thanks for your help everyone. Things are under control now. I am going to aerate to get borate down FC 5.5 CC 0 PH 7.2 ALK 60 CYA 30 PHOS 250 BORATE 80

Thanks

Also still bewildered by the drop test. 10ml sample slowly turns pink after adding powder. Once I get it clear it slowly returns to pink

If it is the shock what is to be done now

Not sure and have discarded the bags . CC was already hi when I put it in

This is my second year so I am sure I am still making mistakes

I will start that process now. What about my sample turning back t pink without adding b/4 adding 0003? I did put in a few bags of old shock while I was waiting to get chlorine and stabilizer. CYA was zero after. Why?

How soon after adding chlorine can I test

thanks Texas I also have a K1106 phosphate kit and i use borate test strip. I added that to my signature. Forgot to list that my CYA is now 40. I think I am following the SLAM process just thinking I have not given it enough time. according to the chart i should now get a 16 FC for a CYA of 40...

pulled the cover off and water (1/3 left) was nice and clear. my numbers below. Curiously have not had any loss since removing the cover (cool and cloudy weather) all though there were time with cover on when no loss occurred. I know a possibility is I pulled water from the pool when pumping the...

i pulled he cover off, i will start inspecting. Any recommendations for repair kits?

pool cover was empty for a week and I still had loss

would i have evaporation with the cover on?

my 27' pool was installed last spring. drained it to skimmer level and covered it in fall. regular winter here in Georgia. I lost most of the water. I foolishly started re-filling then realized my error there. I have lost 5 inches in a month . Pool is now at 19". Can anyone recommend a patch...

sorry, i meant chlorine generator

I am looking to buy a hayward salt generator for my 17K above ground pool. I understand about sizing but can someone tell me the difference between Return Jet Fittings and Hose/Pipe Fittings. My hayward pump and sand filter are currently hard plumbed with pvc. thanks

thanks newdude.

I am looking at getting a pool cover. What are the thoughts here on mesh versus solid?

t hanks for the feedback

i found an inexpensive bleach (1.99 / 121 oz) but it does not show chlorine percent. it does show 1 oz bleach to 1 gal water = 200 ppm. Is there some math to calculate percent from that?

mknauss i understand that. I am curious as to how the pool store thinks. knowledge is power.

in case anyone wants to see my complete test

i have been following the BBB method for about 6 weeks now with great results. I use the taylor TF100. After complete test i take the sample to my pool store just as a sanity check. (a little paranoid while i am learning.) I am not interested in their recommendations just want to compare there...

thanks. I am trying to get to 7 and think i now have a proper methodology. I appreciate the input

Overnight Chlorine Loss Test last night 4.0 this morning 3.0 i think i found my problem though, I have been testing in the morning and adding in the evening. Should have been obvious but that's what rookies do. Finding TFP and starting BBB has been life changing. reduced work load , reduced...
