Without going to far into that, as long as my levels are good, the chlorine would have killed any bacteria, right?

I had my cya at the correct level last year. I did not winterize the pool. When I tested cya using my Taylor kit, I’m showing no cya now. From reading the abc’s the only way I can reduce cya is drain and refill. So I’m lost. Beginning in September, from hurricane Florence till a few weeks ago...

Thanks guys I appreciate it!

I purchased the Taylor 2006c kit last year. I’ve been searching the threads, because I thought I had remembered seeing that the kits were only good for one year. So I am at the point if that is true, do I just need to order specific reagent. Or do I buy a new kit for this season?

I'm seeing post about preparing for hurricanes, but haven't seen specific post of soft side AGP's. I'm directly in the projected path for the Hurricane, not sure if it is going to be ok. We have horses so I'm trying to get all that figured out, but i don't know if i should be draining the pool...

I'm glad i could help, this definitely seems like a good community of people that help each other out!

I sent you a pm

I work in Fayetteville so you probably wouldn't even have to drive far, I'll count them when i get home tonight

I'll have to look in the cabinet when i get home, but i probably have at least 6 of the 5 pound jugs

All the stores around me do not cary liquid chlorine, and there are 4 close together. I just use the 6% cleaning bleach that walmart sells the cleaning bleach is the same thing and is in a gallon jug instead of the small 3.5 quart i think it is, and it is cheaper!

Welcome, I too am from Fayetteville! When you get a proper test kit, if you need to add CH, i have a whole bunch that was given to me by a friend, i don't have an unground pool, so i don't need it, it is just taking up space!

To bad you aren't close to me, i have a whole bunch of the Clorox brand that was given to me, i have an above ground pool, so it is no use to me

Yeah, it's pretty much having me add 2 quarts daily, very consistent. I'll be going out of town for a few days, and may just tell the wife to add 2 quarts each night when the pump turns on

Just want to make sure these numbers sound good. I raised the FC to 8 like you said yesterday, i just checked tonight 24 hours later, and it has dropped to 4.6. I have raised it back up to 8. Is that about a normal loss i should expect in 24 hours? I will add it was around 100 degrees today, and...

Ok, pool math calculator says FC should be between 2-6?

Ok so I'm still trying to get my cya up to 30, it's getting there because the water is starting to get a little cloudy but just not there yet. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep the FC at 5, in a 24 hour window when i recheck, it's almost like clockwork it will be at around 1.4 and have me add...

Thank you for your response, i checked TA again and it is at 50 now. I think I'm starting to get the hang of testing. I appreciate the help!

I'm still trying to get my CYA up, but in the meantime should i be also bringing up my ph, it is at 7.0, or should i not be worried about anything until my CYA is correct?

Thank you very much for the info! It's all a learning curve, I've read over the abc's a few times but it's different when you are trying to use them

Thank you very much, I'm really liking TFP! Is that really right , only 2 quarts? I'm new to pools, i just thought I'd be adding more.

Ok, i was kinda going by that i had downloaded the app. It asks for CYA, do i just go with the 0 since there shouldn't be any yet? i get this

I appreciate the reply. I updated my previous post, i have some Clorox chlorine stabilizer, says it is 100% Cyanuric acid so i will add that in a sock, I am going to suspend it through the hole in my skimmer lid, so it does not obstruct flow. How do i know how much chlorine to add, with to...

Not sure if I'm doing this right. Ph 7 TA 40 I got the test kit early as i am on vac and had it sent to work. I went and got it. Sunday night i added half gallon of bleach, as mentioned, but last night i didn't get home till midnight and it was raining, so i didn't. When i test for FC it...

Thank you for the reply, should i remove the Clorox tab, if I'm adding bleach from the bottle instead?

First off, I've been searching this site for a week now, lots of good information and knowledge, I'm looking forward to getting my pool perfect using this forum. I just put up a Coleman 22x52, i have filled it with city water, says it's about 10,400gallons. I've added a Hayward skimmer, and the...
