Just checked the FC 34 CC zero ?? the pool is noticeably clearer and less green! big difference in 2 hours - - - Updated - - -

ok added the DE took one cup and it went up one psi hoping it will clear :) thanks again

ok CYA is 80 may be a little less; FC last night was 33 and CC zero this morning 26 and CC.5 at. I added 128 oz of bleach and at 1100 am FC is 34 and CC is 1. The pool is noticeably less green and i will add the DE now, getting sunny so will test in a couple of hours. I may well start...

so shocked the pool with 300 oz of 10% Cl bleach, pump will be running overnight PH was 7.2-7.4. I will check CYA again tomorrow, didnt have time this evening, just checked 21.50hrs FC is 33 CC zero, pressure is up to around 4 psi. I will check the OCLT first thing tomorrow morning and if...

ok so i think I may have a problem with an algae bloom so i think I should raise my Cl to 28 to shock it and run the filter 24/7 on high! any one care to say yea or nae?

Ok managed to work out how to attach the pictures doooh! Could it be that I may need to add DE? Everything was working great until Tuesday? so maybe not PH7.4 TA 125, FCl 14 CC zero? - - - Updated - - - I also noticed that i need to change my filter medium in my ozone generator whats the view ?

ok well I turned the pump off Backwashed until clear, rinsed until clear then put it back to filter and it all seems to be working but the pressure gauge only shows 2psi the water doesn't look as if it is being filtered although i have water coming out of all the oulets and the polaris is...

actually I think my filter has an air lock it isnt picking up the pressure how do I bleed the filter or reset everything ?

ok after 3 inches of rain the results were ph 7.8, TA 125, FC 6 CC zero. The pool was sparkling over the weekend but is a bit cloudy now but not bad, can i ask for some advice again please :) I replaced my burnt out spa light so turned off the pumps and let it drain down until i had a dry area...

Hi all yep my incoming water has a TA of 270!! I have just brought my FC back up to 8-9 from 4; I seem to be using about 2ppm per day in active sun, with heating and with bathers, we had a family weekend! The Ph was 8.0 plus and TA was 175 so have added acid to bring it down by around 20ppm...

i am having no problem keeping my ph in bounds, but i keep having to add acid to reduce my alkalinity, I added another 32 oz yesterday and expected my Ta to reduce from 150 to 130 ish. Today ph 7.4, Fcl 9 CC zero, TA 160 and TH 275. Am I doing anything wrong or is this just the great big...

ok ph 7.4 Fc 7 CC zero Ta 100 water looks superb, just added 12 oz of Cl to bump it up to 8

roger that, I always brush as well. This morning PH 7.4 TA down to 170, new Chlorine test results 7.5 FCl and zero CC. It seems that 32 fl oz of muriatic acid reduces my PH by .4 and my TA by around 20 ppm. I have just added another 32 Fl of muriatic acid so am expecting 7.2 and 150. I will...

do i leave the pump off when i add acid, brush and wait 15 minutes or leave the pump running, I remember reading about not letting the acid go straight into the skimmers ?

i did all that, i remembered the brushing from one of your older posts! The results today were PH 7.7, Fcl 8 Tc 8 no noticeable difference between colors, I still wait for my fds test, TA 190, TH330, The water is clear although the weather is overcast! I wish I knew how the chemistry worked...

ok thanks I have added the CL, water looks great I will wait an hour for mixing then start aerating using the spa whirlpool jets! this is like juggling!! - - - Updated - - - sorry did you say only wait 5 minutes? apologies I thought you would have to wait longer- but its chemistry i guess?

Ok waited an hour after putting half in and PH down to 7.5 acid demand to 7.2 was 2 so put the rest in and will wait another hour to test PH and TA.

ok pool looks clear, almost sparkling no smells discoloration or cloudyness: Figures Fcl 4.5 TC 3, CC 1.5? PH 7.9 to 8.0, TA 205, Th 325. I know I need to lower my PH with Muriatic acid, but my TA is more worrying. Do I drop my PH to 7.2 and then aerate ? any help thanks - - - Updated - - -...

Awesome, I checked my cya 2 times, but I will check it again tomorrow. I trust nothing at the moment ! Lol!

BTw have drained and refilled another 6000 gallons bring my exchange up to around 10000 galls or 60 to 65 %, The pump isnt on yet but the tests so far are: FCl 2.5, TCl 2.5, ph 7.6, TA 200, CYA 70, TH 250. The TH test was pinkish rather than red and purple rather than blue which is metal ion...

yep I haven't got the lamp out yet, waiting for the gasket to arrive! It seems to require just a normal halogen edison screw in bulb! So why the price difference or am I missing something? Can I use any 100w 120v T4 mini Candelabra halogen?

i need a spa light a sunlite ltc 120v 100w T-4 mini can halogen bulb and seal etc any ideas?

just ordered the fas test thanks Texas Splash! The test looks like the 2005 or Tf 100 test kit without the FAS. My cya was 110 on the 50% water/50% pool test - - - Updated - - - thanks guys back to the dumping water !!
