It's been 30 minutes. FC 2.5 so I guess that means I don't have ammonia so I continue with adding CYA and slamming?

So you're saying I won't see my chlorine register at 10ppm because it will get used up when it goes in the water? I think I misunderstood when I read about the ammonia in water.

I am trying to raise my pool's chlorine to 10ppm. I have no chlorine or CYA in my water. I've added 37 oz of 10% chlorinating liquid to my swampy 2900 gallon pool. I've let it circurlate for several minutes and my chlorine reading was FC 2.5 and CC 3.5. I took another reading 15 mins later and...

My hubs doesn't even know how to turn on a computer! We had a large above ground for around 17 years. We never covered it, so I could see what was going on with it. This small pool came with a cover and he thought he was doing me a favor by covering it up!! NOT!! He's now out there brushing the...

As soon as the sun gets off the pool, I'm going to add 10 ppm chlorine to it and check in 30 minutes to see how much chlorine has been used, then go from there. That might give me a good indicator if I have an ammonia problem. My pool was perfect all last summer. It got out of whack because I...

We have a well and my husband won't fill a pool with well water. I have everything on hand to clean the water up. Our yard is already so wet from all the rain we've had, so draining the pool is a no go anyway.

This is the second season with our small Intex pool. My husband closed it up last fall before I got it prepared for closing. We opened it today and it's a green, smelly swamp!! What do I need to do first? Here are my numbers: FC 0 TA 50 Salt 1200 Ph 6.8 CYA 0 Should I add CYA when I add...

Thank you. I'm adding salt today.

I would say my generator is making chlorine. It's at 9 and I don't use any other chlorine products. I have thought about raising it a little.

Small Saltwater Pool, are my numbers looking good? I was a little concerned about the pH. Should I be? My numbers are mostly the same 98% of the time. FC 9 CC 0 TC 9 TA 70 pH 7.8 Salt 2400 Calcium 50 - I normally don't check this, did it for fun today CYA 70 Temp 88

Thank you. We just had several more rounds of storms tonight, so tomorrow I will have to let more water out of the pool!

It had just cut off.

I have my pump on a timer. It runs 9 hours a day.

Pool water looks beautiful! Temp 82 degrees. Should I increase my salt and TA? pH 7.5 -7.8 FC 6 CC .5 TC 6.5 TA 30 Salt 2200 CYA 70 We've had to let out 5-6" of water due to all the rain we've had. More expected today. High 80's - low 90's this week.

I don't check CH everytime but it was just fine!
