Thanks for the advice. I'll follow up with the steps you suggested.

@mknauss Interesting, didn't realize that anyone can see the logs from PoolMath. The data is updated in the logs now.

So I'm finished with my pool drain, cleanup, new filter cartridges, etc. See this thread for some discussion. The pool looks pretty now :) My readings for today are: DATE___ FC CC pH TA CH CYA Salt Borate Temp CSI 10/8/19 3.0 0.0 7.2 90 200...

So, what do you use for Chlorine?

I have no way to check the batch dates for Hasapool. Just my own testing, which I didn't do a very thorough job of. Hence, just my gut feel. My last CH reading was pretty high, @ 475. Looking at the HomeDepot option as well. Do you have experience / info about it...

Thanks for the comments, folks. My test kit is Taylor-k2006, which I've used for the last couple years. My last readings were pretty abysmal: FC: 1, CC: 1, pH: 8.0, CYA: 40 I did read up on the SLAM method, but I just couldn't get the chlorine levels up. Thinking about how much Cl I'll have...

I bought it last week at HD Chandler as well, so still available. It was in the pool chemicals area in the outside yard.

I see, so there is no built-in way in pool systems to drain the pool. Yes, was thinking that the incoming water is hard, desert living! I'll assume the pool gets its water before the water softening system comes in, will try to measure its CH/TA.

Wow, overwhelmed with the quick response :-) Thanks. Should have mentioned that my pool looks very clean and blue. And today, the spa felt very nice with no skin irritation, etc. Didn't go in the pool, too cold. MarianParoo, I measured CYA with the instructions in the toolkit, which sound...

I have just acquired a home with a pool / spa, and starting to learn about it and would like to maintain it myself. I live in Chandler (Phoenix), AZ. IG 20k gallon plaster pool (30' x 16' x 6') with spill-over spa (6'), circa 2005 2HP WhisperFlo pump w/ AOSmith Century Centurion motor, Pentair...
