Ok! I had only raised to 14 since my CYA was at 30 or less yesterday before I added that sock with more CYA! I will follow your instructions and report back thanks!

So I slammed the pool raising FC to 14.5 yesterday and did the overnight test last night. FC went from 14.5 to 13.5, but CC is still at 0.5 CYA is at 50 since I tied a sock with some CYA powder at the jet. CH: 180 Alkalinity: 150 PH: 7.8 Water is clearer but still blue-ish and not...

Sorry I haven't responded to those helpful answers! Nothing came of the copper issue really. I didn't really have a way to determine if the reading the store gave me was correct, I just don't really trust pool stores! No clue as to how it got in the water either, we did fill the rest of the...

Thank you! I thought I was going to have to SLAM, it's been a while since messing with a pool, so bear with me:) Thanks again!

Hi! I just tested my saltwater pool with the Complete FAS-DPD chlorine Taylor Kit and these are the results, water is still cloudy: CH: 200 Alkalinity: 130 PH: 7.4 FC: 0.5 ppm CC: 1.0 ppm CYA: less than 30 I'm still confused about the chlorine levels and should CYA be higher. I live in...

Hi! I just opened my pool and did the first water check. I have most all the chemicals figured out but the copper tested at 2.0. The pool store suggested I buy the CULater 4.0 which is $85 and I said I would wait on that since I wanted to check here and see if anyone can give me any insight...

Good morning! I have finally tested all my levels and they are as follow: pH: 7.2 FC: 10 (Maybe because I added a gallon of liquid chlorine early this morning since there was a dead mole in the pump) CC: 0.5 TA:120 CH: 180 CYA: 55 TDS: 4,800 Are these levels ok or do I need to adjust...

We ended up deciding to stick with our SWCG so we had it repaired and it now seems to be working. Thanks so much for your input!

Hi! When I tested the CYA yesterday I actually stared into it (I did not know I should't stare directly into it) So when I tested today I just glanced at it and could still see the dot. So I will add enough stabilizer today to bring it up to 30. FC is at 4.5 today (yesterday was at 5) and CC...

I do have a Taylor kit I purchased from TFP, so that's a great idea thank you! I had ordered some reagent but it arrives on the 25th and I can't wait that long. I will buy and test today and get back with the CYA level. Thanks again for your response! *Update: I got some CYA reagent and tested...

Hello, I would greatly appreciate some insight on why I'm not able to clear my pool, water is cloudy. I tested all of the chemical levels except for CYA since I ran out of the reagent, and I am tempted to go the pool store for a water reading but I know how that will end up, me buying a bunch...

Hi All, I am having trouble with my chlorinator (control panel issues). We got a new chlorinator about 3 years ago and already having issues and are wondering now, do we spend another $500-600 to fix the panel or simply change the entire santitation system to something that is more cost...

Yes, so are we at home! I wish I knew more about electric things but I don't know much, but will surely try! Thanks again!

That's what I'm thinking, I just don't want to call a tech that will charge $150 an hour to come look at it before I try and resolve this myself... Thank you for the help:)
