okay but isn't there a way to dilute and multiply? I guess that is what I should have asked

My chlorine levels are off the charts because I slammed the pool and was wondering how to check the chlorine since it is reading above 10? My water is cloudy atm but I think I am on the right track now due to gray sand looking debris at the bottom of my pool that I vacuumed out yesterday. I...

My swg would not keep up. my cya was low so I added it to the pool and now it is at 150. was wondering about the dangers of this and I am still loosing chlorine :( I added shock about a week ago and was getting a reading of over 10 on total chlorine and 10 on fc. Today's test showed 4 on TC...

My salt water system just will not keep up and I have to add chlorine weekly. I am at about 50 on cya which is a little low I know but still seems I should be able to keep up. I even returned my old swg for a new one thinking it was defective but new one is the same. I keep the pool spotless...

how do I get a CYA reading? just bought new strips. using Clorox pool and spa.

First of all I am a total noob at this so please forgive me if I ask something stupid or ask for further clarification. My pool is starting to feel slimy. Here are my readings: FCC .5 PH 6.8 TA 80 CH 25 Just got a low salt light so I imagine that is one part of it. I am cleaning the cell in...
