    Pool is still cloudy........but better than before

    So I don't need that test them right? And I've tried using the Pool Math but wasn't sure how to do it. The first one I think I understand is the goal. What you want it to be. Right? But what does not setup mean? Is that what your test results are? BTW what are the goals for each test??

    Cloudy Pool is about to drive me over the edge

    Well I think I'm just going to try to get one of those tests in the next week or so. I actually added shock last night and tested this morning and it showed but total chlorine and free chlorine at a 10 and the free chlorine had pretty much always been in the ideal range (on the test strips) so...

    Cloudy Pool is about to drive me over the edge

    Okay well I was just wondering because last year, though it was only up for about a month we tested it with test strips and didn't have a problem, the water stayed clear so I just thought maybe by draining it and cleaning it out and putting new water in that it might work but guess I will just...

    Cloudy Pool is about to drive me over the edge

    Okay if I found what you're talking about the one costs $70. Is that the right one? If so, that's WAY more than I can spend right now. Any suggestions on what to do til I can get one or do I just need to forget about trying to fix it til then?

    Cloudy Pool is about to drive me over the edge

    My boyfriend has a pool that he set up late last summer so it was only swam in once and then a tarp was put over it for the winter (leaving the water in it). When he went to open it up this year about 2-3 weeks ago the water was still clear but in the process of taking off the tarp (because he...
