This started yesterday after we backwashed the DE filter. Has never happened before. Any ideas on cause? I have a video I will try to attach

Test kit added to signature. I plan on doing the drain and exchange once it cools down in September hopefully

I will look into this option !

I will have to test my fill water. We are using straight tap water bypassing our whole house softener

Can you explain the benefit to lowering CYA? Will it mainly keep my water more balanced so I don’t have to keep adding liquid chlorine or muriatic acid as often. From July 14 to today, I’ve gone thru 4 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine fro Walmart. About $25 worth… and almost 1 gallon of Muriatic...

I am about a month in to using the Taylor kit and testing my own water. We used the Costco chlorine tablets for probably 3 or more years with other brands before that. New to liquid chlorine. I’ve had great success with getting algae out of pool and stabilizing my water. Testing every 2 days...

We are now about 3 weeks into using pool math and liquid chlorine after a couple of years of just plunking a few tabs in… well our pool has never looked better! All traces of the algae is gone! We didn’t need to even slam… we are still working on getting PH down. And CYA still high.. hoping...

I did take it just because I’m a little ocd and my store does the testing using all of the same Taylor reagents. I was encouraged as they showed lower cya at 120 in lieu of the 140 from last week. At least the trends match my results even if the numbers are not exactly the same. I guess I...

we attempted to lower CYA but using hose was not efficient; hardly any water was coming out. would take like 5 days to do the exchange so we lowered to skimmer level for now and will keep trying to dilute weekly with using the waste feature on our filter. We may rent a pump in the fall as seems...

I’m being pulled back to college chemistry class with ml and meniscus in a test tube 😝😝😝

And ive used almost my entire first bottle of reagent Kit came with 2

Retested with the 3rd dilution so 7 ml of pool and 14 ml of tap. Redid test and this time it is roughly 42 or 126. So I am going with that result. Also used my pure tap water instead of my “soft” water in the house
