my pool is same size and that's about what I use. My CYA is around 40

outstanding!!!! I only just started and my pool looks better than ever. I'm spending chump change compared to what I used to.

Yep. Liquid chlorine is so rare that Tom Thumb has it in their pool section. :D I am with you. I buy the 3 jug at Sam's club. It works great.

Thank you all. I learn every time I come here. :cool:

No offense intended. I'm new to testing. I'm getting faster and faster. It makes you more invested in taking care of the pool, if that makes sense. The guy at the store, unless he is exceptional, isn't invested in getting accurate results. If you are doing the testing, you will be.

Two chefs in the kitchen isn't going to work. You are trying to have cake and eat it too. You don't want to pay for testing, so you use the pool store. You don't want to pay their price for chemicals, so you go to wherever. You don't want their advice, so you come here. When I used a pool...

I ges that makes sense because we are looking at quantity using known volume. Were we simply doing qualitative--is it there or not--positive or negative----any color change would do. Simple I guess but my old atrophied brain needed to have it articulated again. Thank you.

Stupid process question but here goes. When testing and adding the reagent (titrating) where is your end point? Using the speedstir is frequently see the first hint of color change then a small but easily noticeable change, then one drop or more and a full color change. I'm tempted to take...

You have clear water. Some people show up with a pool out of a sci-Fi movie. These guys are great here. They will get you squared a way. Im new myself and don't know much but I have awesome looking water. Welxome.

Good morning. Thanks for info. Will be working on stuff slowly I intentionally waited for cool weather to be close so that any mistakes I make will be in a more forgiving climate.

CSI 0.6 I''ll monitor Ph daily for awhile and see how it goes. I'll study up on overnight test.

after chemical adjustment. K--1000 daily test Ph 7.5 Cl- Positive Well, we can proceed!!!!! Free Chlorine----6 Combined Chlorine----0 Total Chlorine----6 Calcium Hardness---500 Total Alkalinity 200 CYA--60

Just getting started----pool looks great but.....:D Been at working until 8-9pm last few days. Wife was mistakenly adding Muriatic acid instead of chlorine liq. :o Pool Test Results: Robertson's Pools--Frisco--Automated Testing Sat Index 1.1. TDS 1400 CYA 75 Total Cl- 0.1 Free Cl- 0.1 Ph...

From one new guy to another, welcome. You'll enjoy this site and learn a lot.

This might be the nicest forum on the internet. :D

Soon, I hope not to need them. I found Arm and Hammer NaHC03- 13 lbs for 5 or 6 bucks at Sam's club. Bleach----I'm learning here. Date codes etc. And I guess the other thing is Borax. Which I have seen at Wally World. ETA: DING!!!!!! Buffering Capacity was the concept I was searching for...

Now, we have backwashed several times as we had a filter problem (replaced the old panel) and had plenty of splashing with a bunch of kids over the summer. So, we lost volume. Volume replaced out of garden hose. :D Balance pak is what bioguard calls NaHCO3- or baking soda. I wasn't going to...

Congrats on pool. Despite the work, they are awesome. Lot's of pool smart folks here, they will get you squared away.

Will give it a try. I was able to delete the pic of friend's pool and kids.

That second pic with kids is not my pool. And I can't get the pic out. Not familiar with y'alls forum tools etc. yet.

My water is clear now. It looks good. Because 1. I read stuff here. 2. Fired pool service. 3. Had to go to pool store but tried to be smart. I would buy muriatic acid from them and chlorinating liquid as well as balance pak. 4. I stopped using chlorine tabs. Got my CYA down to 40-50 over time...

Working on it. Test kit ordered. They had a special on the magnetic stirrer. Searching files. Old pic. We have new fence now. Will search for something that shows the whole thing. - - - Updated - - -
