after following the method here i have my pool back in shape. My cya level is still a little high at 100, but following the cya to fc rule my pool is looking great. Thanks for all the help Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Big difference in 115v to 240v is that the 115v uses a neutral and the 240, actually 220 does not use a neutral. Sounds like your wiring in the pump is incorrect and causing the gfci to trip. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Will dropping the ph help, or should i wait till i stop slamming the pool? Thanks for the help Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Thank you,,it did, i did the dilution as it shows,, came out to 60,, did the test straight up and it came in a little over the 100 mark.. Dang i drained the pool twice down to 1/4 full and refilled trying to dilute the cya. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Ok after the 2nd drain and refill, the water came in at: PH= 8.2 FC= 25 (using 5ml sample method) CC= 0 CH= 400 TA= 120 CYA= 80-90 The pool finished filling last night and after these readings I added 3 gallons of 10% bleach to bring the FC up to shock level. This morning I took readings and got...

I have another question about the CYA test. I hold the tube down at waist level, look down the tube and add the solution. It is pretty subjective on when you can not see the dot anymore. I find myself guessing a lot when it gets close and I feel like I can see a slight image for a while and...

Great thanks! I'll do the 5ml test.

Thanks,, I'm hoping the cya comes in good after this refill. The pool store had previously had me add a whole bottle of stabilizer and i think it went really high. Probably why i was having so many problems,, after reading here a lot of thinks made sense. I tested the hose water, for practice...

I'm new to using this test kit, and have a question about the color change on the chlorine test. I did the test about 6 times and had investing test results. Fc from 18 to 26. These results seemed to settle out around 22 when i mixed in-between each drop addition. I was adding like 5 to 10...

I'm guessing that i didn't drain enough water the first time when the cya was reading of the charts. I think i got about 5/8 of the water out last time, so i started draining some more, got about half out last night and the pool currently filling back up. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Thanks, will do, kit is almost here :D

I'm new to the site and did a bit of reading before this post. Currently I'm waiting for the TF-100 kit, should be here in 2-3 days now. My pool is a large pool 38K gallons and is painted with an epoxy paint over a fiberglass/plaster mix. Using a suction side kreepy crawler style cleaner...
