I just drained half my pool because of CYA being to high. When I check for calcium hardness it’s telling me I’m at 150. I want to bring it up but am hesitant because of AZ being notorious for having hard water. I check the fill water and it comes out to 25ppm. Is there anyone in Surprise that...

Should I worry about calcium hardness being low? I'm in Az and I know the water is hard here but every time I test it's 175-200. Am I testing it wrong? I'm following the directions in the TF-100. I tried to buy some calcium chloride at the local pool store and they talked me out of it. The pool...

Can someone tell me what this could be from looking at my levels? I've thought about bumping the CH up but I don't want to do anything with hardness until I know what the ring is from. Pool store almost refuse to sell me calcium chloride since the water in Az is hard to begin with. Everything...

I finally received my TF-100. Been testing all week to get a feel for the pool. I know I need to partially drain to bring CYA down. But I am smelling a hint of chlorine. According to the math, CYA 125 X .075 my chlorine should be 9.3 or no lower than. BTW.. I'm no longer using trichlor pucks...

So I'll list the mistakes that I have made since my pool was built and finished last September. 1. Didn't find this forum soon enough! 2. Used nothing but tricolor tabs since the pool was first filled. 3. Using only test strips since the pool was first filled to check levels. 4. Let the...

Glad I found this website.. it almost saved me from completely messing up my new pool. Unfortunately I found TFP a few days too late and I ended up adding CYA when it wasnt needed on top of using nothing but trichlor pucks and test strips since the pool was built last year. Needless to say I...
