Thank you! I’ll do that right away. 😀

Hi there! I have a 26,000 gal saltwater vinyl pool. Hayward pump with a sand filter. Pentair salt generator. My pool has been crystal clear all winter. Started trying to balance chemicals now that it’s warming up and it stayed pretty clear for about a week. Now it’s getting cloudy. Still a lot...

do I turn off the swg while slamming? Also, I have a built in ladder. I don’t believe I can remove it.

We still can’t get rid of algae. Brush and vacuum, backwash,etc. here are my current numbers: FC 10 CC .5 CH 225 TA 70 CYA 40 Ph 8.2 Salt 3600 we want to close and cover pool but need to get it straightened out. What should we do and in what order?

Thank you both!!

Hi everyone. Here are my numbers. FC 10 TC 10. CH 250. TA 70. CYA 50. PH 8.2 (or more). Salt 3600. I know I need muriatic acid to lower the ph, but what about the other numbers? Is FC too high?

I brushed this past weekend. I do have the app so I’ll try to lower the ph We have a cooling tower that we use to cool down the water. We cleaned it really well with bleach water but it is open around The bottom so I guess crud could be getting in.

Thanks! I’ll try that!

Hi! Still getting used to testing on my own. Using a t100 kit. Here are the numbers from just now: FC 8.5 CC 0 TA 70 CYA 40 (still not sure if I’m reading this one accurately) Ph 8 Salt 4000 1. Salt is high but the computer shows 3300. Should I calibrate it to match my test numbers? 2. SWG...

i believe we added some packets from the pool store maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Haven’t added any yet. You are referring to cyanuric acid?

Hi. Fairly new to this forum and have only been self testing for a few weeks. Tf100 test kit. Here are my numbers: FC 4.5 CC 0.5 TC 5 TA 70 CYA 20 although I am least confident of this test Chlorine 5 Bromine 10 PH 7.8 Salt 3800 hardness 400 The salt is a little high and the CYA a...

Also for the TA test It says to add the final regent until the water turns red. Do they mean pink? Or should it actually get fully red?

Hi. My cya level is zero if I am doing the test correctly. I’ve only had the tf100 test kit a couple days and both times I did it I could still see the black dot after all of the mixture was in the tube. A little hazy but still clearly there. 3 days ago the pool store said it was 40. We haven’t...

So after adding 121 ozs of bleach my chlorine is now at 5. However my ph is now 8.2. (Used my new tf 100 test kit). Pool is crystal clear. Is it safe to swim?
