Thanks! I’m at 86%. So I guess ok for now.

Thanks so much for your response. The salt readings were always closer the first couple of years we had the pool. Lately they have been further off, so I just wanted to make sure we didn’t have a problem!

My T-15 is constantly reading 300-500 lower than my K-1766 test. Is this ok? The cell is clean and it’s producing chlorine fine. This mismatched readings are just concerning me.

Thanks SO much!! We’ll get to work…

Thank you so much for your response. How would I know how much water to replace? Also, I’m not sure how my CYA got so high. We added the suggested amount of stabilizer last week per Pool Math.

Here’s a “normal” pic for reference:

Hi! We had iron stains in our gunite pool a few weeks ago. Did AA treatment and it took about a week for water to get un-cloudy. Water tested great and was crystal clear for several days. Today we noticed a greenish tint to the water. Tested again, and again, numbers look good to me (results...

Thanks so much! I read that article, but just didn’t see anything about a SWG or how much liquid bleach to use. I appreciate your response.

Just finished AA treatment for iron stains. Tested water just now after 36 hours. Chlorine is at zero and pH is 7.2. The article says raise chlorine slowly with liquid. My question is- how do I know how much to add? My pool is ~18k gallons. Should I turn my SWG back on as well? Thanks in...

You guys...this is why you can’t trust a blonde to do your water testing!! I just re-tested and got 3400. As you all figured out, I must have had too much water the first 2 times 🤦‍♀️ I am so sorry to have wasted your time this afternoon!! But I am so grateful for this forum for always...

I will double check. I swear, I read and re-read the directions to make sure I was doing it correctly. I remember doing 10mL both times... but I’ll check again!

I used 10mL of pool water. Then it says multiply the number of drops of R-0718 by 200 to get your ppm.

Btw, the cell was very clean when we checked it. Going to have the pool store check the salt level now. We’ll see what their measurement is...

No, definitely not 20 bags!! Maybe 5 total over the past several weeks. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Would it be abnormal for my salt test to go bad? The bottles say good until 01/21. But it took me 43 drops to get it to turn salmon color both times!

Thank you!!

Followed your directions and these were the results: -26.24V -6.27A 3000PPM, then +26.09V +6.54A 3200PPM, then -26.09V -6.46A 3200PPM We will go clean the cell now. It hasn’t been too long since we last cleaned it. But we’ll double check it. I made sure I followed...

Help! Our pool build was complete Feb 2020. Things have been going well with water chemistry until recently. We have been adding salt the past month or so as the cell keeps saying low salt, so we’ll add a bag or 2 to bring the numbers up and it will be fine for a week or 2, then it will show...

PebbleSheen Blue Surf with Desert Sand shelf. 3.5’ shallow end, 8’ deep end.

Kim, the shelf seems to be a hit with the kids. My 11 y/o uses it as a wrestling area ? (even in the rain!) Oh, and jumping from the rocks is their absolute fave!! As for the adults, the spa has been the biggest hit so far. We’ve had a very mild spring (unusual), so I’m sure that will change...
