New tests last night Still learning, not sure how i can mess up drips in a speed stirrer. Oclt. 3 fc at 9pm, 3 fc at 5am? Test says for testing chlorine over 5ppm? Poolschool says over 3ppm for testing. I.ll up my fc for tonight's test. From last night 3 fc 7.5 ph 70 ta 350 ch 30 cya Not...

Back at it Fc impossibly went up overnight Dropped 2.0 in 24 hours but my late night sample was 3, early morning was 4? Obvious test error. My ta is still screaming high at 200 My ch is high at 350 Ph 7.5 Will test cya tonight as i added chemicals at 8 last night. Hoping i can get my test...

I did not know that, guess i.ll just overnight chlorine loss test for my next post and redo the ta test wiping the dropper after each drip.

Yes, speedstirrer, i was getti g nervous after 20 drops. I did not wipe tip. Need to follow instructions better. I will test again tonight after dark. Ta seems screaming high. As my ph was also high 7.8 i added 2 quarts muriatic acid. And some dry stabilizer per poolmath. I will test...

Figured out you need to click on the poolmath tabs for what to add. Thanks again for everyones help. I think holding chlorine with a lower cya is a good start. Hopefully oclt checks out tonight. Still lots of things to do. I wish i found this before trusting pool store. Oh well, on right...

6 fc 0 cc 6 tc Ph 7.8 Ta 270? Ch 175 Cya <20 Where do i go from here? I.ll do an overnight chlorine loss test tonight.

As requested. Its clear but its difficult to see the spots, area around drain is existing staining. Last pic for ref

The non-Grunite pool store solid me this stuff. The Grunite pool store tired to warn me, (granted being too new this i was blindy following the 1st place as they sold me the water). As my walls were already stained or so i thought I figured how bad could it be. Guess I know better now. I...

800 dollars as my pool is more than 150 feet from the road, otherwise it would have been only 700 for 15k gallons. I believe there water was fine, tested and usable, it was the existing water that was left from the rain, i'm sure was over 75 degrees and had been sitting for weeks. I wanted to...

well my algeacide has copper so that's where that came from.

Understood, that filtering will not remove algae. I'd prefer to not run it continously but it seems to a good way to turnover the water and keep the chlorine mixing (that may not be a thing though?) Its currently running and has been since last night. (It ran continously until monday 5am...

Thanks, I'll visit ocean state job lot and head there after work to get some Liquid Chlorine. I first contacted Northern Pool and Spa about the pool back before i tried to get it sorted. Like most places local they don't touch Grunite (but happy to help with chemicals and such) and of course...

Will do, USPS lists from NC to Maine is about 2 days transist. So hoping ot see kit sat or Mon. I can also get pool shop to test tonight on way home from work. (Gambling I know as they recommended the phosphate killer last time they tested and c.c and the f.c was low) Thanks for the great...

Thanks for the quick response. I'll get some liquid chlorine tonight. (have the babies baptism next weekend, was hoping the pool would at least look nice for the family to see) With any luck i'll get there. Are there any other options for pool testing that i can use to get started unitl my...

Hopefully ADMIN can transfer this post if water chemistry is the wrong forum for asking this question. Hate to start an introduction off this way but here goes. (new to pools, finally understand what i have for equipment but still lots to learn on how it all works) Started with a pool that...
