Clearest pool in a year. Balanced as well. All I am doing now is testing the water and adding chlorine. Thank you TFP and members for your help. As promised I just made a donation. Basically the amount I saved not using the nonsense I was talked into over the last 12 months. No I need to...

Local OSH has KemTek Liquid Chlorine for sale 2gal/case $4.99 (regular $7.49), yet it comes with the expert standing around the isle. If my math is right this is the best cost I find around here. Unless, of course, I once again did mess up the gallons and this time a gallon was 256oz :hammer:

I am planning on supporting this site. Very shortly. An overnight shift of scrubbing the pool until 2am resulted in FC 19.5, CC 0.25 at 7 am (plus a wife who thinks I have always been crazy, who is now convinced that I definitely went over the cliff). Must have scrubbed a lot of matter off the...

@ needsajet Precious the little ones. One big box home improvement store I once bought a test kit which had the numbers 1 to 5 on the bottles. My son counts the bottles or picked a bottle and told me what number is written on it. It was all fun until he realized the tops can be screwed off...

Marina Thanks. Better ask than be sorry and have the algae laught at me: "we survived 30, bring on your measly 24". I can just hear the chatter

Thank you Joel Fully aware of wasting the chlorine. Just wasn't sure if letting it slide back to 24 or have to keep at 30. I wasn't trying to speed things up. Busy fending off my two year old who thinks my toys are way cooler than his and the cute little bottles of the kit help clean the pool...

Thank you Pat I was worried at 30 the biofilm on algae is just getting thicker and 24 would loose its effectiveness. Using basic plain 10% liquid chlorine.

Just a matter of time before I needed to come and seek help 24hrs into SLAM and adding more chlorine to the required 24ppm FC. A second of not paying attention to my calculation I added too much chlorine and ended with 30ppm. Heavy Chlorine smell, bubbles on the surface just like carbonated...

Thank you atttech Went with the Taylor K2006, signature updated.

Hello Members, I am glad I finally found TFP. It has been quite a ride so far and I found TFP out of frustration and plenty of misinformation, just like 99.8% of the members here. We purchased our current home a year ago and moved in a couple weeks thereafter. The house and pool was built in...
