Re: If CYA is 40, optimal FC level is 4 - what rate will it Thanks, the pool is in sunlight all day long, from the minute the sun rises until sunset due to how its positioned on our property. I will experiment :)

Re: If CYA is 40, optimal FC level is 4 - what rate will it I was reading the CYA/FC chart, and it says minimum is 3, target is 5, so that is where i got 4 from :) should by FC really be 5 if my CYA is 40? PS: on recommended levels page it says my CYA for plaster pool to be 30-50 .. if...

If CYA is 40, optimal FC level is 4 - What rate should the FC level fall by in 24 hours that is in an acceptable level of decline?

thx added 10l muriatic .. to lower my ph and then aerate and then shock my bad.. shock then after cc is ok then lower ta can u plz tell me if my fc is maintained will i have high cc problems?

here are my readings FC 1.2 CC 5 PH 7.8 TA 325 CH 200 CYA 20-30 (barely any, new fill - only dumped dichlor 3kg in it since start) please advise what should I work on first, TA, and PH, and then add more Dichlor to get my CYA up?

thanks for the help anyhow, they say they need to leave some kinda space around the edges for the bottom layer, so it can shift, and thus not crack - because cracks are produced when the concrete has no place to expand to i googled and googled and read that they leave space around the edges...

the bottom is one slab, on it, is another concrete slab which has the tiles on it the bottom one isn't cracked then water would escape from the pool

The pool floor is 1 meter thick plus some more its compromised of well beaten soil, on it are some rocks, then there's the waterproof concrete layer and on top of that a 20cm (8-10 inch) concrete render (i think thats what its called) i know when they built the pool they didn't wait, they...

Hi There Last year we finished our custom swimming pool, below is a pic after I opened it from it being covered for the winter; our cleaning lady is .. well cleaning. Anyways, A ton of mosaic tiles came off on the bottom, because cracks started showing up. I contacted the builder, and...

I have a 15000 gallon pool and it costs about 110$ / month to run including electricity. It used to cost me more, until I found this site. Now I don't spend money buying PH Minus for like $8 per 2.2 lbs cans nor do I spend money on trichlor pucks and algaecide :)

I shocked my exact same size pool with 2 kilograms of dichlor (chlorine granulates) and that bought the CYA to ideal level, and then after I switched to liquid chlorine. All I'm doing now is adding Liquid CHlorine every 2 days and vacuuming/scrubbing.. 4 weeks perfect water, thx to this forum...

Comparing to what I paid for our pool that's a great price with a ton of bells and whistles included.

You can order The Taylor K2006 kit, although I recommend the Taylor K2006C kit (which is the same but will last longer/let u do more tests because it has more reagents) from various online pool stores in the USA that DO ship international. ;)

Anything I can do to clear CC besides shocking? Or is shocking the way to go?
