Another question, should I have him turn off his SWG for now? He’s at 30 FC and we can add the gallon of liquid a day until we get the water turned over (and we will need to do liquid anyway during the SLAM portion).

I really appreciate the thoughts on the testing. I’ll order some more of the reagent and we can get some more precise cya measurements without me trying to skimp on reagents. In the meantime I think we are going to start the water exchange with about 18 inches which puts the water just below the...

That’s where I was at —- even if cya was closer to 100, we’d still need to start exchanging some water, so might as well get that started and get a more accurate test at a midway point. Is there any reason to be concerned that this water exchange might take some time? Am I right that as long as...

Hi all! I’m new here and several of you helped me start up my pool, and it’s looking great. So great, in fact, I’ve talked up these methods to everyone I know, and my family members are all relying on me to help them get their pools on the straight and narrow! Which leads me to my...

My kit arrived today! I felt like a little kid with a Christmas gift getting to open it up and perform all the tests! ========================================== Backyard ------------------------------------------ Build Type: Plaster Volume: 14000...

Thank you! And yes, we are definitely brushing! Have a good little routine going :)

Yes, I entered in the pool store stuff wrong. According to their test, the CC is 0 and TC is 1.1. Sorry for the confusion on that! I’m still learning! The pool looks crystal clear to me :) I’m using only liquid chlorine since I found this site over the weekend (before that we had used about 10...

Ok, these are the test results of the water from the pool store since I don’t have my kit in yet. I’m going to add the rest of the calcium in a couple hours and then more liquid chlorine. Is everything else looking ok until I get my test kit? ========================================== Backyard...

Ok, great! Thank you! Edit: I’ve added 5lbs and will take some water to the pool store at lunch and get the printout. Add some more late afternoon to get closer to 100ppm worth.

Thank you for the response! I have most all of the articles printed out and am making my way through them and highlighting stuff to remember for later! The only way I have to confirm the low CH is the test strips, which are measuring the calcium at teal (0 - 50 ppm). I can take some water to...

I'm a new pool owner and found this site while trying to research how to test my water. I've ordered the T100 kit and went out yesterday to buy the liquid chlorine. I have used the small bucket of trichlor tabs our contractor left after getting the pool started, so I'm hoping that was enough...

Our pool was just finished about a month ago I and found this site while trying to research how to test my water. We've loved our pool so far and I'm glad to have found a source of information to help us keep on-track with maintenance and upkeep!
