Here is a gallery link of pool / spots. https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2594099 ... l?h=94c55d

So what do you think that it is? I'm going on vacation so I'm going to have to have someone else add the bleach (and I'm sure they will just dump some in each day) What a great time for stuff to be showing up in the pool. If I wanted to bring it to 24FC (mustard shock for my CYA level I think)...

Last night I was at 8.5 FC this morning when I got up the sun had been on the pool for about an hour and I'm at 7.5 FC. What do you all think?

Just took my FC / CC so I'll report in the morning. I'm familiar with the overnight test. Had to convert from Bac to bleach have done way too many FC tests in the last 6 weeks. Have the TF100. Currently FC 8.5 CC .25 (This is normally 0) Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think to check that.

Well I just got the house and Jason helped me get everything cleaned up and running well using the BBB method. We have been swimming about every other day and when I take the solar cover off the pool is crystal clear but the bottom is spotted with yellow spots. It isn't sand, or dirt and you...

Sounds great you have been a huge help in all this. Went an hour away to go shopping and get some dinner. found a Leslie's and they had no clue what borates were and no test strips. They looked at me like i was crazy. What causes algae growth? Just lack Of chlorine? can algae grow with 2fc...

Ok. Stabilizer has been in for 36 hours. Pump running whole time. CYA: 25 FC: 2.5 CC: .25 pH: 7.5 I haven't added bleach in 36 hours and I haven't really lost any FC at all (is this due to stabilizer and solar cover being on?) What is my goal CYA and FC? 8600gal. The Pool Calculator says...

Ok, it has been cloudy / raining all day. As I said last night FC:16 this morning FC:19. I thought pH was too high (when really FC threw it off) so I added 16oz pH down last night. Currently (Without adding anything at all today) 7pm. FC: 4.5 pH: 7.5 TA: 120 CC: .25 CH: 140 CYA: 0 (untested...

It had been about four hours in the FC was at 16 the pump ran all night long and now it is at 19 Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Ok. I wondered. So what about the fc going up overnight Is my conversion complete?

So last night I checked pH (haven't done that in a few days) and I was at 8.2 or more. I added 16oz by volume of dry acid which should have dropped me to 7.4 or so. This morning I'm at 8.0-8.2. Any ideas what the heck went wrong? I've had the pump on 24/7 and it is moving the water surface. Do...

Scrubbed the walls and vacuumed three times yesterday. FC was 16 last night. FC is 11 this morning. CC is .75 this morning. There is a really small spot of debris at the bottom that I need to scoop / vacuum out, but WOW the pool is crystal clear. I'm not sure I've ever been in a pool this...

Was overcast most of the day so I was able to keep FC 8+ all day. Been at 16 (apparently too much bleach) for two hours now, we'll see how it is in the morning. Checked CYA today it is 0. Pictures: [attachment=1:27pn5nvc]pool_small.jpg[/attachment:27pn5nvc]...

Status: I didn't read where you were supposed to adjust pH *slowly* so I ended up at 7.1- 7.3 (hard for me to tell, only done 3 of these tests ever.) Brought FC to 15 last night twice. Overnight I lost 7FC, so about 1FC per hour. CC was 3.5 yesterday around 5pm. CC is 3.0 this morning so I...

So should I go lower pH and aerate to bring pH up and TA down? Or is 130 ok or at least ok for the conversion Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Ok, sounds great. Thanks for both of your responses. While looking for the pH down solution (muriatic acid - I found and you suggested) I noticed the calculator asked for TA and Borates. TA is 130 - Should I adjust this? Didn't realize that the TF100 didn't have Borate test so I have no clue...

Just purchased a house with a 12' x 24' above ground rectangle pool. (8600 gal) is what Jason's calculator said hopefully that is right. They used baq last year and we want to use the BBB method. I just got everything hooked up (Hayword 1.5 hp pump) and a 100lb sand filter. Intake is a...
