I used the pool math chart and added whatever it told me to add. Usually somewhere around two cups. All this has changed now...as I have determined that my SWG works fine and if anything I have too much chlorine. - - - Updated - - - Returned from trip..pool clear...that is awesome!! Water...

Testing error is very possible......

Thank you! If the CYA goes down again...like it did a couple of days ago...to 60...should I use the pucks? or should I just return them and get my money back. I can leave a gallon of bleach for someone to put in if they detect low chlorine....

Readings for 9/10 FC - 16 CYA - 80 I have adjusted the SWG to 50% from 65% this morning and once again removed the stabilizer sock. I will be leaving town soon and need to have time to prepare the pool for my absence. I purchased 3 inch pucks and a dispenser. The last time I will have to...

Big jump in FC this morning. I turned down the percentage on the Intellichlor when I found this number. Here are today's numbers.... FC - 14 CC - 0 pH - 7.8 CYA 60 I will take a reading tonight and see what it says then.....I think the SWG is working though!

We honestly do not get all that cold where I live...maybe six weeks total of temperatures in the 40-50 range. Maybe a week of freezing weather. On those days, we might have a high in the 70s. I might have to rig some sort of pole up to a cup to dip out water to test.....is this a Shark Tank...

Thanks!

Thanks!! I think I am on the right track...if I can just leave for four days and let the pool maintain itself all will be wonderful!! I have a few days...leaving Saturday or Sunday.

Based on your colors...it is probably about an eight. It is definitely not violet. If I add muriatic acid, what other level is that going to affect? Thanks!!

Tuesday, 9/8 FC 8.0 CC - 0 CYA 75 pH - 7.8 to 8.2 ( I am really having trouble getting an exact reading) I am using the small kit in the blue box that came with the kit I ordered from trouble free pools. Suggestions? Salt - 3200 I took out the sock with the stabilizer in it....there was...

I just adjusted super chlorinator to zero. Regular chlorinator is at 65% now.

Tuesday morning FC is 8. I didn't check other levels...I am going to try to find out more about how my SWG works today.....it is still set to super chlorinate. My son complained about the overwhelming smell of chlorine last night while swimming....

Monday morning readings FC - 6 CC - 0 pH- 7.8 to 8.2 CYA - 70 CH - 250 TA - 70 Salt - 3770 (strip) 3350 (display panel) The only thing I have done besides test is to tie some stabilizer in a stocking and hang it in the skimmer. I know I need to do an OCLT, but wanted to see if chlorinator...

Fairly certain it all has to do with operator error....with all of your help, I will get it figured out..then with my brain as a sieve...I will promptly forget it all...sux being 60.

I just went to my control panel and I think my Intellchlor may have been off........I changed the setting to super chlorinate. I want to see what happens over night...and I will add bleach in the morning if the chlorine level doesn't improve...I added salt this morning....but the salt level...

When I was price comparing stabilizer this morning, I came across this gadget. Has anyone ever used this item? Opinion?http://www.lowes.com/pd_655155-39266-NW330___?productId=50292745&pl=1&Ntt=pool+stabilizer

I added bleach...when I tested this morning, there was no chlorine again, so I added bleach...I will try to work on it when it isn't pouring down rain. Thanks for the tip of printing out the chart.

Things look better today.... Unless I am overlooking something.... I added acid and bleach yesterday...and it rained last night..... FC - 4 Cl - 3-4 pH - 7.5 CYA - 80 CH - 200 TA - 70 Does anyone see anything that jumps out of them for these readings? Thanks for your help.

We use the spray bar to try to decrease the water temp and for aeration.....I had no idea it affected the pH...the water is recirculated though the pump.

Thanks...I had already added chlorine bleach...about an hour ago...when will it be safe to add the acid now.....and then when will it be safe to swim? - - - Updated - - - Should I check the FC in the morning or in the evening? I can do either...... Planning a trip and will be gone for about...

I tested it a few days ago.....I think it was Sunday of last week (8/29)....should I be testing daily? Learning curve here is steep...but you guys make it so much simpler...and Thanks!! Sunday's results were FC 8.5 TA - 100 CYA 60 Someone else tested and didn't do Cl, Ch or Ph. I also find...

A week or two ago, I went through the SLAM process to kill algae (green). All has appeared to be fine and we have been using the pool daily. This morning my readings are: FC - 0 Cl - 0 TA - 70 CH - 250 CYA - 80 Ph - 8.2 (as best as I can read) I have added Chlorine in the form of liquid...

My SWG was at 65% before I turned it off to do the SLAM and OCLT last night. I turned it back to 65% this morning. As far as I know it has been running at 65% for some time. Does that sound reasonable? Also, my pump has been running 24/7 for over a week now. I really need to do something...

Yea...I think I have completed the SLAM with success.....with the SWG turned down to zero, there is no FC loss, water is clear and there are 0 CC. Now I would like to work on reducing the FC....even after a sunny day, the FC level was 24 before I added more bleach last night. If I understand...

Thank you!

SWG wasn't off....CYA reading was 80 last night prior to adding chlorine. Have to be away until tomorrow night...I can measure levels tonight if needed, but won't have time to measure tomorrow morning. I will have to repeat the OCLT test Monday night and Tuesday morning....readings were...

Pool is crystal clear.....last night's FC reading was 33 ...this morning it is 30...same as yesterday.....
