Thanks all! My chemicals are actually pretty good. So Ill just tighten them up and get ready for a great year! Thanks again!

As the subject states…Im looking to possibly open up the pool but would like some advice from the experts to know what is the daily average temp to begin to get the chemicals right? Current water temp is 68 degrees Located in Virginia Beach, VA TIA

thanks Jim. Makes sense

Ive searched through the forums…and I would think that this is possible….To calculate volume of pool (gallons) by adding one bag of salt. Is it? If so, can someone provide the formula? Thanks!

Thank you sir!

Hi guys, First time pool owner and have learned a TON from TFP! Amazing group of people. Being in Chesapeake, Va we still have some warm days ahead of us BUT would like to get my chemistry perfect before I officially cant swim anymore. I plan on keeping the pump running all winter. Can someone...

Confused with results….(despite water looking fairly clear this morning) Took Water reading as follows. 1) Sunset occured at 815pm - turned off Chlorinator in settings on smart panel 2) Took Reading at 8:50pm: FC at 4.4 ppm 3) Left pump running all night 4) Took morning reading at 5:20am: FC at...

Thanks for clearing this portion up! And for the quick response. Thanks!

Thanks for you help. Quick question, I saw the video for the OCLT, and it said that I need to get my levels to my Target FC/CYA levels first….and once there that is my baseline FC level. Can I instead just measure my FC level at sunset….turn off my chlorinator, then that is my baseline…. Then...

Ahhh, that makes sense. Ill put it back to original settings for chlorinator I wont raise my CYA until I know whats going on.

Thanks! I lowered my Chlorinator to 60% and I will raise my CYA (targeting 70 ppm) based on the CYA/FC chart for SWG. Ill also do the chlorine loss test tonight (ill be sure to shut of my chlorinator), will results tomorrow. Ill get some pics and post of the water clarity soon.

New Pool Owner and despite being OCD I cant get rid of this cloudy water, Id love some pointers from you guys. Having been on the forums and reading a bunch I did pick up a TAYLOR K-2006 Test Kit. Here are my current levels Ph: 7.2 FC: 4.6 CC: 0.2 (I never had this be 0…..should it?) CYA: 55...

Good to know! Thanks!
