Let me see if my neighbor has the FAS-DPD so I can get that reading.

It’s ok I needed it quick and I already ordered the extra CYA from TF kits and the FAS one as well. I just needed to have the other stuff and I wanted it yesterday to get the pool going. Hopefully I can borrow from my neighbor the FAS test today. I will order the TF100 when this one is out.

Ok guys, I checked the chlorine before I went to bed and it was off the color chart. This morning checked again and it was at the highest color on the tester. What should I do next? I need to test everything again?

Thanks!! That is it! So if you were going to set it how would you run it?

Yes!! I maybe should have waited until I got that to pour that much chlorine in?? I did 3 gallons but I do have mustard algae. It won’t come off with wire brush. And on the VS pump I could run it 24/7?? How would I do that or set it? Would I change speeds at different times? Set a new schedule...

Omg duh!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I didn’t know that thing moved.

Just ordered the TF CC test since it didn’t come with the kit I found tonight.

Yes sir! Doing that now!

Yes I do that was the original kit i had before I realized I should be testing more things.

I went to Lowe’s this morning and bought 8 gallons of the liquid chlorine. I added 3 a minute ago. So you think I should keep my pump on all the time? Or since I added the bleach an hour ago let it run until I go to bed? If I leave it on all the time what speed? Also, I don’t know how to reset...

I’m scared to even use them with the CYA issue I had. If I do use them how should I use them in the chlorinator. I swear y’all, the pool company told us NOTHING!!! I am a quick learner but someone has to be patient enough to sit and explain. I am starting to understand that I could have gotten...

Great idea on marking the thing! I already added the liquid chlorine I did 3 gallons because I think I have mustard algae and the pool Math old school one said to SLAM with 3 gallons

Thank you so much for pointing out the old pool math!! I found it. This is kind of starting to make sense to me now. I went ahead and did what it said for mustard algae slam and added one more gallon for the 24 SLAM. Hope I did that right. On the cartridges I am confused. This is what mine looks...

Quick question about cartridge filters....how often should you clean them? I just cleaned them a couple weeks ago but the meter is running on 20. Right after cleaning it was much lower. Just wasn’t sure how the filters affected everything as well and when a good time to clean them was. Also, how...

Ok, I was able to get my hands on the Taylor kit. My CYA (best I could tell, first time doing it) was around 37-40. TC 0.5, FC 0.5 Ph 7.5 CH 190 ALK 300

Ok so I am super worried about my plaster and that I messed it up somehow by draining it. I’m praying it isn’t. And is there a certain way to add these chemicals so you don’t mess anything up? I am asking because I notice on the leslies recommendations that it always suggests an order of things...

Ok last questionS for now...I bought liquid chlorine and acid today at Lowe’s. What do you use for the calcium hardness? Can I just use regular bleach or better to get the liquid chlorine? Soda ash or borax? I don’t want to go to leslies if I don’t have to!! I am ready to have a trouble free...

Ok right! So when I do know my actual levels are there places y’all buy your chemicals or do you use pool stores.

What Taylor test kit is the one I need? I’m going to a pool store by where I’m at and I’m going to see if they have one. Or what tests specifically do I want to make sure the kit covers

Ok perfect! Thank y’all all for your help! I saw that but forgot and I have already added some last night hit the numbers still aren’t right. I’ll put some more tonight.

Ok thank you. How much liquid chlorine should I add? Should I not add anymore muriatic acid or do anything about alkalinity?

Ok that one I will order now! Should I add anything on? Should I wait to do anything else to the pool until I get that or should I go off what leslies report said to do.

I got it from that website you jus mentioned but just got cya kit solo. I will order one from there. Is the one on there the same as the leslies one that is their biggest one? I have a store holding one for me it was like $86. Is is a Taylor one. But not sure what number

I agree. But I don’t know of a store that actually sells them. I don’t think I should wait too long but 🤷🏼‍♀️
