not I'm going to have to fly you up here to get things straightened out for me.... ha ha

Thanks Paul!!! And by the way........ your water testing instructions were a big help!!!!

There you are Paul!! That is what I thought about the FC and why I was so confused this morning. I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes after adding the last dose of bleach to do the test. I tested twice last night and 3 times this am with the same results. I just don't get it. What do you suggest...
