Thanks. I put more acid last night and numbers this morning are looking pretty good. I have a vinyl pool so I believe the CH is correct at 0. I put in the 10 drops of R-10 and 3 drops of R-11L and the water turned blue, never turned red or any other shade so, according to that I should have 0...

Thanks. My numbers this morning were: pH = 7.5 FC = 2.5 CC = 0 TA = 175 CYA = 30 CH = 0 I put in 64 oz of bleach and 60 oz of stabilizer this morning about 9:00 am to try to get FC and CYA up. From what you are saying I maybe should have just left CYA alone. Now at 6:00 pm my numbers...

According to pool math I should add 77 oz of 10% bleach and 59 oz of liquid stabilizer and 73 oz of liquid acid to get my levels where they should be. I will add the stabilizer and bleach, wait about 30 minutes and add the acid. I will take reading again in the morning to see what that does...

Yes, I did test the water before adding anything and have had it tested before by the pool store too, and have taken that into consideration. The dog wasn't mine; not sure who he belonged to or where he came from. We think he went after a stray cat that sleeps on my deck and he must have hit...

Thanks, Nursenini, I do use Pool Math and yes, it does help to know the amounts to put in. I am adding stabilizer and bleach slowly and the numbers have improved. The pH and TA are still high but I bought some acid today and will put in amount suggested by Pool Math calculator.

Thanks. I will have to run and get some acid or pH reducer as I have none on hand. And I will be sure to wait about 30 minutes or more between adding the bleach and the acid. Appreciate your help.

Hi, I fortunately have not had to get on the forum in a long time because everything in my pool has been great since I finally figured out the Trouble Free Bleach method. But recently we had a large pitbull dog drown in our pool and had to empty it out and scrub down with bleach. I have now...

I leave my pump running 24/7 the last 2 years, summer and winter. I use a robotic vacuum every other day or so to keep dirt off the bottom and picking up leaves. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Yep, same in Louisiana. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

I haven't been able to find any except for day 71 at 2 different Wal-Mart's. Hopefully they will be getting fresher stuff in; for right now I am ok with able 10 gallons of the day 71 on hand. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

All I found at Walmart LA. is 071 also. They were showing price as regular $3.94 but rollback price of $2.50 now. Hope they restock but they seemed to have a lot of stock in 2 different stores that I went to.

I am exactly the same way with all the tests. I want every test to show the exact number, not a range or shade. I also have difficulty telling how dark the yellow and orange shades are. I find it looks different shades when I hold up against the outside light as opposed to inside against a sheet...

I'm keeping an eye on it daily and will see how it goes. You may be right but I know the chlorine seems to be holding so not sure yet. Thanks. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Water looks good - was a little on the cloudy side but seems to be clearing more and more. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
