Thanks! Will do!

I’ve begun the slamming process and I just want to make sure I’m not crazy. I know zero CC is the ideal outcome so I ‘think’ I’m still on the right track. I added a bunch of chlorine last night, that brought FC from 0 to 8 this morning. Added more, FC went to 12 (this was at 7:20am ET). Each...

Ahhh that makes sense. It was on the lower side between 80 and 90, so rounding would make it 90. I fill from the hose and it has 375 CH and 220 TA.

I took a chance and took a reading. Looking good, but it looks like I may have to exchange a little more to get the CYA down lower before I SLAM. My water bill is going to be ****** this month! 😳😂 FC - 4.0 CC - 0.5 pH - 7.0 (intentional yoga lower TA) TA - 130 CYA - 84 (on the diluted test) CH...

Thanks everyone! SUPER helpful info all around. I drained a bit of water and filled it back up this morning (about a foot or so), which I calculate as close to 2500-3000 gallons, but I was never good at math. After adding that much water, is an hour long enough to wait for it to mix to do the...

I finally got my TF100 kit and have been doing tests over the past couple of days trying to get my TA down. I think I've got that under control, but I can't seem to keep any chlorine in the pool at all. I added 2lbs of shock yesterday (Clorox 6 in 1 dichlor) and the chlorine levels spiked as...

Finally got my kit and it's 59823958736 times better than the Dang test strips for sure! I definitely feel more confident now that I can actually do my own testing. Thank you both for pushing me! One odd thing. is my chlorine levels. While I was waiting for the test kit, I took water up to...

Nice to meet you neighbor :) Do you know if there’s a difference between the TF100 and the Taylor K2005? Is the TF100 worth the extra? I imagine it’s got to be worth it with as much as everyone swears by them

Signature updated! Gah such a rookie 😂

Hey everyone! We bought our new house in March and the first thing I did was fall for the “bring your water to us and we’ll spend your money for you!” pool store gimmick. Surprisingly, they said my water was perfect (it didn’t look perfect) and I didn’t need anything (as a new home owner with...
