Sorry for the delay - I went to lunch. My pool is still clear, both before and after I added the bleach. I must have been imagining the green tint because I don't see it anymore. Husband said he never saw it. What is the recommended FC level for swimming? And by swimming I mean floating or...

The water actually looks clear. I swear it looked a little green the past few days, my husband said he didn't see it but I swear I did. Last night (before I added the bleach) it looked much clearer. Also, I don't mean that there is an overwhelming smell of chlorine, it just smells like a...

They did not specify the chlorine between FC or CC, only said chlorine was 0. They did test for CYA and said it was 0. After adding bleach and baking soda, I will not be able to test my water at the store until Friday, can I (please) swim on Thursday ?? Also, on a side note, is this normal to...

Okay I am ordering the TF-100 today but I'm sure it will be next week before it comes in, so no OCLT test for me anytime soon. For the time being, I will assume CYA is present so tonight I will had (per the pool calculator) the following: 1. 65oz / 2 qts 6% bleach 2. 98oz / 6lbs of regular arm...

I don't think she necessarily stated I don't have algae because it is acidic, she just asked if it was still green and I said no and then she said I probably don't have algae..I have been squeezing the sock at least 2 times per day. It was a long tube sock full of CYA and it's almost gone now...

Okay - got my results from the pool store. They said my water was very acidic so I don't have algae. My chlorine level is 0 ! CYA level is 0 ! 3200 for salt PH 7 Alkalinity is 40 I put in 3qt of 6% bleach last night. I have a sock with approximately 2lbs of CYA still dissolving (put in Sunday...

How to add bleach I asked on my previous question (under just getting started) but never got a response. I will be adding 2 qts of bleach to my pool tonight..do I need to leave the pump and SWG on or turn them both off? My system is set to run for 8 and 6 hours, respectively, starting at...

Okay, the pool store was a bust. I didn't know the water had to be 2 hours of less, I've had it with me since I left for work this morning (about 4 hours). Anyway, they gave me something to fill up and I can drop it off in the morning. Now, I did go and purchase a 3qt jug of Clorox Bleach (it...

I am in Southeast Texas - Beaumont area. About 90 miles east of Houston. I live very close to the LA border and the coast! You live in TX?

Woohoo, you guys are awesome!! :) Okay, so put in 64 oz of regular unscented bleach, like Clorox regular bleach (not concentrated right?). Then check my FC levels from there? Or do you recommend doing the OCLT test first? I do plan on purchasing the TF-100, have already found and bookmarked the...

Thank you so much for your reply! My husband said he did all the hard work getting the pool up and it's my job to get the water right, so of course with my slight case of OCD I have been worrying about this night and day!! I did add I think 2 cups of bleach before we turned on the SWG because I...

Okay we just bought our very first pool ever...22x52 abg Intex ultra frame pool. We also bought the Intex SWG and used the filter pump that came with the pool (we plan to change this in the future but for start up we used what came with it). I know I did this backwards and so I'm hoping you...
