Hello guys, I am late opening my pool this year and have been having trouble keeping my chlorine level up. So, after a couple days I checked my CYA level and it is reading 0. I did loose a good bit of water over winter, but can’t believe I’m getting a 0 reading. My CYA reagent I bought was at...

Hi everybody, just throwing this out there and asking if anyone is having trouble purchasing liquid chlorine and/or bleach. I bought up 8 gal of Walmart 10% early in the season and they have since sold out. I was told nothing available on the horizon. So figured I would get GreatValue bleach...

Got a late start this yr due to the cold and rainy month of May. I was worried the water would be a swamp but was crystal. Her is my problem. I forgot to order new reagents from TFT, so can not test right now. We are leaving tomorrow evening for the weekend. What amount of 10% chlorine should...

Hello again, my first post of 2018. As the title states we had to install a new liner and the pool is almost full. I just used city water to fill and I’m probably not going to be able to install pump for at least two days from now. So I’ll be asking some questions soon about water testing and...

I've been telling my friend at work that I found this site and how much it helped me get my pool looking great. He has been having trouble all summer and asked if I could bring my test kit to work and he would bring in a sample for me to test. He just told me that the pool shop told him that...

My PH is creeping up, not out of range yet, but went from 7.4 to 7.7 after about a week or so. My TA is right at 100. Should I adjust the PH only with MA and let that bring my TA down too. The only reason I ask is if you look at the chart for Chem levels for vinyl the TA top end of scale is 90...

Hey everybody. Just wanted to say how glad I am to find this site and then actually join this group. I didn't think I could believe that a person could take care of maintaining great looking water with just some stuff from mainly a grocery store. I switched from baquacil after using it in two...

Finally! Test results for overnight test 10:30 last night FC 20.5 CC .5 6:30 this morn. FC 19.5 CC 0 Water is crystal clear. I thought I had clear water with BAQ, but nothing compares to how this water sparkles. Now, I have a problem of...

This will be a short thread, I need the link to the person on here that sells refills of reagents for Taylor test kits. I've seen it on here several times but can not find it. Thanks

replacing around 40% of my pool water and refilling, I left the pump run for approx. 4 hours and then tested the water. These are the results... FC 0 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 90 CH 230 CYA 50 The PH and TA are in range but at the top of the scale, I would probably leave both alone for now. CH is fine...

Back from vacation and did about a 40%drain today due to high CYA. It was reading between 70 & 80ppm before the drain. I am in the process of filling now and realized how dirty the liner is above the water line. What is a good cleaner to use in this area? I always used a baquacil product before...

Hello to all, Our family has had a pool for over 20 years and have always used Baquacil up until last June (late opening) and I couldn't take the cost anymore. I am the only one that does the pool maintenance and I understood the Baquacil program. Chlorine is still too new to me and I was...
