I still need help: I thought we had a successful shock last weekend. After a couple of very sunny days, is appeared that the FC's settled from the shock level (FC 38) to about FC 6 and CC at .5, however after 5 days now my FC's are 3. We started a boost to our Jandy system this morning. Hope...

thanks, I will give it a try

update: My pool is nice and clear. I am having a difficult time, I think, in getting a good CYA. Is there a better way to check other than what the TF100 kit recommends, this seem so subjective? I think I successfully shocked the pool. Now I am looking for regular readings. I thought I had a...

Dora, What takes you to Germany? Business or pleasure. The pool was GREAT yesterday!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I live in Canfield, so we do have the same weather. Hot and muggy today.

I am excited. Last night I took my FC to 36.......NO drop overnight! Wow! CC is 1.

Update....I am spending a fortune on Chlorine. (I am also reordering chemicals to replace the TF100 kit items because of the amount of testing I am now doing) I think I am about 3 weeks into this shocking process. The pool is crystal clear, but the FC's, as you all know, is the problem I am...

Wow, big drop in FC again last night Reading in evening: FC 27.5 and CC 1.5 this morning FC 18.5 and CC .5 We did have the pool covered, which we normally do. Should we leave the cover off? Any other ideas?

Status update: My pool continues to be chrystal clear however I have been adding so much liquid clorine. My SWG is set at 0% but he failure light is on indicating the saline is too high. I think we are finally doing a better job of shocking the pool now but I am still losing FC. My current...

I am a little frustrated, so please allow me to ramble.............How much chlorine is too much? My pool is crystal clear but I have added more than 40 gal of Chlorine in the past 11 days. Yesterday, I had a FC reading of 5 and put in 4 gal of chlorine (2 gallons at 3pm and 2 gallons at 7pm)...

CYA reading....I am just learning. This seem to be quite difficult to read. Is there a more accurate reading that can be preformed? When reading fron the TF100 kit, should I look into the tube until I see absolutely no trace of black on the bottom of the test tube? At times I think the...

Thanks. I cleaned the filters just prior to my attempt at shocking the pool. I will add 4 gal chlorine today and see how high that brings it up.

My SWG is 0% and the pool has been clear for several days now but it is not holding FC. Readings are: (using the TF100) pH is 7.3 (I think); Total chlorine is 2; CYA is 80 (I think); FC is 3.5. The free chlorine was yesterday morning was 5.5 (I added 2 gal of chlorine yesterday afternoon..it...

When you say " shut off the SWG", are you suggesting I shut off the pump or just turn down the SWG to 0%?

Salt level just shut down my SWG. So, tell me why the salt level is not important? My pool is clear but I am still loosing FC at night. Last night it went from 9.5 to 5.5.
