I passed the overnight test dropped 1 ppm FC-15 CC- 0 CYA- about 10 PH 7.4 I need to get my CYA up to 30 any suggested products or will any CYA work?

well did the overnight test lose 5ppm FC , my CC is .5 so i will keep adding bleach until i pass the test.

Well it looks like i have turned the corner, here are my new numbers: I have been away for a few day and my son put bleach in this morning 8:30 pm FC 2.5 CC .5 (barely the water turned a very very light pink almost unnoticeable) PH 7.8 T/A 150 CYA about 15 I'm going to do the overnight test and...

Ok will do. Just getting a little inpatient. that's all. Thanks

Should i be maintaining my shock levels at 10-12 with a CYA of about 25 instead of maintaining them at around 20? Im having trouble getting my CC to .05 or less and passing the overnight test.

here are my latest number: last night FC- 25 CC-2.5 this morning FC- 18 CC 2.5 PH-7.5 I have been adding chlorine at least 3 times a day. Am i on the right track? the pool looks great. Im trying to keep the FC at 20 or so but i can get my CC to .05 or less. My last CYA (2 day ago) was about 25.

added a gallon of shock before bed last night here are my numbers this morning FC-11 CC- 11.5

Ok i will keep adding chlorine. should i have my baquacile tested. i had it tested about a week ago and they said it was at 4, which is pretty low.

10:00 pm latest numbers FC- 13 CC- 11.5 still not registering much CYA after adding 4.5 lbs last monday. Im going to add another gallon of 12.5 % before bed. Im still a bit confused on a couple of thinks, the pool is quickly losing chlorine and my CYA has not risen much since i added some on...

added i gallon of shock waited about 1.5 hours FC 21 CC 3 Do i keep adding chlorine every 2 hours or so and keep testing? also do i record the numbers when the solution returns clear or should i wait a minute or two to see if it stays clear. Just when i think it is clear by the time i record the...

Ok so just to be clear. I will add 233 oz of 12.5% (says the Calculator) and once i reach 15 PPM i have to try and maintain that until i lose 1 ppm or less overnight and then i raise my CYA to about 30. correct.

can you swim at the higher FC levels greater than 15?

So how do i know when the conversion is complete? Do i keep adding chlorine/bleach until my FC is between 3-7 and my CC is what >.5? What about shocking to bring them more in line?

I hare the TF-100. I added CYA (4lbs) on Monday it seems t be slowly going up. should i add acid to bring down my PH a bit to sy 7.0 that wiil lower my TA as well correct. should i shock it as well or just keep adding Chlorine?

You have to get your CYA up quickly so that your pool holds the chlorine longer. remember bleach bleach bleach. It took me 30-40 gallons to clearup my pool. Also make sure you order a TF100 test kit, it's a must.

I am new to this website but all the advice thay was given to me has helped turn my green cloudy baquacil pool into a sparkling clear beautiful pool, please follow the POOL SCHOOL instructions and the advice everyone gives it really does work. Make sure you vacuum to waste all the algae off the...

Weigelbrood, first off i am from western NY (alden) glad to see your post. I also just recently found this website. I have a 30 foot AGP 18,000 gallons. my kids are 16, 12, and 8. When we decided we wanted a pool 3 years ago i went back and forth between AGP and IGP. My decision came down to...

Yup, and that doesn't include the free product the pool store gave me because i was having such a problem and they had not answers. They must have given me $50-$60 in free product. Quick story, after bitc# up a storm at the pool store last week because if all the time and money i have spent on...

Thanks Dave. My Baquacil sanitizer was 37 and oxidizer 8. I had my pool test Friday afternoon and they said everything was in balance. I used appox. 28 gallons to-date. Some of those were 12.5% vs 6% so i counted the 12.5% as two. I opened my pool the week before Memorial Day and have spent over...

update, I still have to have a full water analysis done which i will have done tomorrow morning but my pools CL reading is 5 and PH 7.8. In 48 hours my pools has gone from an green alge riddlen fully balanced Baquacil pool to a crystal clear beautiful pool. Question, i'm going to continue to add...

OK my wife is going to have the water tested tomorrow while im at a BB tournament. is that what i need tested? FC, CTA, CC, TC and my Baquacil levels to se if they are dropping enough? Anything else???

I can order the kit but by the time it comes the completion maybe done. I guess i will have to wait until monday to have it tested.
