I did edit it. I was having trouble adding the picture. The first time the link did not work. Not sure about the CYA #, but I think the first time the picture was right under the numbers and maybe when I deleted the bad link I accidently deleted the CYA too. So that could have been how it was...

It is true that last time it was green it was clear and green and I forgot that until I was reading your response Pooldv. However I am confused maybe I am reading the CYA chart wrong and the Pool Math calculator. I thought the minimum for me not to go below was 2, and that I keep the FC...

Pool is green again after days of rain.:( My numbers are: FC 2.5 CC 0 pH 8 TA 175 CH 125 CYA 30 We have added bleach, will add acid and focus on lowering pH. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0CZNmbRw4btWFV

Thanks again. The learning curve is steep and I feel like a mad pool chemist. However I think I was getting confident until the pool turned green after the rain. This method does work well, I just wish I understood it all, but I think you are right the more we do the more understanding I will...

We added more CYA, since our level was 20-30, so I can test next week.

OK I appreciate all the advice. I have not added any more acid, the pool had a green hue yesterday, but is clear and blue today. Results FC 2.5 CC 0.5 pH 7.6 TA 200 CH 175 I guess my question is the Pool Math Chart I have only changed the FC target when slamming to find out how much to...

Thanks so much. I will find out about getting our well water tested. Just now: FC 3 CC 0 pH 7.4 TA 225 Will add muriatic acid. Michelle

OK appreciate the advice. Read up on TA some more too. I will retest pH and TA and see where we are. I understand to lower pH to 7.0 with acid, leave the filter on to aerate the pool, which will bring the pH up but not the TA, If TA still not down, then add more acid to lower pH, aerate the...

There is a dull greenish hue, better than last night. Just had a thought we do add water to our pool when it needs it and we are on a well. Last year the pool was filled with pool water, but when the level starts to get low we fill it from the hose. It is not too often, but maybe that is...

Thanks we added more and now we are at 7.2!:cool:

OK Thanks for the advice. Yesterday evening pool was green and I would say it was bright green, today pool is less green maybe there is a green tinge but there is blue too, still clear, we added Muriatic acid this morning. Reading now is FC 3.5 CC 0 pH 8 Can I add more acid today? Is it...

At the beginning of the season, when our pool was black green, my husband went to the pool store. He had talked to some friends at work with pools and was going to get it ready for the season. He did put powdered chlorine and 96oz of liquid algaecide. We don't have a pool heater and don't...

Help! We came home today and pool water was light green, it is still clear and you can see the bottom of the pool easily. We have had great numbers all week and crystal clear water. Kids and adults have been swimming everyday this week. It rained last night and today. Tonight numbers are FC...

I just want to hopefully share a picture of our crystal clear pool water. We are enjoying our pool this year so much thanks to the information on this site, advice from users on this site, and daily testing of our pool with adjustments made as needed. The other big help Junior, our pool...
