After adding 1 gal. acid and 48 lbs calcium chloride: FC 7.0 CC 0.5 TC 7.5 TA 190 Ch 340 CYA 27 Buddy L

Have the test kit in and here are some figures: FC 7.5 CC 1 TC 8.5 TA 240 CH 60 CYA 35 Showing to need quite a bit of calcium chloride. Can I use 'anhydrous'? Also shows to need acid to bring down the alkalinity. Am I reading this right? Buddy L

new test result this am cl is 2 pH is 8.2 + TA is 180 Test indicates acid demand quite high. After I added the shock, altho I cant say really why, except for the 'spots problem', over the last week I have added 2 182 bottles of bleach, as well as 1 gal muriatic acid. As instructed now, I've not...

Not necessarily. The remaining 'dark' spots are an improvement from the brushing. The long areas were once black. So, I figure (and the pool guy said) it was probably black algae, and suggested a steel brush. I believe then that with brushing, I have knocked off the layers, leaving only the...

If you are confused, you can guess as to mine. The darker spots within the lighter are remaining from my brushing with a steel brush. I have no idea where the spots "white" are from, or why they are there. Any ideas? I have no trees in the back *had all removed prior to the build" but there...

I have to agree with the masses. The 'guess work' is killing me. I finally broke down and ordered my own, and altho the principals are the same, I am a stickler for the knowledge a better kit can give you. Otherwise, why are you here? Everyone must share -- that is the real power == not...

Here are some pics, so tell me what to think, & should I make some sort of demand with regard to the 'spot's? Not really litigious, but I am a lawyer, so being ignorant of this sort of thing, I have to ask! Besides, this is a consumer protection environment that I am typing in> Thanks for any...

A pool guy came by and said that the 'stain' looked like a black algae, told me to get a stainless steel brush and go to town. I've scraped it off a couple of times, and it seems it may work, as there are white spots where some of the stain was. Is this a slooooooow process or what? Is this the...

Re: Newbie for sure I just have used the test that the pool man left me (a PoolStyle 5 way), and here's what I got: (haven't gotten another test kit yet) Cl. 0.5 Br 1 pH 8.2 (or a little higher) TA 220 + (to 240) So I just added a lb 'shock' (looked at school, but still don't know how much...

The stains are not symetrical or round, but that is why I thought it was in the surface (defect). They seem more elongated, but I will try the Vit. C deal, and see what happens. How does one go about that however. Put it in a sock, or just hold it on there somehow?

I have stains, I believe, as well in a relatively new pool finished in Sept. last. I initially saw one long 'stain' that I thought was on the finish. Through winter, pool became 'green', and I have shocked that out. But now there are a few darker spots that do not brush out. Yesterday, I...
