I am helping a buddy.His CYA was over 300 from years of tablet usage.We drained and filles his pool last night.My question is do I need to shock the water to start.Here are the current number of a 8000 gallon pebble tec pool.Also in what order to I bring everything up in?Thank You in Advance oh...

I have the K-2006 kit as recommended here.Pool store ironically got the same numbers as me. 99% cyanuric acid was addded? Could my splashout be that bad? We cannon that sucker 5 out of 7 days a week.It is only 15 dia x 6 dp in the deep end.

I let my kids swim at that. After my last shock I let them in at 10FC and they are still alive and well :mrgreen:

All my numbers are good except I cannot get my CYA up to 70-80.A month ago I tested it at 50 and added the required amount of stabilizer.A week later no change.I did it again and a week later no change.Even went to pool store and they get same numbers. My phospahates are 500, they tried to get...

Did not affect anything :)

Thank you TFP again for all your help.Shock held overnight. Sodium Thiosulfate put in so company can swim today. Does the neutralizer affect any other numbers? Thank You

Thank you about the MA shock.After sun all day I am now at 17. I am bringing back up to 23 for overnight. I checked and forgot to adjust my ph when I started.Is it okay to adjust it now.It still reads the same. Ph 8.0 FC 17 CC .5 TA 80 CYA 80 CH 310

I shocked to 44 last night and am at 30 now.But I was on my original R087 taylor reagent last night and today had to start with the one I ordered from TFP. It says I am at 30 now.I find that impossible because I was only loosing .5 per night before that? Also the reagent doesn't look the same.It...

I can't find this anywhere. Maybe I do not search well but, at what level is my chlorine safe to swim at after shocking. I am at 44 and would like to swim by Friday? Is that possible. Is there a way to "force" FC down? Thank You TFP in advance.

Has anyone here ever use the Solar Cover Stick? I was looking into gettting one but would like some actual user input.I currently have Solar Sun Rings but they are a pain to use.Thanks everyone in advance.

I am now at FC24 will check again in the morning, CC is 0. Hope it holds. :-D

before I new better I was sold on Solar Sun Rings last season when I had my pool built.Now they are a pain.I went with them under the impression the SWG pools deteriorate the bubble covers quicker.Is there any truth to this.I would like to here from other SWG pool owners on how they cover their...

Thank you for your patience with me.I really do appreciate it.I have all the trust in TFP and none in my store.Everything here just makes sense. :goodjob:

I never asked but do I leave my pump running overnight?I am going to test my water at 8pm tonight and then in the morning before work.If it does not drop 1ppm in FC am I good?

My ph was 7.4 before I started and 8.0 after.I believe it went up because I pointed a return to the surface when adding chloring to mix.I went in the house and left it aerating my pool.oops.Knowing that would you still not adjust? Thankx :oops:
