No, I don’t have anyone to help dose. My husband and I both work. I’m off on the weekend though. I am supposed to have family come swim on Memorial Day but, gonna have to cancel that. So, I will be home for 3 days, this weekend. But, you see, I have already spent $100 dollars in pool bleach, not...

I work, so I can’t be here to check the levels every couple of hours. I thought I read in SLAM that “ at the very least, check a couple times a day.” I can’t check every couple hours and wished I would’ve known that before I bought the kit. Not sure how to move forward, if I have my FC at 12 in...

Ok, thank you! I redone the test because I couldn’t believe my eyes. Even went and got another sample from a different part of the pool.

I used 10% pool bleach from Wal-Mart

One gallon

Please help!!! I got my FC up to 12 last night and when I woke up it was 8.5, I’m still in slam mode so I expect this. But, just got home from work and tested and my FC is 1.5.... I want to just cry. I have bought at least 20 bottles of bleach, borax and this TF100 kit. I have been very vigilant...

I’m getting so close, lol. Water is still cloudy. Hoping it clears soon. Here are my numbers: CYA 30 pH 7.2 FC 11.5 CC 1.5 last night my fc was 7, this morning 4.5. Got it back up to 11.5 this afternoon ...now striving for 12!

Thank you for all of your responses. A few more questions, lol. To get my pH up, you add borax, right? How much do I add and how long does it take to change the pH? Then do I wait until the pH is up to add the rest of the bleach to reach slam level or add it at the same time? Oh, also want to...

I really hope it turns out ok because at this point I’m ready to drain it and start over. I feel like the bleach level will be too high to swim in over the weekend. I’ve been working on it for 8 days already. I really thought if I invested the money for the test kit, that it would be fairly easy...

Ok, I’m starting to get overwhelmed here.... my water is still cloudy. Here are my levels. FC 7ppm CC 1.5 CH 50 TA 110 CYA 30 pH 6.8 I know I need to get my pH up and get my FC up to 10 but beyond that, I’m lost. Am I on track or am I way off? Any info is greatly appreciated. I’m supposed to...

Hello, I received my TF-100 kit today. I should mention that I didn’t put a pool cover on this year and yikes! It was bad. Totally dark green. I have been putting the pool bleach from Wal-Mart, (2) in every day for the last four days (except today) the pool is blue/cloudy now. Here are my...

Thank you!

Can someone kindly give me their opinion on which TF-100 test kit bundle is the best for the money? I don’t want a bunch of extra’s. But, if I need it, that’s different. I have a 27ft above ground pool. Not salt water.I’m new to this, so any help is really appreciated. Thank you!
