yes sir will do

Update I have added 4 lbs of clorox stabilizer a few days ago. Test results came out almost perfect.:D FC 7 CC .5 PH 7.4 TA 170 CH 60 CYA 50 I had extremely high TA last year with the original filling, I'm not worried about it I will bring it down with muratic acid and airate to keep the PH up...

Thanks spin, I had bought a 4lb container last August would it still be usable?

So I tested again last night when I got home from work and again this morning. My results are as follows: FC 8 CC 0 PH 7.4 TA 170 CH 60 CYA 0 does this sound correct? The TA is extremely high it took 17 drops to complete the test and multiplied it by 10 like the instructions said. I'm trying...

I haven't added any CYA I wanted to wait until I got my Taylor test kit to measure it. It is alot more complex than the 5 way kit I used last year. I am new to this that's why I came hear to get help and learn. ;)

Thanks Afton, the mid test picture looks identical to my results. Maybe I need to wait longer than the 30 second mixing time for the reaction to take place or possibly I have very little CYA. I had hoped that it wouldn't be to high for the fact I used pucks for the 5 weeks after I finished the...

The water is hazy still slightly clear the 40 came from filling the small tube with solution I mixed in the small bottle to 7ml and then r0013 to 14ml, when I fill the small test tube the black dot is still slightly visible.

Hi I have tested my water with the R 013 but the water doesn't cloud up and the black dot just gets hazy. According to the reading my CYA would be 40. Am I doing something wrong? I have read the instruction repeatedly. Test readings are as follows: Fc 7 Cc les than .3 PH 7.6 Ta 100000 CYA...

I pulled the plug on the pump that came with the pool. it was making a god awful whining noise when it was on, I found a great deal on amazon for the same pump with a 1.5 hp motor instead of the 1 hp the old pump had. and I also ordered a taylor k-2006 test kit to start this season off on the...

Thank you, I will look into that.

hello I'm back after a mild winter. wish me luck on my first full season. I will not be using any HTH, can some recommend a particular brand of bleach for chlorinating

Oh yes it is and I made it worst by doing it the last week of July. When it was 90 to 95 degrees outside. On top of that I cut down 2 30 foot trees with no help in 1 morning that were hanging over the spot for the pool. ?

Thank you I thought it would literally kill me

I'm not much for commentary I'll just let the pictures do the talking

update: pool chemistry is going in the right direction FC 1.5 PH holding at 7.2 because of the aeration trick with the TA dropping down to 220 with over 2 gallons of muriatic acid added over the past 2 days.

I don't have well water I used city water, but you are correct the second day after I filled the pool the test showed no chlorine as I was focusing on balancing ph and ta since my ta reading is super high. I put 3 hth ultra chlorine pucks in the chlorinator and poured a pound of shock in the...

I bought a pool master 5 way test kit to get me started I will pick up a better one after the season is over. I just put out 2k to get the monster put up.

I'm 43, Father of 4, married to a great women. I was given a pool a few years ago, wasn't sure of the condition it was in but the heat wave this year drove me to pull it out and put it up in a week. turned out to be in great shape was able level it within a half inch. Very proud of the fact that...
