2 months ago, I noticed a leak of 2.5 inches per day so I called a leak detection company. They 1) pressurized all my pipes (passed) 2) conducted dye test on all jets around side of pool and skimmer basket (passed) and 3) used a microphone type device to listen for a leak at side jets and main...

Do you have a liquid chlorinator as well or just pour manually?

I'm not, thanks.

I'm using the rest of Varify test strips and then will be using TFPs test kit once I use them all. @crusemm

I know my Cya is at 55 as of last week. Sorry, I'm not home and cant post a pic of my readings @crusemm

Yes, I have a test kit and my chlorine levels are always low which leads me to shocking the pool once a week @crusemm I live in Sacramento so it's been in the 80s every day for a few weeks now

Somewhat new pool owner here and I've noticed my chlorine tablets aren't dissolving. I haven't had to put any new pucks in there for over a month, maybe 2. This is what I've done so far to troubleshoot: -Made sure the dial is at max flow (5) -Took off lid and started pump to make sure water...

haha funny memory nonethess, its slowly going down. Thanks again

also, this is my test from right before the baking soda detergent was put in.

Thank you! Yes, it is from a pool store. I have a 25k gallon pool. So just to be sure, you're saying to throw cyanuric acid in to get it to 40 and then throw shock in?

Thanks for the response @JJ_Tex You think I should throw shock in too? I plan on running pump for 24 hours. My latest results from pool store were 2 weeks ago after i filled pool are below. However, we've had tons of rain since then so my pH was at about 7 this AM, hence why i was going to...
