plan to hook up my air compressor to the drain plug on my pump to blow air to clear pipes for closing my pool. My question is this. On the suction side, I have 1 skimmer, and 1 drain. My jandy valve allows me to either have the Skimmer on/drain off, drain on/skimmer off, or both ON. I do...

That would be very good info to know!!!

Morning test FC 23.8 now.... that's 119 drops in the test tube. the reason I say that is because even though I lost 1.2 between last nights test and this morning.... one of those two tests could be minutely off due to the sheer amount of drops and counting.

I drained 7000 of 10000 gallons 3 weeks ago to get cya down. I've tested is about 4 times since then. 99.9% I'm in the range I stated - - - Updated - - - One more thing. I brought FC up to 21 this morning. Came home to 5.8 just now took it to 25. Will check it again in the Am

But my OCLT is .6 to .8. It finally got hot here. Like HOT. And my pool is in direct FULL sun from 10AM until dang near sunset. First couple weeks of the season I was going through 3.5-4 ppm of chlorine a day. The last week or so I bring it up to 8 in the evening. (55-60 CYA). Next morning...

Well... I must have a heavy hand because it took 3 times the amount of ascorbic acid to drop around the perimeter (1.5lbs). But DANG this is working LIKE A CHARM!!!!!

should be doing this tomorrow afternoon. Question on the sequestering agent. Should i I watch the pressure closely on filter throughout this process? From reading what the sequestering agent does, sounds like it might be picking up a lot of nasties that could mean pulling and cleaning filter...

I guess I got lucky then!

Yes water is crystal clear. Test From yesterday morning: PH 7.1 TA 50 CYA 55 FC 4 TC 0 losing about .5ppm of FC overnight

Yes they are iron.... vit C takes it away

Yes sir I took that pic as I was draining the pool a couple days ago. My CYA was 200!!!

Here is a pic you can somewhat tell.

Not sure this belongs in this forum, if not please forgive. Now that I've about got my water right... I need to tackle the stains in my pool. Not Sure what they are. Light brown... patchy.... covers a good portion of the bottom. The weird thing is they were not there when I first opened the...

Yep Virginia Beach. I'll go to 50 upon your recommendation

Tested this morning. FC 4.4 (CYA is at 20, or lower) TA 50 PH 7.1 I'm going to put in 23 ounces of baking soda to get the TA to 60, which should push my PH up to just about where I want to be!!! Feels good to know what I'm doing! POOL DAY IS HERE!!!

Yes... it was. But less painful than spending $70 on granules that may or may not work in 2 weeks!

Very thorough reply keithw, thank you. Yes. 99.9% sure no leak there. It's actually a crack in a prior patch (from when I don't know). I took a very fine pick from my tool box and it appears to be surface. I could not push through anywhere. PLUS the pool is not losin water. I did a temp, ugly...

No I am only using liquid chlorine! Learned that from here. I didn't drain all 10,000 gallons, I'm guessing I drained 7-8,000 gallons. Apparently little TOO much to hit my target. I was at 180 cya, pool math said drain 6800 gallons. I must have went a little over. Hard to tell once the shallow...

The next problem I have is CYA. I drained pool. My k2006 only reads down to 30. I filled the test tube all the way and could still see the black dot. That's why im saying 20. But it could be zero for all I know. I guess I could assume 20, add stabilizer to go to 40, and then test again

Perfect! Thank you! I'm gonna bump the CYA some. To 30 or so and hope it stays there. As for the FC I'm hoping to get into a groove where I pretty much know how much liquid 10% to pour in every evening. 2 nights so far, I'm keeping records! - - - Updated - - - Higher cya will make it stay...

Drained pool (most of it) Wednesday. Was full Thursday morning. Let pump run all day yesterday. I came home and tested CYA. 20 or below. FC was 2.5. I brought it to 4 yesterday evening around 6pm. Tested this am, it was at 3.5. Tested this evening, around 6 (24 hours later) and it was at...

Update... drained yesterday. Was right at full this morning. Ran pump all day and came home and tested FC. It was 2.5 (which I was surprised since I pulled 70% of the water). CYA was I THINK 20'ish. The. K2006 tube only goes to 30, plus it was cloudy outside. How do I do the reverse of what I...

Thank you sir!

Tooo the top. Anyone?

Thank you. I have 4 returns and all of them have good flow. So I shouldn't worry or need to unclog it?

On the shallow end. Sitting on top of the coping. This screw in plug. I unscrew it, and water pours out. Water doesn't shoot out. Just flows over. What is this and what's it used for ????

Here's some pics. Please help!!!!
