Thanks!! Yes, full sun and brutally hot. Is that the general rule, full sun will not result in CC readings?

We're talking a salt water... My neighbour went away. His pool is green green green.....I'm getting 1.5 PPM FC but 0 CC. How is that possible, there is clearly something growing. Should i measure the CYA and proceed with the usual SLAM? I'm not familiar with Salt Water either.

It's been a long cold 6 months of winter....pool is finally open, the water temp is only 46, but it's open!! I seemed to hold a decent amount of FC (6ppm) since November, I was pleased to see that. After all that time, the water is sparkling clear!!. Any next steps to keep the water great all...

Great info, Thanks all!! Can you elaborate on "burping the return lines" I have 2 holes in the skimmer, but if I have a hydro static valve as the floor drain, will the floor drain even be connected to the suction line? Will I get the water out?? Any advantage to foam rope in the return line...

I don't have any valves on the plumbing to close. Would I set the filter to recirculate and blow from the skimmer, sealing the returns when the water is blown out? Blow out the main drain and air lock it? Heater drain plugs out, sand filter drain plugs out and pump drain plugs out at the...

This is my first time closing the pool (pool is 2 years old). I plan on bring the water below the returns. I'm pretty sure the floor drain is a hydro static valve, but i'll double check with the builder. Can someone help me with instructions on how to blow out the lines, which ones, the...

Thanks, I'll give this a try!! We did have some good sun and some heavy kid use yesterday, so not too surprised the FC dropped to 6 by the time I got home from work. I'll bring the FC up to 20 when I get home tonight and keep it there for a couple of days. I can expect some heavy kid usage...

We've had very heavy rain off and on since May, every 3 days or so. The pool is directly under many large Maple trees, Oak trees, and other Coniferous trees. Also had a heavy pollen season which has seemed to just end. Any rain drives debris, pollen ect through our trees into the pool. The...

Do you take an average? When I do that, back to the sun, sample in my shadow at belt level vs. out of my shadow at belt level, I get a variance of 20 ppm....two completely different results.

It's a bright sunny day today, no clouds. Standing back to the sun, holding the sample at belt level, but it's in my shadow. CYA reads 80. if I move the sample to my side slightly, out of my shadow, I get a reading between 50-60. Should I take the reading in full sun light?

yes, I drained it. If it is the filter, I was just hoping that all the sand froze in a clump over the winter and has stayed clumped together since then. I'll try the recirculation and report back!!

I'll give this a try....If it runs at a lower rpm on recirculate, does that mean I have a filter issue? I haven't added anything to the filter (I know better than that, just from being here this short while), we did have a freezing cold winter here in Canada...I just turned it all on in the...

The equipment is less than a year old. Not sure that I've seen a dirty pressure. The pool is so new, haven't had many issues. Opening it this year it was crystal clear and still is fairly clear, needs a vacuum. Max PSI I've seen is 25ish with the pump maxed out. On a low setting, the...

I have the same problem (same pump and heater) - My first thought is that the filter is too small and can't flow fast enough, but I'm waiting for the experts to chime in. What filter do you have?

My heater (hayward H series - GAS) will log a low flow error on anything under 92% pump run speed. This seems very high to me, was hoping to have the heater kit on at more like 60%. Is my filter too small and limiting flow to the heater? I can deal with it, if this is the situation, just wish...

Ladder parts - yes!! Thanks!! I still have one extra plug 5, 6, 7......guess i'll see where the water comes out once the pump i primed...i really only see 2 plug holes, not 4.

I'm good with some of the parts....Some I have no idea!! good good good heater plug?? lower plug on side of pump lower plug on side of pump same plug as 5 and 6....but I can't find where it goes?? no idea where these came from?? rubber stoppers - no idea where these came from??

Does the Ph typically read high or low under these circumstances, it is it just outright not valid. What about the other results?

My pool was bulit/opened in July - been flying blind since today. Just received my Taylor 2006 kit today, so excited for it, better late than never!! Pool looks great, nice and clear. We probably have about 3 more weeks in the season before it is closed, so i don't expect much tweaking, but...

Strange.. I created my signature with all info in it... Not sure why it's not showing up?? New Pool Build July 2016 Taormina In Ground (steel/Liner) 17,100 Gallons. 16x20x32 Hayward SP3200VSP 1.8THP Pump Hayward Pro Series Sand Filter S-220T Hayward Chlorine Feeder CL200EF

In the mean time, can I shut off the chlorinator, stop using the sticks and dump in some bleach or liquid chlorine and hope for the best??? Or bad idea?

Is only brush and filter sufficient? Do I need to add chlorine or algaecide? Should the kids stay out of the pool?

My test numbers are above... Chlorine is actually a little higher for the given CYA in the chart.

It's a new pool and I didn't know any better. I do know the relationship between sticks, pucks ect and CYU. I'll be changing to bleach at the end of this season... We close our pools in September/October around here. I don't have the recommended test kit yet, but I will get one. Very...

I can see the bottom, but it's still pretty cloudy, deep end only. TC 9.8 FC 9.8 PH 7.4 TA 39 - THIS IS COMING UP NOW. CH - 108 CYA - 80 Lots of trees and pollen in the air. Very heavy rain in the last 2 weeks. Had 2 trees cut down, some sawdust and debris was in the pool. When I...

I've ordered the Taylor K 2006 kit, hopefully see it in a few days...seems to be one of the go to test kits?!? Being in Canada the kits are extremely difficult to find. No Cya has been added, expect for a starter 1lb pack of bioguard smart shock...
