    Pool Start-up After drain

    FC 2ppm CC 0 pH 7.2 I just lowered it with some Muriatic acid TA 140 CH 225 CYA 20 Water temperature: I need to buy a thermometer I am curious to know how my measures will impact how the pool app calculates the amount of Bleach needed. Fyi, I have the free version and have not entered my...

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I must be missing something, I used the pool app to determine how much Bleach I need to increase the FC from .5ppm to 6ppm. I tried it with a CYA level of 40 and 80 and it appears that with more CYA I need more Bleach?! Sew attached

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I dissolved 3lbs of Clorox branded dry stabilizer over a 48h period, and my CYA is not even at 20 yet?! I will add more stabilizers tomorrow. Quick question: If the CYA helps to protect your chlorine why does it take more liquid chlorine to increase my ppm if I have more CYA? For example for a...

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I purchased 2 as I need 5 pounds, but I'm a little worried by the clorox brand since the CYA was one of my issues before I emptied the pool, if you think I shouldn't use the clorox dry stabilizer let me know! I only bought it since it will arrive soon and I can return it. Thank you

    Thank you. It seems like I should not do anything until the pool is filled to the skimmer opening, and I am running the equipment for 4hours.

    Pool Start-up After drain

    Good morning, After 4 years I decided to drain the pool before the Summer start in AZ. This is my first time draining the pool. It has been empty for 3-4 days and I am ready to fill it up. I found some old threads about this topic but some of the recommendations were confusing to me. Any...

    I have not checked daily my FC, that is my fault. And I just measured and you are 100% the FC is too high, it's at 21. So would the following potentially work: Day 1: raise FC to 20, add 4 pucks Day 8: add 4gal and 4pucks Day 15: add 4gal and 4pucks Day 22: measure FC and adjust with liquid...

    10% from home depot or lowes. And they are stored inside to avoid the sun and are less than 3months old. I am also trying to get my TA lower I am at 180 and pH is high as well. Sorry two issues simultaneously

    Extremely High TA and Ph

    So I started with TA of 400 and PH of 8.2 Then I lowered it to TA200 and PH 7.5 And now it's at TA180 and PH 8.2 Seems like the PH keeps going up?! Thoughts
