Correct - my bad. I did mean chlorine yes. Am I able to add liquid chlorine and muriatic acid at the same time? I plan to add enough chlorine to get to SLAM levels and I will add muriatic acid and aerate with fountain and jets. This is correct?

Hello- have had my pool balanced for a long while and recently was away for 2 days. Pool is 18000 gallons plaster. I added 80oz of liquid CH two days ago. Today I took the TF-100 and tested it all again: According to my TF-100 TA: 110 PH: 7.8 FC: 1 (if that) CYA: 60 if I’m not mistaken -...

Thanks for all your help! Looking good just after 24 hours. Will add slightly more stabilizer and call it a day - thank good for the rain. Was able to drain slightly and have the rain fill it. Y’all are the best!

YOU ALL ARE AWESOME! Its currently downpouring so i will likely test once the storm passes (maybe will help with my CH LOL) - again, thank you all! I will get my tests logged and shared!

UPDATE: Y'all are the best - seriously. Since I love my new T100 test kit, I went ahead and did all the tests this morning (not expecting much to change) but some did. All i added was a galllon of liquid chlorine and 120oz of CYA (still soaking) and continue to run the pump 24/7. Here are the...

Got it! I used about 100oz of Leslies granular conditioner. 2 almost full socks in the skimmers now.

Last question before I add the chemicals - for the sock soak method, I have a Jandy 580 cartridge filter. Should i still use the sock method? One sock in each skimmer with 60oz of the conditioner? 1 sock with all 120oz of conditioner? or can I just dump it right in the skimmer?

I've redone the CH test twice now - 650 and 675. So maybe not as terrible as first imagined. Essentially I will need to add 1 Gal of 10% Liquied Chlorine (no Cal-hypo) and utilize the sock soaking method to raise CYA to 50 and then maintain between 6-8ppm minimum 4ppm.

Thanks so much! Alot to take in here.

Pool is crystal clear - was filled about a month ago. PB added chemicals 3 weeks ago when I was not here and he has since retired. Im sorta on my own. I know he used acid to start.

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION - Y'ALL ARE AWESOME AND I ALREADY LOVE THE TESTING KIT. With that said- here are the results of my tests. Not sure what to add from here. Chlorine: .5 (if that - not holding Chlorine) PH: 7.8 Calcium Hardness: 750ppm Total Alkalinity: 60 CYA: 0? EDIT: Plaster Pool...

I have a rainbow100 - will that suffice?

PB finished pool 3 weeks ago. Gave a 1 hour crash course while throwing in a ton of acid and essentially said good luck. Picture is of my water test this morning 3 weeks since PB left. Attempting the stay on top of it. Water is currently decently clear. Leslies recommended to raise the...
