    Very cool! I will do as suggested. Now I just need to work on the alkalinity but it seems like it is improving over time. Not sure what is doing it? The breezey days? (aeration). I just had a couple of questions. 1. In filling the pool with more water, I am figuring I need more...

    I just realized I wasn't very specific with my post. This past night I had 0 FC loss. I tested twice to make sure because I was a bit shocked. But what bothers me is I still have a very slight CC. < 0.5 CC. I guess I should test again tonight to validate anyway. And if it tests out ok...

    What a great site! The breath of knowledge can be daunting at times. It's perfect for people who love soaking up knowledge! First off here are my results after getting comfortable with the TF100. I shocked the pool based a preliminary results since the CC was at 1.0 prior. FC = 10 CC = 0.5...
