Here are today's results: FC 19.50, CC .05, PH 7.5, TA 170 (we've been aerating to bring it down), CYA 50, CH 210, Iron 0 and Copper 0.3. The pool is orangey stained but crystal clear and today I sprinkled just a tad bit of AA in the 4 man spa (combination pool spa) just to see if the water was...

nevermind on the vials...read to soak them in bleach. Just need a reply to the test this morning, didn't add any clorine last night due to high FC level. Pool uncovered right now, appears to be crystal clean but the walls are stained from the well water, deep end looks green and spa is orangey...

6:30 am FC climbed abit to 27 and CC 1. took the test 2X. How do you clean the vials? There's black dots in the vial that don't clean out with dish washing liquid

:confused: Gosh, now my CYA is 40, FC 25 and CC 1. Didn't add any Bleach and wasn't planning on shocking for mustard algae which is what my tests prove right now. Getting frustrated, it's been a long week. I am pretty sure this is correct now for I carefully took tests several times to insure I...

O, now I understand. I'll do this right now, add if I need to based on my cya and check it again in 20 minutes and then check it again in the morning. I didn't know about the 20 minutes afterwards....also didn't know about the crystal clear...hard to tell with mesh cover but will do something...

I'm confused...I realize my CYA decreased by 10 basis points and not really sure why. Sometimes the light strains my eyes when looking into the vial as well as counting those drops without any interruptions on the SpeedStir. Am I to start over for I thought if the FC level stayed without...

OCLT test passed this morning. Results are FC 25 (last night was 23 and added CL to top off before retiring), CC .50, PH 7.5, TA 210 (high!) CH 200, CYA 50 (not sure why this lowered ?), water looks pretty good but not sparkling even though I do have mesh cover on to keep leaves off which does...

Oh yes, I use ascorbic acid and it works almost immediately but I constantly battle with this staining. My heater is only 3 1/2 yrs old. On the last AA a return broke and the water emptied out over night. Couldn't filter or bring the CL back up again so I ended up with this mess while waiting...

Received my iron tester today. Here are my results today, CYA 60, FC 24, CC 1, PH 7.5, TA 210 blue shifts to light yellow, CH 230 and after testing 2x the iron tested 0ppm. Waiting on Copper tester for TFP's stock was out. Water looks better today than the last few days; big change from...

how do i know that this is caused from minerals and it's not algae? My well water that I used to fill the pool back up is full of minerals. Iron & Copper. I bought a copper/iron test from TFP and waiting on the kits. Results: FC 23, CC 1, TA 220, CH 200, CYA 60, PH 7.5, Color Coffee! Waiting...

No SWG is off. Will turn on when I get myself out of this mess. Also, all the cutting away on the cement to fix the leaky return would that have screwed up the alkalinity? Filter Filter Filter. When the pool was turned off while waiting for the repair is how I got myself in this mess. I'll...

My husband just asked if he put 2 bags of salt in the pool would that have made the pool go crazy during the slam? Oh my! I forgot that I told him to do that.

Thanks for your reply. My PH is 7.2. and I added MA yesterday. Didn't add today for the PH shouldn't go less then 7 right? I know that my shock level is 24 and trying to reach it. I just put another 128 oz of 8.25% bleach per math to try to reach the SL of 24. I do know to check the...

Jason, I have been slamming for over a day now. I have bought out the dollar stores on the bleach and am tired.... My water is a dark green in deep end almost brown near the top. I have gone thru 12 bottles bleach. We have well water here but the whole pool did not need to be refilled. Never...

Things have changed abit...PH 7.2*TA 220*CYA 30*CH 150 (turns to purple not blue) and calcium is present*.50 FC*.50 CC*1.00 TC...I am running pump continuously, the rayner cover is still on & using the new calculator method. I am going to add 6 oz of 10% clorine before retiring. It just rained...
