Then the video should be edited because that is NOT what the video says.

Normally I wouldn't disagree with anyone here because I'm such a newb but watching the video and looking at the chart here it clearly says the CYA level for a salt water pool should be between 70-80 before shocking. - - - Updated - - - The last time the Green-to-Clean was used was 6/10. And at...

Thanks. You did take into account this is a salt water pool? I am supposed to be between 70-80 CYA.

The dogs haven't marked the pool. They will not even get in it and they are never around the pool unless we are outside with them so we would have seen it. I ran FC test this morning at 6:30am and it was 20, down from 26.5 at 11pm last night. I didn't do or add anything all day having given up...

Any chance one of those cute dogs has "used" the pool. That would definitely eat all the chlorine. Haha, no! Two crazy labs that are afraid of the water. They never get in it.

The shock, algae control, stabilizer, green to clean, clearify....all the stuff to get rid of the bloom which cleared up very fast.

I don't think so. No ladder as the pool is only 3.5' deep with large steps on one side. One light. Everything has been thoroughly scrubbed down after the initial algae bloom a few weeks back. The water is crystal clear now. I've been brushing the pool down a couple times a day thinking there...

Hey guys, once again I'm at a loss. I feel like I need to talk to someone rather than going back and forth here. If anyone is willing to spend 5 minutes with me on the phone please PM me and I'll give you a call. Here's my situation. Yesterday morning my wife and I decided to try and SLAM the...

Yes, it's correct. It turned a very, very light pink. One drop turned it back clear.

OK, Once again I'm at a total loss for what to do. Late yesterday after the sun was no longer on the pool I ran test again and came back with these readings. FC - .5 CC - .5 TC - 1 TA - 180 Taking the advice here I added 130oz of bleach and 10ox of acid to SLAM it. Well, this morning I...

Ok, thanks guys. Sorry to be such a hassle. This is all so new to me. BTW - the water is crystal clear. Looks great.

FC of 20!? The calc is telling me to add another 130oz of bleach to reach FC20. Are you sure I should try to reach 20? That seems off the chart high. It's also saying another 10oz of acid to get the pH down to 7.2 I just want to confirm you meant 20 and not 2.0 before I dump 130oz of bleach...

OK, so after a good night's sleep I don't feel so overwhelmed. After a 14hr work shift yesterday coming home to see almost no change was just a gut punch. I'm not ready to give up yet. So I ran the test again this morning and it's moving in the right direction again. Today the FC is .5, CC is 1...

My numbers are off again. I'm really getting concerned that I'm quite literally throwing money down the drain with all these chemicals. This morning the pH was finally starting to come down and was at 7.5 so according to the pool math calc I added 6 more oz of acid. Well, it's 11pm now and I...

Last night the pH was 7.8 so I added 22oz of acid. This morning the pH is 7.5 so I added 6 more oz of acid. Hopefully this is going to get my pH in line? What about my other numbers? The TA doesn't seem to be moving and the CH is still off the chart at 525. The math calc says to replace 53% of...

OK, so if I'm reading the Pool Math Calculator I should add 21oz of 29% acid to get the pH to 7.2? Hopefully I'm reading that right.

Ok, here's an update after 8 hrs. I added 22oz of acid and 1 quart of bleach. FC = .5 CC = .5 pH = 7.8 TA = 250 CH = 525 CYA = 50 Recommendations?

Whether or not it's functioning properly I'm not sure but the indicator lights seems to say it is. Salt level indicator - solid green (good) Cell Status indicator - solid green (good) Flow - green (good) Output level at 100%. It was set to 60% by the builder but I raised it to 100% at the...

Thanks! I'll do as instructed and report back later tonight or tomorrow. Should I wait and do this in the evening or right now in the heat of the day ok? How long before I should test again?

Richard320, Thanks for helping. Is it possible for the plaster to still be curing 8 months later? Not a lot of aeration because we've rarely turned the spa jets portion on. Here's what the pool looks like. The gallon container says 29% acid. Bleach is one thing I have not purchased. Silly...

AftonJeeper, The water looks perfectly clear and clean. Thanks. I was told by the pool supply place to put 5oz muriatic once a week and that's what I started doing. The pH is just not moving so I started putting 5oz in each day starting 4 days ago and still no movement.

Ok guys, At the recommendation here I ordered the TF-100 kit and it just arrived last night. So first thing this morning I ran all the test and it's not good. I've spent over $200 in chemicals in the past month to try and get things in order and nothing seems to be changing. I'm at my wits end...

Nope, it's 3,300 gallons. It's just a really big spa in reality. Thanks, the TF-100 kit is on order. I'll report the results when it comes in.

Hey guys, first post here. We just had a pool built last year at the end of the season and it's just now getting warm enough to swim. Over the winter I checked the pool about every two weeks and everything seemed to stay balanced. As soon as it started heating up here in the desert it just went...
