I already have the TF100 kit.

So as the FC drops it should change back? It's at 7.5 as of this morning. EDIT: Just tested my salt and it's at 4200. This pool math app is not very accurate for salt content I guess. Now it says I need to drain and replace 17% of my water.

Passed the SLAM last night and added the salt today. But now the water is a clear green. We got in a little after adding the salt to help move any deposits around. Any ideas what could cause this? The ladder for the pool is metal and plastic, could that cause it?

Okay so 170 it is then. I was down to 3.5ppm FC this morning. Assuming I didn't good it up last night, that's a big drop. I added enough CYA and Bleach to get me to 12/30 this morning as well.

I did the alch again and got 160 as very very slightly red and 170 as definitely obviously red. I wish this came with example colors to shoot for lol.

Yeah I got the TF100. Oh, no I didn't wipe it. Must have missed that bit. I'll test it again in a bit and update this. The water is still perfectly clear. Should I leave the FC and CYA tonight to see if it drops? The water is still just as clear as the day I filled it.

No. Just got my kit today. So this is my initial test since filling on Saturday.

Here is where I am at. I think the water here is just very calcified. Suggestions or should I just go off the app?

I won't get my test kit until Monday sadly. Can you swim during shock levels?

Got it pretty darn well cleaned out. Can it be swam in at shock levels? Or will I even need to slam it?

Just got this photo from my lady. About 10" left in the pool right now with the utility pump off. Now I just gotta figure out the easiest way to get this gunk out of the bottom without a proper way to pump to waste or anything.

Good point on the Clarity aspect. Looking forward to getting this project finished. The lady says she's tired of me spending all my free time dealing with the pool. And I agree. Haha.

Well okay, 100% isn't gonna be possible. But at least 90%. I'll be at 12" of water this evening before I go to bed and turn the pump off. I'll be up at 3 am on saturday to start smoking some pork shoulder for guests and will kick the pump on then to get it good and low. Might even rig the old...

Alright, so ill get CYA to 30ppm and FC to 5ppm according to pool math. Get my kit, get my Ph set and then pump up the FC to 12 to slam?

Alright, Alright. I'll forget the strips then altogether. So all of my new equipment(pump/SWG/filter/skimmer/robo cleaner) will be here satruday, but the test kit won't be here till monday. If I get the pool refilled by Sunday, should I wait till monday to add anything to the water? Or use pool...
