Resubmitting my previous post, should you have any helpful advice. :-) Thank you, Brock

TA = 180 CYA at my last check earlier this week, after you had me try the dilution test = 120. I think my TA went up quite a bit, after I put in all of the chemicals that my local pool company told me to put in. My initial posts has the chemicals that they had me add. For the copper, the...

Sorry for the delay. Wanted to provide an update from my readings from Tuesday. After adding the bleach, my readings came back as follows. PH: 7.6 - 7.8 FC: 8 TA: Still high at 180 The water looks clean/clear like my original picture. Should I plan on keeping the Chlorine level high, and...

Also, when you say bleach, does that mean I just pour in something like Clorox Germicidal Bleach with Active ingredients: Sodium Hypochlorite 6.15%, other Ingredients 93.85%? According to Pool Math, I should add 83oz to take the FC up to 7, from 3, does that sound correct? Thanks again.

Thanks. I ran the diluted tests and it looks like my CYA is around 120, after multiplying by 2. I retested some of the other numbers, and got the following to confirm my earlier readings. FC: 3 CC: 0 PH: 7.8 TA: 190 CYA: 120 Is muriatic acid better to use than sodium bisulfate? To confirm...

Thank you. I just ordered the FAS-DPD chlorine test kit that you mentioned. I'll circle back with the other readings. Thanks again!

Thank you, triptyx! I did buy a testing kit, the model I have is the Taylor K-2005, should I look at getting the TF-100 instead? I'll order a Speed-Stir. I checked the pH with the kit this morning for myself for the first time, it looked to be at 7.4, which seems to be in the right range. I...

Hi folks! First time posting, and a newish pool owner. :confused: We moved into our house with a pool last August. When we first moved in, I had a local pool company managing the cleaning and maintenance. I later noticed that they weren't actually coming, when they said they did. So I...
