my chemistery seems okay. I did have at opening high CYA. I drained down 1/3 of the water and refilled. My testing shows consistent level of FC in pool, last test was 2.5 and the CYA level after I drained was 40. I have shocked it once using Calcium Hypochlorite Powder Plus 73 on 6/14. The...

used Artic Armour kit. Dissoved 2 lbs of sodium dichoro to shock the pool prior to putting cover on. Because I'm at 14 PPM FC I am not putting the cover on the pool yet. I need to wait till it gets down to 3ppm to put cover over pool. I'm letting leaves now stay in the pool to oxidize the excess...

does anyone know where I can get a cover for the control? The control is going to be mounted on the side of my house and I want to protect it from rain and sun. Ideally there would be a hatch that could be left up or closed during the winter for it. I haven't gotten the SWG yet but its most...

Pool is crystal clear. I tested 1.0 PPM FC, added 95 ounces chlorine for a target of 5ppm yesterday today 8pm its at 1PPM again. I shocked it previously with 3 gallons of chlorine about a week ago. I checked the CYA it was about 38. Is this normal consumption? Seems high to me compared to last...

I've been testing and have added stabilizer to bring up CYA. Does the black dot at bottom of tester actually vanish when adding the mixture of pool water and chemical. So far I'm reading about 30 and I'm can see still barely see the black dot. When the CYA level rises will this dot completely...

Started a SLAM Saturday. Up to last night the water was green and I could barely see the bottom. This morning the green was gone and water was clear. I am adding Chlorine per the chart here based on the FC amount tested. So, I need to maintain 16 PPM based on my CYA. I tested just now and I do...

About how long does chlorine maintain its strength and what effect would storing it in a hot garage have on it?

I had a CYA level prior to covering my pool over 200 past winter. I did a partial drain a week ago and now I'm at 80 or so. Still much too high. I am doing another partial drain now. My pool is starting to get a little algae so Im putting a gallon or so of chlorine in daily and will slam it when...

I was in Walmart and first went to the household bleach section. Great value brand seemed the cheapest but I notice some had the actual chlorine content and some of them didn't. Hard to tell what other additives they are putting in this stuff since its not listed. Obviously avoid scented etc but...

I've been using a floater for convience and now find the CYA level of pool as of today was 200. I'm going to be forced to drain some water out and refill. I'll be using bleach or liquid chlorine and hoping not to have to do this again. My question concerns the TFP method and how you carry it out...
