Since opening the pool (equipment was off, no cover), there has been excessive chlorine consumption. The pool was closed (no cover) over the winter. Opened and there were spots of green algae. Brushed, cleaned and brought chlorine to shock level. Water is very clear. Passed OCLT. But the...

How long did it take for the cya to dissolve? I bought the puritech brand and it has been hanging in a pillow cover in front of a return for the past 1.5 days and has barely dissolved. I did squeeze it quite a number of times as well.

Thanks.

Need to add about 17lb to increase CH. Kindly guide on the best sources to buy. This is 94% calcium chloride. Not sure of the remaining 6%. Is this ok to use...

No cover for the pool. Ordered CYA and will test again before adding. Want to get it to 50 - 60 due to high chlorine consumption.

This is what we did. Added a couple of gallons to bring the level to 11 - 12 ppm. pH was at 7.6 and TA was at 80. CYA was 40. Loaded a floater with pucks and tossed it in. Loaded another floater with pucks and left it outside in a cover. Had a friend come after a week to toss that in the pool...

Thanks.

Thanks. No cover :(. So, just going to hope for the best :). Do I need to adjust the CH at all?

Current test results. FC 8 CC 0.5 pH 7.7 TA 70 CH 175 CYA 40 - 50 (tested at 40 ten days ago. Added stabilizer to bring up to 50. Had a few inches of rain. Will test again this week) CSI -0.24 Currently we are using about 3.5 - 4 ppm even with...

Adding 24oz by volume of PoolTime stabilizer. (Poolmath said 35oz by volume). Will test in a few days and see. Thanks.

Chlorine consumption is at 3.5 ppm a day. Water temperature is 68. Tested CYA. Dot visibile at 40. Gone at 30. I would say it was visibile around 35 as well. This is the test I hate :). So subjective. So should I keep it as 40 or 30? Should I increase the CYA?

3-4 weeks ago it was 40. No significant water change since then, so I assume it is still at 40.

Chlorine consumption is still high. 3 - 3.5 ppm on a daily basis. :( Chlorine is good this time. Water clear. OCLT passed. CYA 40. TA - 80 CH - 200 pH - 7.6 CC - 0.5 What should I check? So confused. Should I increase the CYA? It was 50 last year. Mid west particularly OK state folks...

Thanks.

TA 80 CH 200 Added acid and pH dropped to 7.2 this morning. Later I noticed that CSI is at -0.79. Do I need to make any immediate adjustments? Thanks

Yes it is 10%. It costs $2 a gallon at Atwoods on sale.

Thanks. Water temp is at 61 now.

No autofill. We filled up few inches last week when we opened the pool. I have not measured the CH of fill water. CSI -0.32

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will call Atwoods. On another note, do I need to adjust the CH? It is at 200 right now.

Tested it 50min after addition (overcast with rainy day). It is only 6.5. Should have been 8 as per my calculation. Did not save the receipt .. :rolleyes:

and we bought 8 cases :oops:

Will redo the OCLT once the rain stops.

We just bought it last week from Atwoods. Just added a gallon. How long to wait to retest? (30 min enough). Thanks.

Please pour some thoughts on what adjustments need to be made to get the chlorine consumption to a normal range. Last year only in the peak summer there were few days at 3.5 ppm a day. Pool was closed (not covered) for 4 months. Opened it a week back, filled it few inches and shocked the pool...

Thanks.

Thanks. I added the image as an attachment now. Hope that displays.

We decided to winterize the pool (no cover) this year. Had someone come do it since we are not familiar with the procedure. We lowered the water below the skimmer for the pool and spa. This is the amount of water left in the spa after draining. Should we add more water? Do we need to add any...

Hello, Folks in Oklahoma, please chime in and help. This is the first year we are thinking of closing. We want to leave the pool uncovered, but winterize. Few say they recommend blowing out the lines, while few say they do not blow the lines. Do you blow out the lines? Do you cover the pool...
