I understand 3 to 4 ppm is not all that unusual daily drop. But here is the issue. My pool gets very little usage and my solar cover stays on for days at a time. Ive had this same scenario for some years now but my fc level never would drop this quick. Not even close. Ive git my Alk at 90 my...

And so Ive searched hear for similar questions but not much i found offering a truly solid answer (at least not that Ive found) Above ground 18x33 oval. opened this past week ago. 2 speed cartridge filter runs on low 24/7 as intended and is what I always have done PH currently barely 7.2 but...

And so I am a little confused. We have our recommended slam level of FC as per the chart in relation to cya. We slam to clear a pool of algae, bacteria or other dirty pool issues. But we also slam to get rid of CC in what may not be a "dirty" pool. My pool is closed and done for the season and...

Having started the methods practiced here as of last year I been very happy and believing in our whole process followed here. And so today I uncovered and opened for the season. To my surprise every test is pretty much spot on. The strange thng is that my chlorine is not only present but I have...

If I want to use a (as recommended) polyquat algaecide for pool closing, how do I know if the one I may purchase is a "polyquat" type of algaecide? Will it state that on the container? And the closing info on this forum says to spread evenly with a leaf skimmer or etc... does this mean such an...

And so I am simply curious. Should I have a need to slam my pool my taylor test kit only goes up to a 5-10 for the top of the chlorine scale. It has a color match scale of (i forget the bottom one) but then 2-4, 3-5, and lastly 6-10. If I had to slam up to say 20 (just for discussion) then how...

I have a Taylor kit. Its actually a Leslie pool kit but is all Taylor reagents and Taylor name on the inside. Its basically a Taylor but simply rebranded. I don't know the taylor kit number as its not indicated anywhere but it has all the pieces for chlorine. alk, cya, hardness,,,etc. My issue...

In the methods of TFP and BBB what abut algaecides? I have a lot of trees around and cean the pool constantly. (BTW its an above ground 18x33) Anyway, my filter (cartridge) is one in which is 2speed and I basically run on low 24/7. That is one method that takes care of most algae problems I...

while my pool chemistry is about perfect at this time (thanks to this site) there is something I cant get past. I wonder if for example one has a TC of10 and a fc of 2 which would mean a CC of 8. If they shock the pool then obviously the FC and CC will change but doesn't then the TC (even if its...

Hello all. Due to recent problems with my pool I been doing a lot of on-line searching and I must say this site is very informative. As I was constantly referring to the web for info I would most often eventually end up back here. This place and its community just seem to simply make great...
