Yes! It is wonderful! Just tested wate: FC = 5 pH = 7.8-8 AK = 100 CYA = 50 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just maintaining FC at 8 with CYA at 70.

Readings this morning: FC = 7.5 pH = 7.6 AK = 90 CYA = 60 Looking real good. Now, what do I do to keep it? Just check chlorine everyday or should I add chlorine each morning or night at a maintenance level?

Yes I can do the AA treatment later, later. Still brushing and vacuuming. Grandkids coming this weekend. Hope we're ready by then!

Yes I have done many AA treatments and it clears the stains. No we are not well water but we have iron in our water. I did the photobucket but it will not work now. I'll try another photo site.

Have drained pool again and am starting to fill. Also have iron stains all over steps and walls. I just don't know what to tackle in what order. I am now wondering if this is pollen?? It is like a dust all over the bottom of pool and on sloping sides. ???

Won't let me post picture.

Taylor K-2006

Drained down to 1 foot of water in shallow end. Refilled . Been slamming pool at FC =35 for three days. Nothing has happened. CYA is around 90 - 100 now. I've read about the NaBromide treatments and am about ready for it! Just don't know what product to buy. I have found Yellow Out here...

Oh okay.

Re: Could it be "Chlorine Lock" ???(I know you do not like this term.) We use county water. I have iron also. - - - Updated - - - Is tarp method explained on TFP?

Finally at home for a couple of weeks and can now work on pool. It is full of mustard algae at this point. Test Results: just taken- FC - 0 pH - 7.2 AK - 90 CYA - 200 - I did the test with half tap water and half pool water. So, now am ready to drain some of water. I assume I drain and...

I know y'all are so tired of me posting but I cannot get a grip on this pool this summer. Current Levels -just tested: FC = I get two different readings on either side of pool! = 2.5 and 4 pH = 70 TA = 90 CYA = >100 I mean way off!! This is the first time in weeks I have even gotten a FC...

I am right there with you!!! This is hard. I have done multiple AA treatments this summer and pool is good for a few days then it goes crazy. I am wondering if I have "chlorine lock" (I know that is not PC term here) since my CYA is off the charts and my FC will not stay up. Last ditch effort...

Have done another ascorbic acid treatment. Readings today: FC = 0 pH = 7 TA = 90 CH = 110 CYA = >100 So... water is beautiful blue, no staining. Have put in sequesterant and CuLator pack. Going out of town tomorrow so cannot begin adjusting levels until Sunday night. Why is CYA so high? Do...

Using liquid 10 bleach. I assume he vacuumed to waste.

Lost 6 inches of water due to vacuuming. Had to add about 8 inches. Of course iron staining Coming back from new water but I can deal with that. But my CYA is above 100. Readings this morning: FC 3.4 pH 7.0 TA 120 CH 80 CYA 0ver 100 JUST KEEP ADDING BLEACH??? More water makes the iron worse...

It is city water but full of iron. Ascorbic acid arrived today. - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - I know y'all say TFP is easy but it is not for the amateur. I have been working on this pool for a month and I still can't get it right. I will...

Pool was cloudy. Husband tried to vacuum and lost 6 inches of water; thus, had to add water. Pool began looking a tad green or teal. Shocked with 3 pounds shock last night. This morning FC = 1 but CYA is 140!!!! Grands are here to swim!

Sorry. I've been out of town. Readings now: FC = .6 Cc= .2 pH = 7 TA= 90 CYA = 7 Had little staining so I've treated with ascorbic acid. Waiting to add sequestrant. Then what??

Added another 13 lbs. last night. This morning TA = 75.

1 hour

Analysis tonight: FC = 8 CC = ?? couldn't get reading; sample did not turn pink after adding 5 drops of R0003 pH = still off chart yellow; took 34 drops of R0006 in Base Demand Test to reach 7.0 color TA = 25 CYA = 7.0 I did add 13 lbs soda tonight before testing.

I didn't get that far. I will try to finish the analysis tonight.

I am so confused. I just don't know where to start. Pool has iron stains and I have purchased ascorbic acid powder to treat along with a sequestering agent. I began checking water chemicals with Taylor Kit 2006. But didn't get very far. FC=11.5 and the pH was off chart with yellow colored...

In Mississippi with mustard algae i assume. It is all over the pool, pool walls etc. But none of our poor is in shade. Have tons of people coming in for the weekend. Need to clear it up ASAP! Tripe shock it? No vacuuming? Don't have a manual vac.

Water looks much better today. Still maybe a tad green(aqua). Levels are good except TC and FC; still a bit low. I bought the Culator bags to put in skimmer for metals. What do you know about them?
