Ok I’ll make sure to do this tonight! Thank you!!!!

Hi guys! Thanks for all the feedback! So last night chlorine was a 5 after swimming. Added the pool math recommendations to get to a 7 and went to bed. Got up this morning tested chlorine..still a 5. Added more to get back up to a 7. Will retest this afternoon. Is it possible for it to go that...

Ok thank you!! I’ll go ahead and throw some in there to get my FC on the high end and then tonight I’ll remember to do that for tomorrow! Thank you so much!!!

Ok. I’ve been doing that the past 2 evenings and the next morning I’m right on target. I just wasn’t sure if I needed to be at the higher end of my target or is in the middle ok since I know it will lower through the day. If that makes sense. According to the CYA chart im where I need to be but...

Ok one last question!! Sorry just trying to get everything right..so my CYA is 40 and my FC is 5.5. Do I need to go ahead and add more since I know the sun will lower the FC throughout the day? Should I be adding more at night then the pool math app recommends so that I make it through the...

Thank you so much! Have a great day!! Woohoo!

Good morning people!!! So my numbers are all awesome! The only thing that’s high is my TA 110 but my pH is 7.5. If I lower the pH it will bring my TA down but won’t my pH be too low??

I wanted to thank everyone for the encouraging words! I think I finally understand pool math! All levels were perfect today! Finally got pH stable as well!! Woohoo! The only thing I had to do tonight was add bleach to get my FC up! So I think we are headed in the right direction!!! Yay!

Thank you so much!!!! You are giving me hope! I almost gave up today and went to the pool store! But I’m staying strong!!!!

No wonder my eyes and my kids eyes are blood red! Lol! I can’t thank you enough! You deserve an award for helping me so much today! I have 4 kids and I’ve been almost in tears so stressed out because I’m trying so hard and just messing up!

I can’t believe I did that! Wow! Thank you so much! So I should add more bleach tonight and then be ok tomorrow?? So in pool math app I would put I have 1.5 and then add enough to get to the cya chart? I plan to add more cya tonight too so would I use my target CYA or the cya I currently have?

I must have done the math wrong. Oh no!!! Gosh I should have posted here first before I did that. I’ve been fighting it so hard ever since. I keep adding the acid and nothing happens. Maybe my acid is just not a good kind. Probably won’t be buying that brand again. So if I raise my CYA to 40...

Ok I added 8 cups of chlorine today. Right after I talked to you. Just checked my results again and chlorine still dropping. I have put In a lot of muriatic acid too. I’m thinking possibly 8 cups and I’m still at 8.2!! My PH won’t budge!!! Am I doing something wrong? The whole reason it’s so...

Ok I’m on it!!! Thank you!!!

Yes it does. I will attach a picture of the label. I wanted to ask one more thing. My FC is low according to the CYA chart. Do I go ahead and and the bleach even though it’s sunny and hot? Or do I wait until tonight. I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions. I’m really trying to understand but I’m...
