So yesterday out of the blue, my pool pump was not on. I checked the breaker and it was tripped. I reset the breaker and it tripped instantly. The pump is wired to 115v. I removed the 2 wires from the pump and turned the breaker back on and the breaker remained on. I checked the voltage at the...

Did the oclt test. 5.5 last night and 5.5 this morning. The water was 86 yesterday and direct sun from sun up to sun down.

No solar cover. I'll test it tonight. I'll report back. Thank you all! My wife did get in it today. But not more than 30 minutes.

Is it normal for FC to go from 7 in the morning to 3 in the evening with 90° weather of all sun? Given a cya of 40.

Interested as well...

Yes I did round up. I tested the same water about 10 times lol. It was around 35-40 everytime. Awesome. How often should I test everything? What should I test daily? How often should I run the pump daily? Also... I'm leaving for vacation Sunday and coming back the following weekend. I have...

Just checked CYA and it was 40. What should I be doing next? Maintenance mode?

Oh yeah. Can see the bottom clearly. Did a test last night into this morning. FC last night 9.5. FC this morning 9.5! I'd say that's good lol. Did a test this evening (10pm) after everyone swam. FC-11 {I added bleach around 4pm to bring FC from 5 to 10} CC-.5 pH-8 (added MA) TA-150 CH-300. I...

Water looks great!

Sounds good! New results tonight... FC-7 CC-.5 pH-7.5 TA-150 CH-350 I added bleach to bring it up to 10 before heading to bed. Will retest tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

Cool. Ill leave the sock in and test in a day or two?

Water is perfectly clear! Should I pull the sock out or leave it in?

Last night I tested FC and it was at 6. So added correct amount to bring it up to 10. Waited probably an hour retested and it was at 11.5. Went to bed and woke up before any sun came out and retested. FC was 11!!!!!!!YES!!!! CYA was still about 20. So I added the correct amount to bring it to 30...

All great info. And ideas lol!!

Did a quick test of FC and CC. FC= 10!!! CC=.5 I think this is going pretty good!! I feel like a mad scientist!!

Gotcha. Thanks!!!!

Sweet! So just to clarify... On the calculator... Current FC=4.5 Target FC=10? Water looks great. Perfectly clear.

New results as of this morning! FC-4.5 CC-.5 CYA-20 PH-7.2 (maybe 7.1) TA-130 CH-350

Found out my mistake. On pool math I didn't add in my TA of 220. So therefore told me to add 5.4 oz of MA. Now that I'm adding the TA in it tells me to add 85oz of MA. Sound right?

So add 5.1 oz of MA?

pH is around 8. Not as dark as the 8.2 but not as light as the 7.8

I know that pretty accurate because my cousin used his 5k gal tanker truck. And dropped off 3 loads. I take that back...he had some water left over in the tank so maybe 14800 or 900 ish. My pool is a weird shape so the calculator isnt accurate. It's like an oval with octagon shaped ends. But I'm...

15000 gal.

So I competed my FC test...6.5. 13 drops. But I think my mistake. Someone mentioned add bleach to get up to 5ppm. So I went into the calculator and put the now=0 and the target=5. Which came out to 112 oz. I went ahead and added the whole gallon thinking it's close enough. Not sure if I did the...

So I've added the bleach (waited 25 min) then added the MA. I have about 15 minutes left before 30 minutes is up from when I added the MA. So my next step is to test for FC. If all is good should I add the sock of stabilizer to raise my cya?

But I should get my pH and CYA under check first correct? Then move to SLAM. I can see the bottom of the deep end perfectly. I had a SLIGHT bit of green in the pool a few days ago but added bleach at night and brushed the pool. Seems that all the green is gone for now. Should I still slam?

So target FC of 12???

GREAT! I was a little worried about the pH being high. And the TA. I don't have a list together but I do now! Thank you!! I will gather these and go from there. Thank you all very much!

I have my results! FC-0 CC-.5 CYA-0 pH-8.2 TA-220 CH-375 Hopefully those aren't beyond fixing lol.

Great information already!! Thanks! Cant wait to post the results.
