    How to test the chlorine in the bottle

    I would lean towards something consuming the chlorine overnight, you should post a full set of water test result numbers so everyone can try and help explain your situation. Also having your pool dimensions listed in your signature will help determine how much of what will be needed to clear up...

    Multiple Pool Problems

    I would say things are still growing in there and you need to get your FC up to at least 28ppm per the CYA chart and hold it there until you hold FC overnight (with no rain interference) Test as often as possible and add bleach to get back up to shock level. Also grab another 6 pack of POP when...

    Hockey Season is upon us

    I really pay little attention to hockey during the off season, last season I had to ask a couple of forum friends who we got and lost. :shock:

    What am I doing wrong?

    Bumped it back up 1 more time this morning, but water is sparkling now so I will let it drop to normal level and continue maintaining it with my 2 liter bottle a day bleach habit. :lol:

    Free Pool Test Tracking Software!

    Also running it on XP. Created a short cut for the desktop and the splash screen comes up and goes away and is replaced by the dos & main screens. I'm not the most savvy when it comes to downloading programs but this one works ok.

    What am I doing wrong?

    No festivities tomorrow, I'd be surprised if it even has a human sniff at it. Other than the challenge of having the clearest water around....... I don't use the pool and the wife floats on top a couple of times a season. :shock: Not real sure why we have the thing. :lol:

    I NEED MORE POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slowly getting there. This evenings numbers as of 8:30 FC 11.5 CC 0.0 PH 6.8 TA 40 CYA 40 Still have a green tint but it is getting lighter. The sock I was using to dissolve the CYA in seems to want to play catcher, so I have left it (an old hunting sock) in my...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hmmmmmm.... I assumed the test would show CC confirming a problem...my bad. CYA is already in a sock in my skimmer basket dissolving as we speak.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Pump has been running, chlorine dropped by 2ppm over night. My concern is before I drained the water was green & cloudy to the point of not seeing the bottom. My test results were about the same, showing no CC with the filter running for 3 weeks and couldn't see any change in clarity. Thought...

    Hockey Season is upon us

    Congratulations to Gary Bettman and the refs for handing the most prized trophy in all of sports to a sub par team, a team that shouldn't of even made the playoffs let alone win the whole thing. Sorry to be such a downer, but even as a Pens fan, they should not have won this cup.

    Cloudy water dilemma.

    Ph is down to 7.5 this morning and I have had .5 cc or less since the start of this. Haven't been able to get out to get any DE, but at this point dumping and filling will be just as easy.

    Cloudy water dilemma.

    If I don't see an improvement by this Friday, I am going to drain and refill, getting tired of not being able to see the bottom. :evil:

    Cloudy water dilemma.

    Opened to a green mess once again, shocked till holding overnight. I still can't see the bottom due to white cloudy water, have put a nylon over skim basket and with a few kids swimming in it, noticed more stuff being caught but still can't see bottom. Numbers are.. FC 3.5 CC .5 TC 4 PH 7.8 TA...

    Nice program, one thing I would like to see, or find if I'm missing it, would be to have the time of day added, that way you can see when you are losing your fc the most.

    Hockey Season is upon us

    I agree, I'm all for letting the players decide who wins and who loses, but there are rules that should be followed, and penalty's issued when they are not, yes calls will be missed, after all I think the refs are human after all, (could someone confirm this? :-D ) but the ones that are so...
