Thank you very much!! As soon as the cyanuric acid arrives I will dissolve 3 kg and then pour 6.3 liters of bleach. Then I need to find out a good setting for SWCG so the level of free chlorine will be maintained. Probably a lot of measuring.

Thank you! I ordered their FTK -126 test kit and hope for reasonable results until I get a better kit. A burning question remains: how may bottles of bleach should I pour in the pool to get 5ppm free chlorine? The label says 35 grams active chlorine per liter when the bottle left the factory. 1...

I'm looking for the Taylor k-2006C kit which contains more reagents. Because the small Taylor kit is already a whopping 212 Euros, I might as well import from the USA and pay UPS 130$ for delivery. Too expensive in my opinion.

:p That explains the difference. I ordered cyanuric acid yesterday and calculated I needed 3 kg for a pool of 44m3 to raised CYA from zero to 70ppm, so I was surprised that you would need more. In Spain, cyanuric acid is much cheaper...

Really? 1 ppm = 1 milligram per kilogram = 1 gram per m3 So if you want CYA=60 in a 36 m3 pool, you would need 60 x 36 = 2.16 kg

(I don't know whether I should start a new thread, but I have the same situation as the OP) My salt water pool is now running for one week. Still crystal clear but I guess not for long. The company has put too much salt in it. My pool is about 12 kGallon. They put 250 kg of salt instead of...
