Super clear. It the sunlight it looks amazing. Here is a picture I just took. It is overcast right now. I’ll take another when it is sunny out. The turtle is at the 6’ level.

Well the results are in! CYA is at 30. I can still see the dot at 40. Filled the tube to 30. Did a quick glance waist high and sun at my back. Did not see the dot. If I stare down the tube with one eye closed I have to try real hard to see it. OCLT- Sundown. FC 3.5 CC 0 Prior to sunrise FC 3.5...

Hi there, I have a question on calcium hardness. I had an RO service done two weeks ago. Prior to the service my calcium hardness was 600. After the RO service it was down to 100. It’s now at 125 and has been there for quite a few days. According to Pool Math it should be minimum 250. I’ve had...

Hi there… I live in the Phoenix metro area and it will be 100 degrees plus everyday over summertime. My garage and shed get pretty toasty. I have a chest freezer in the garage temp controlled with an inkbird controller. I can keep it at a constant 75 degrees. Or any temp I like really. Would...

Perfect. I appreciate it. I will report back soon.

Thanks Rancho. I have not done the OCLT. Will the test be accurate with the chemistry I currently have?

So it’s been a week+ since I did my RO service. I want to start raising my CH and CYA. Pool math logs are in my profile. I’m going to start raising both in small increments. Is there a sequence to raising, or do one before the other? Thanks as always, Kurt.

I bought the TF100 less then a month ago. I bought the XL version. The jug of R0013 is pretty big. The sticker says 60ml but the container is the size of a large flask.

Hi, I had a RO service done 6 days ago. My CYA tests since then have shown zero. I have the TF100 kit and I fill to the top of the cylinder (above 20) and can still see the dot at the bottom. A bit cloudy, but can still see it. I went to buy some liquid conditioner today and brought my water...

Done with pucks !! I am using liquid chlorine going forward. I will probably look into getting a SWG in the near future. I do have a water softener for the house. I will check into connecting it to my pool fill line. Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to add more chlorine tonight. I will be...

Hello, I had my RO service done this weekend and am very happy with the results. The before and after logs are available in my profile pool math link. The CYA was brought down to zero. The TDS came down from 2200 to 450. I am waiting a few days to adjust the calcium hardness and stabilizer. The...

Sorry about the late response, I promise I am not ignoring you all...:rolleyes: I got hit with a pretty nasty cold. This morning was the first time I was able to test again and post here. Regarding the RO treatment it is scheduled for next weekend. I will report back the details once complete...

Hi everyone, This is my second post here. I did an intro just over a year ago and kind of faded off for awhile, continuing down the path of the dark side (pool store). Well I am all in now. I did a drain and fill about a year ago with the help of a pool service and this year I have a slight...
