I appreciate the explanation, I rarely use trichlor tablets, except when i go on vacation, but I was always curious. Thanks

Love the site and all the help I have gotten here. My question is about % of ingredients when I look on a package. For example when I see trichloro tablets it says 93.6% trichloro, and when i look at pool schock that uses trichloro it says 43.46%. Does this mean the say one 8oz tablet has...

What FC level would algae start to grow. According to the CYA/FC chart my target FC is 4-6 and the minimum is 2.

I've been following this site for a few years with great results. This year I had to replace my liner so when I refilled my pool I got my CYA up to 30 and I keep my FC at 5 to 6. I have had issues with cloudy water twice this year. I get 4 weeks of perfect water, then it starts to get...

Looks like the ph worked ... Got it down to 7.2 and this morning the water already looks better Thanks

Yea I've heard that too, I try not to backwash too often. I've tried the de in the filter before but every time I do it the pressure rises after an hour or so and I have no return pressure back into the pool. Almost like the filter is dirty again. I wasn't adding much, about 1 cup total, but...

The sand in my filter was changed last year. I recently backwashed and my clean psi is 17 and the current psi is 18. I'm going to lower the pH and see what that does. Thanks for all the help and I'll update later

FC was still 6.5 this morning at 7:00

My CC is currently 0 ( just tested it) My FC is 6.5 tonight at 9:30pm, I'll post my FC for tomorrow AM. What kind of overnight loss would I look for to SLAM? And what is that overnight loss telling me is going on? Also should I be running 24/7 until I get the problem fixed ? Thanks for all...

Pool was crystal clear then all of the sudden I noticed it was clear just not crystal like it should be Here are my most current readings Cya-50 FC - keeping at 7 Ta -90 Ch - 90 Ph 7.8 The only big change from the last time I checked all my numbers is the ph is higher. Any suggestion...

I agree with everyone else, once you learn and understand what you are doing, you spend less time and less money and your pool will never look better. I tell everyone I know to use this site

Thanks for the advice. The water looks good today, but just not crystal clear yet. I'm hoping it just needs more time. Do the rest of my tested levels look ok?

No I didn't, as soon as I got the FC level up the green cleared up. Should I always SLAM when I see any green?

Last year I discovered this site and it was the best thing for my pool. I opened pool this year and it was a little green and cloudy. My numbers are Ph 7.6 Ta 90 Cal 80 CYA 50 FC 6.0 I've been testing FC everyday and trying to keep it around 6.0. I usually lose about 1.0 FC/day It has...

First I wanted to say my pool is looking awesome, sparkling and crystal clear. You all really know your stuff here, thank you so much. I have a 2 part question: What is the best time if the day to test and add chlorine to the pool? Is it normal to lose 2ppm over a day period? Yesterday I...
