should I put two pucks in the feeder or one in feeder on in sock or just keep just the one in the feeder for now..I dont want to add too much CYA and it is a smallish pool

I did test for CC and initially got nothing but as it sat for 5-10 min as I worked on something else it did change every so slightly pink..one drop reversed it..

Im here in Charlotte NC and just opened this past weekend...pulled the cover off and was happy to see some bright blue clear water with only a little green crud on the entrance to the intake (which has since gone away) As this is my 3rd year of TFP and BBB, I tested first and found I had a fc...

Thanks to BBB we enjoyed the heck out of our pool last summer..Although I pulled the cover off on a freakishly hot weekend about a month ago..never going to do that again as the trees here in NC hadnt finished dropping all their **** and the water which was 60 is just now getting into the 68...

Hmmm, I have mine set to come on at 37 also (per the instructions on the thermostat) but have the pump off otherwise...should it still be running a couple hrs a day even though the cover is on and water is ~60 degrees?

i'm here in Charlotte and in same boat with you..first winter closing my small inground fiberglass pool. From what I could gather from this site, I jacked my FC up to shock levels, vacuumed out the pool and put the top on..I was tired of having to fish all the leaves out every morning when it...

any reason I should raise it (CH)? Benefits? If I have learned anything here at TFP its that less is more :)

yup, I am using 4.5 as my baseline..pops back up to 6 whenever I add the bleach!

OK, couple of weeks in and the water has been beautiful the entire time, everyone that uses the pool comments on how the water just glows... I have had the puck feeder off for a couple of weeks now, testing in the morning and just adding 13-18oz of 8.5% Bleach a day as I have been going from 6...

First time pool owner, I really appreciate all the info here. When I bought the house the pool water looked great but being a newbie I called a recommended local pool service to help get me started. They came out and informed me that the TA was zero and the TDS and CYA was through the roof and...
