How much does it usually cost to get that stuff repaired?

Why not just leave it open some tomorrow so the sun can break down the FC? Or also add some more water to dilute? It seems to me like it could get back to normal levels in a week or so

I usually have to add 3/4 to 1 cup of 6% bleach/day in order to keep my tub over 3 ppm FC. Yea I added a lot, but my tub usually eats up a good bit. IDK why. I keep everything in check for the most part and test daily. What do you think I damaged specifically? It seems to be functioning normally.

300 gallon hottub. The standard large Great Value jug from walmart. I just did the full on tf100 test with the powder and drops and it never even turned pink when I put in the powder which it states indicates zero chlorine lol. I have had slight issues with the accuracy of the tf100 chlorine...

Just got home from 7 day vacation. Pool tested fine. Hottub drop test turns red as soon as I put yellow drops in. Invert it and then becomes yellow with red chunks in it. Anyone with any clue what this is? I've never seen it before. I put an entire jug of bleach in it before I left which is a...

Good morning. I'm in a bit of a bind as I'm opening a new hot tub and need to test PH regularly, but have run out of phenol red reagent for PH. Normally I would order my replacements from this site, but I need them in a hurry. My local pool store only sells bio guard products so they have the...

Had my pool replastered three weeks ago. Sequestrant was added. TA and CH was low until I bumped them to 70 and 275 respectively yesterday. PH is 7.5, FC is 5, and CYA is 20. I've had a variety of markings, stains, and other blemishes appear over these last 3 weeks. I thought getting the CH and...

I brought the CH up to 275 yesterday and then brought the TA up to 70 last night. Today there are a bunch of new brown spots on the bench in the deep end and a few others elsewhere. lol. Edit: here are pics Imgur: The magic of the Internet

I asked him like a week ago and he said it was all normal and would go away after a while. Wednesday, I texted him some pictures and more detail and he just never responded.

Good afternoon everyone. I use the TF100 test kit and have been using the TA test lately and need some clarification. The instructions say that you count the drops until the water turns "red". Mine never turns red. It turns light pink when it first turns and then if I add another drop it turns...

TA is 20 this morning. I'm going to go ahead and add 8 pounds of baking soda and go from there. The CH is now at 200 and I just added another 5 pounds of CH increaser to bring it to 250-300. The first week of the new plaster I added a lot of MA and it made the PH reading yellow (I was guessing...

Does it still make sense to add sequestrant when your water has low CH? Just looking back and thinking about it... seems like the sequestrant could make the problem worse if your water already has low CH.

I have several more photos to share but this forum keeps giving me an error message even after I resized them repeatedly. Essentially other than the ones you've seen above, there are also some small streaky light rust colored spots. One of the more concerning spots is probably the size of...
