Ok awesome thank you!!

Oops sorry I have the Taylor K-2006 test kit! Can I add the bleach and CYA at the same time or do I need to do 1 before the other? Thank you

I just filled my pool and my test results are: FC-0 CC-0 pH- 7.2 TA- 250 CA-250 CYA-0 Which chemicals do I add first? Do I need to add the Muriatic Acid to lower the TA and then adjust my pH and then add my CYA and then chlorine or what order should I add chemicals to get everything where it...

That's just it I can't enter a current result for my ph if I dont know what it is as its reading below the 7.0 color it is very yellow!! I followed the Taylor book instructions for lowering my TA as it was pushing 200! I added about 2- 2.5qts of MA - - - Updated - - - My pH kept climbing to...

I used muriatic acid to lower my TA and now my pH is reading below 7.0 it is yellow! How do I know hoe much borax to use if I dont know the actual pH reading? Test results: CYA 30 FC 4 CC 0 TA 110 - - - Updated - - - I followed the test kitsch instructions and it took 20 drops of R-006 to get...

I just saw that thank you! I believe I successfully slammed my pool and finally have control of it!

I slammed last night and got my chlorine to 19 at 6am this morning my levels were still at 18.9 and cc was .2 just retested and FC is 14.5 and cc is 0 and my pool is clear am I officially done with the slamming process and I just let my chlorine level fall now?

Results are: FC-8 CC-.5 pH-7.6 TA- 180 light red color 190 obvious red CH-270 CYA- 30-35 the dot disappeared a little before reaching 30

Also just wanted to let everyone know I realized when I was brushing my pool before I was not turning the pump on until I was done....I have now been turning the pump on and letting it run 30min and then going out and brushing, vacuuming and then letting the pump run for a few hours afterwards...

Just wanted to check I have been brushing and vacuuming the pool and since switching to bleach and adding 1/3 of the jug a night my pool is already so much cleaner and clear I'm shocked.....anyway I'm still using these test strips until my kit comes just to see and my FC is 3 and my TC is 5, is...

ok thank you so much! As soon as i get my test kit in the mail hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday i will post new results and go from there!

According to these test strips my TA is already high at 180 so i wouldn't want to add baking soda at all right?

I was in my pool again today and put my kids goggles on to go down under and get a good look at the stuff on the bottom of the pool and i slowly put my fingers over it to see if i could feel a texture and i am almost positive it is indeed sand that has just sunk to the bottom and my vacuum just...
