Thanks for the update, I will have to check out the site, since I haven't lately. I had to immediately look for pool math, and Thank You for keeping the old one on here. I have had the app since last year but do not like it. I am just someone who dislikes apps, they are confusing and lack...

No, I just drain it down, put algaecide in it and cover. Opened, crystal clear, added water to fill, Took me a couple of days to fill because I was gone a lot it was already getting cloudy because it's unseasonably hot here for the last month . Started filter and then just threw in a little...

I will check into that. Thank you

I agree, Seems that way to me also, and when I test again tonight, its over 100, but it dosen't actually read past 100, the dot is just unseen before I even get to 100 mark. I have tested it at least 6 times now. I have always had trouble with high CYA for years, that is why I finally quit on...

Taylor, Its not my test kit being wrong, so thats why I am so confused. I have actually wondered could the black dot in my comparator tube be not as black as it should be because my tube is a few years old. I even had my grandson look to make sure it just isn't my poor eyesight. I am...

Re: pH, 7.4 or 7.5? Okay thank you, I did find it when I clicked on topic.

Just opened my pool 28' Not filled to top so about 17,000 gallons, round to crystal clear water, always drain down almost half. Refilled and added 2 lbs trichlor without testing (I usually don't use trichlor anymore, just bleach but figured will use up this bucket) Tested next day CYA 70...

How do you start a question on here? I can't find anywhere to ask a question, its been a long time since I have asked one, I don't want to but into someone else's thread to ask, but had too, sorry.

Got back today and the pool is crystal clear with my neighbor just adding half gallon of bleach each day for me. Chlorine at 12 with no CC showing. Thanks to everyone for your comments and advice.

I wouldnt think so my brother did it and he is a pool contractor for 40 yrs but we are getting old. We tore out my 18 yr old pool this yr and replaced everything new before we get older even. It was clear first half of year i let the cya get to 120 and thats when everything went bad.

This morning I had 3 ppm chlorine loss, but I had no CC on my test. Still cloudy. Added more chlorine and now I am leaving, I hope it is okay when I get back next week.

O,k,thank you. - - - Updated - - - No, not really, I havent, i just put the values a couple of times a day into the pool calculator and it tells me what to add in the a.m. And i do again in p.m. last time I added 70 ounces so that's why I just told him a half gallon.

My pool is finally totally blue today, no green tint at all. It is still very cloudy though, so I am thinking that is just dead bleached out algae maybe. I am wondering if I should put some algaecide in it? Any suggestions? I am going to be gone for 4 days so to not (hopefully) lose all the...

It dosen't look better, it looks worse, I can't see the bottom now. I am at 20ppm and 10 CC. this morning. The 10 ml sample was 44 drops and then 2 CC again to clear. I am just going to add more bleach by the pool calculator.

Hi, yes i already ordered more, I used 94 drops of 0871, and only 2 drops of the other to get the CC. I added more and tested again using the 10 sample size and it took 44 drops for FC and 2 again for CC.

OK, thanks, I will check it right quick again, its getting ready to storm again which I'm sure will help it a lot.:p

Hello, I did the 311 ounces of chlorine, more like 325 oz. an hour ago, and I tested my water, and get 18.8 on total chlorine and 10 on CC. Am I testing it too soon because its 18.8 instead of 24 or did I lose that much already? - - - Updated - - - Hi, thank you. I hope so. my memory isn't as...

Re: How much bleach to shock Ok thank you. I have a taylor 2006 - - - Updated - - - Yes, I have read that one, thank you. I think I know it, and then I am reading so much, that I just seem to get confused, after I went back outside, it dawned on me that I saw the chart of CYA and what levels...

Moderator note - both threads merged together I started a new thread on this because didn't know if I should or not since its kind of a different question but here is what it said. Hi, I am thinking I need to shock my pool, yesterday re added half the water since my CYA was 120 and had algae...

How much bleach to shock Hi, I am thinking I need to shock my pool, yesterday re added half the water since my CYA was 120 and had algae mess, so now my levels are CYA 60 CH 250 FC 10 and CC 0.5 TA 150 PH7.4 My pool is still cloudy, I have put nothing in it but muriatic acid since refilling...

Thank you. I will keep exploring the site. I started refilling about 6:30 and it has been pouring rain since about 6:45, so I will be able to start over tomorrow. I will test my water and see what happens.

Yes, thats what I did so I guess its right then? I just am confused where the decimal goes, is 0.6, the same as 6 or is that 6.0 and I thought I had 120 ppm, but you say it is 12?

Okay, Thank you. I did that just now and it is 60, so it is 120. Unfortunately I added stabilizer 2 weeks ago because of my HTH test strips, plus started dosing it with Trichlor, I forgot that had stabilizer in it. I will start my drain shortly today. I was wanting to know if the CH test I...

Yes i realized that after i was up to about drop 49 i will do the smaller one next time.

Hi, I have had a green mess with my pool for about 3 weeks now, and finally ordered a good test kit, which arrived today. I just had time to test a couple things before I had to leave, I think my major problem is my CYA is over 100 so I will have to half drain and refill my pool tomorrow, did...
