I'm sure there is a post related to this somewhere. How much chlorine loss should I expect on 11 hours full sunlight. Numbers are FC 2.5, CC 0, TC 2.5. PH 7.7, TA 90 and CYA 25-30. These were measured late this evening after topping off Chlorine 24 hours earlier and having the full sun today.

I can't believe the walls/concrete have moved so much! I do decorative concrete work and I'm not sure backer rod would close up the gap between the wall and the concrete.

Congrats on your first successful BBB season! Only thing I don't see is ph? If around 7.4-7.6 you should be good. Other thing you may want to do which is suggested in pool school is add startup dose of polyquat. Bring to shock level then let settle back toward normal chlorine level and close her...

What does it mean if I get no color change when adding 1 heaping spoon of 870 powder, then two. No change to pink. This has happened only this last test. Previous test 3 days ago showed up fine. FC, CC, TC ? PH 7.8 TA 100 CYA 40

If I do another one this evening should I raise my chlorine any before beginning the test?

Did and no significant loss.

Hope this finds all well as we begin the summer! Opened my pool Memorial Day which was about 4 weeks behind where I usually am, but to the point; 1) opened normally everything looking good, fair numbers for start-up but being behind my schedule a little algea. 2) took about a week to look great...

Visit this link www.elitecrete.com I think you will find your answer there.

Thanks for the replies. The water feature stands along the side of the pool and and pulls water from the two drains plumbed in the bottom and rises about 4 foot above the surface dropping back into the pool. Don' t know the turnover rate but assume it's pretty high. The current test results are...

Didn't know where to put this and apologize if in wrong spot. It's been really hot here the past month and pool water is about to get to the to warm to enjoy temp. I have run the pump continuously for the past 2 months and only occasionally turn on the pump to the water feature. The ? I have is...

Just wanted to say thanks to all the admins and users who helped with my recent problem. After finally taking the time to review all the sight, BTW, for those who haven' done that you will learn so much, I have solved my chemistry problem and the pool looks better than it has all season! I would...

Ok, double checked CYA and is 50-55. Added enough cal hypo to raise FC to 16 according to CYA chart. Will test chlorine again in 6 hours. Anyone have other suggestions?

On Monday June 28 tested using TFT Test Kit and got the following readings; 0 FC .5 TC .5 CC 95 TA 7.6 PH 108 CH 40 CYA Just to verify took sample to pool store and my readings and Pool Store were right in-line except for CYA they showed 19. AT their suggestion I added 3 lbs of stabilizer...
