So I got my new Chlorine test yesterday and used for the first time this morning. I experiment with it a little and did both the 25ml fill (x.2) and the 10ml fill (x0.5). I added chlorine yesterday after a pool party and added too much as the 25ml fill took 98+ drops of reagent and never...

My completed pool project is one week old. My Auto Cover was just installed two days ago (very nice but insanely expensive). I noticed when I went out to get a water sample this morning when I retracted the cover to get the water sample steam just rolled off like fog in the morning. It was...

So I made what I thought was corrections to my water based on the IDEAL LEVELS page of this forum. The levels are for FG pools. TA-100 *still outside the ideal range of 60-80. PH- 7.6 FC- 7 CC- 0 CH-360 *might be 350, started to change color at drop 35 but was a definite color change to...

I purchased a case of Doheny brand “Oxidizer”. Advertised as getting rid of any CC to supplement your regular “Shock”. Does this stuff work? I purchased a case of 12-1lb bags prior to learning about TFP

No sir I do not. Pure FG pool.

So because I don't have a pool heater, I don't need to worry about Calcium Hardness at all? Yeah!!!!! One less thing to worry about.

I added some CH increaser because according to a chart I've seen somewhere on here I'm still a little low. Should I raise PH to the recommended 7.6-7.8? Lastly how much Liquid Chlorine do I need to add daily to keep my chlorine levels at the recommended 6-8ppm according to the chart...

Sorry, Liquid Chlorine which is 10% strength.

Please tell me what to do to get into TFP levels (you might need to dumb it down for me as in add this much borax or this much LC etc.) Water temp 84dg ALK: 100 PH: 7.4 FC: 5 CH: 280 CYA: 45 All testing was done with my Taylor K-2005 (the recommended FC test is on order) Thanks a bunch and...

Just ordered one of these! Thanks

I'm using my trusty Taylor K-2005 and I chlorinate with Liquid Chlorine. My CYA levels are a bit high at 55 (was using di-chlor shock at first before becoming more educated). My pool builder has an auto Chlorinator installed but I have yet to use it. I intend to use it only if I want to...

Thank you for that Sir. I read thru most for the articles and Wow-a wealth of info! Extra helpful was the levels for the type of pool you have. So much to read through and so much knowledge at my fingertips. Gonna take a break from reading and go out and Vaccuum the pool. It's nice...

Boy, I'm so thankful I stumbled on this site! Brand new pool owner here. So, a little about myself, I'm a 57-year-old retired LEO from my home county in Indiana. Been here all my life. I think I did my research and decided to go with a fiberglass pool. There seems to be so much to...
