    CYA!!

    My cya was at 100. I drained 2/3 of the water out and filled. It was 60. Now ot at 90. Is rain causing this? I can't drain and fill it again. I will have a $500 water bill if I do. Any suggestions? If not I have a free 24 foot pool if someone will come and get it.

    Are the Pool Store Gods punishing me?

    I started BBB last week. Drained pool and refilled to get CYA right. Now trying to shock and it has rained at least 1-2 inches every evening since. My PH is 7.4 my FC is 2.4 and my CC is .08. According to the CYA chart (CYA is 40) I should be using 16 as my FC target. That being said I have been...

    Bleach Price FYI

    Went to Wally World to get bleach. They were out of the 182 oz 6% that I paid 2.98 for. Dropped in at Dollar General going home. Their 182oz 6% was 2.50. FYI.

    First part of Chlorine test

    I filled the tube to the 25ml line and put in 2 dippers of R0870. It did NOT turn pink. From my understanding that determines that I have no free chlorine. Thats why my pool is green....LOL....Anyway. Having a 14500 gallon pool above ground pool I should be shooting for 5 ppm of FC. According to...

    How much bleach?

    I tried to do a search and couldn't find any info. My question is, On the average how much bleach are you using on a weekly basis? I'm trying to get a handle on the BBB method and need a starting point. I took a sample to the pool store and I am all set for now. I know there is no exact rule...
