    Away for weekend

    I don't do math. I would dump 1-2 gallons and do the same when you get home.

    Cloudy water

    5-7 I do drop to 3 if I ignore it for a day or two and swim when it is hot.

    Cloudy water

    if you are keeping the FC where it should be according to the CYA chart, you shouldn't get any algae. bump it up. I know 28oz of 10% moves me up 1ppm. So if I don't feel like testing, she gets 28oz a day (or double every two days) and if hot as heck or bather load, I add more.

    Burning eyes

    Yep, another one of these posts. Have been using TFP this year and beyond happy. Today we swam and our eyes burned the rest of the night. First time ever. Figured CC must be high or pH out of wack. PH 7.6 FC 5.5 CC 0.0 CYA still 50 so I guess I will test in morning as a OCLT. Can't...

    Wedding cake stairs are an algae trap.

    same ones we have. only thing is, the way our bottom is, they don't sit totally flat. always makes me wonder if I need to put a pad under the back side. have tried moving multiple times. Only way for mine to be flat is having six inches away from the pool edge (about 3-4" now).

    Is a better PH test needed?

    It's only because I bought six gallons of MA. Maybe I should buy a plow truck and we can avoid winter. :)

    CYA testing troubles, R-7065 black dot disappears at 40 ppm.

    Several of us have posted the control reads at 40. I can clearly see the dot at 50.

    how much clorox to add

    Kenny Welcome. I'm fairly new also, so I'm hoping to save you some time. Suggest you 1) stop going to the pool store. Their tests aren't reliable and their stuff is not needed and expensive 2) Head to the links in my signature...read...read...read. 3) buy a test kit, like the TF100 and post...

    How to keep pool from turning green while I'm on vacation

    How much liquid chlorine do you normally add each day? For example, can she just do a quart a day? Therefore no testing.

    Is it normal to see visibly see chlorine coming out after putting it in the skimmer?

    Exactly what my PB Bioguard dealer had us do last year, our first year. Smart Silk Sticks in the skimmer all the time, even with pump only running 10 hours a day. Glad i found you guys.
