This mornings numbers FC-12 CC-.5 PH-8.0 TA-150 Sunday mornings numbers FC .5, CC-1.0 PH- 7.6 TA-120 Had the beginnings of an algae bloom (ran out of chlorine for a day). Water never got cloudy always crystal clear, but had two small slimy spots which I scrubbed up. Sunday tested, slammed...

I was having problems with fine dirt settling on the floor of my pool. I only had the venturi style vacuum to use and all it did was blow the dirt straight through the bag and back into the water. I found an easy hack to help eliminate that problem. You will need a/c pool filter ( for my vac...

Thank you so much. This will come in handy!

Last night test chlorine only FC 3.5 CC 0 This morning: FC 3 CC 0 PH 7.8

There seems to be a spot or two. I scrubbed them up. I will do another OCLT again tonight but last night there was no FC loss and no CC with this mornings test.

I added CYA to bump it to 40 on 7/1, finally got test to read 40 on 7/3. Seemed to keep the FC loss to 2-3 a day. Yesterday kids said pool felt slimy on bottom. I decided to bump FC to 8 from 6. There isn't any cloudiness today. I did OCLT test last night. No loss of FC. So, no cc doesn't...

The water gets a bit cloudy by the end of the day but is clear in the morning. I have a venturi style vac which doesn't get the fine dirt just stirs it into the water. The pump isn't greatest either but working on getting an upgrade. I will bump up my cya and fc as suggested and let you know...

My pool is the style that has pump, skimmer and filter on side of pool wall. It's not doing it's job. I get an accumulation of dirt and dead bugs on pool floor and surface. The only style vacuum that can be used is a venturi style and all that does is stir the water, causing hazy water and...

Now that I know CYA is not high I'm off to purchase it. Thank you for the clarification on the ppm, I was so lost and intimidated by all the chemicals. I have been reading Pool school, ABC's and Rec. pool chems. Thank you for the Chlorination link as I had not yet seen it. I have also been...

Thanks, I have been doing tons of reading, which has resulted in tons of returns and new purchases. My k-2006 kit arrived today and I'm learning to use it. So far so good!

Pool has been up 6 days. I put 2 1inch pucks in on day 3 and added 2 more on day 4 when I tested (with a strip) and it said 0 FC and 30 CYA. On day 5 I found this site and promptly removed my pucks, did the chlorine calculation and added 8.25% bleach. I also ordered the K-2600 kit so I could...

My readings FC-0 CC-0 PH- 7.6 TA-90 CH- 120 CYA-0 I had been using pucks but after reading here I removed them and went to 8.25% bleach until my k-2006 arrived today. My water is the tiniest bit hazy compared to a week ago. No smell or sliminess. When testing FC the water never turned pink...

Hi, all. New to pool ownership. Bought my pool on Friday 17th of June, built, filled and swam. Suddenly occurred to me I needed chlorine so off to the store I went. I bought all kinds of stuff, threw a few 1 inch tabs in my filter per the pool instructions. I then decided to come online and...
