I have a Taylor K2006 test kit. The CYA test where you look at the black until it disappears is very subjective for me. I have horrible eyes. The local Leslies admits their testing is unreliable. Does anyone know of a more accurate way to measure CYA? For anyone who lives in the SouthWest, how...

Got some numbers today Temp - 62 Fc - 5.4 Cc - .2 Tc - 5.6 PH - 8.0 TA - 80 CH - 350 CYA - 60 I thought my test kit (Taylor K-2006C) came with a Salinity Test, but not so. Have one on order. May pick up test strips in the mean time. The water seems to have cleared up today. Still a bit of fine...

The water isn't "cloudy" per se, it's just not as crystal clear as b4 the addition of salt. Chlorine levels were good b4 the addition of salt and the SWG. Plus, as an added bonus, there were 2 days of strong winds which blew fine sand everywhere, including my pool. I have a decent test kit...

The water seems a bit cloudy, how long for this to go away?

Cell is off, pump is running and I have a good test kit that includes salinity test. I know every pool is different, but anyone have a general idea of a starting point on the cell?

The pool guys dumped the salt in, installed the components, turned it on and split. I've been brushing it and the sand around since they left, salt is dissolved and blinking "high salt" light is now solid. I would have installed the thing myself but it wouldn't have been warrantied.

SWG installed this morning! They put in a Pentair IC40. I'm headed down in a bit to get some saltwater test strips and a sock for the skimmer basket. The wind howled pretty bad last night, pool has plenty of sand in it, plus the salt has yet to dissolve. I'm gonna let the pump run for 24 hours...

Ordered an advanced test kit yesterday. Used a test strip and it indicated my CYA was below 40, last Leslies test put it at 50. Haven't put a tab in the pool in over a week. Picked up some 10% Great Value liquid chlorine at Wally World. Gonna go the liquid route until SWG is installed. Talked to...

CYA is at 50 according to local pool store testing.

Begging pardon in advance if I keep going over the same questions. I'm going to switch from the the Jumbo Tabs and Chlor-Brite to liquid chlorine and obtain a better test kit. The main reason for going away from the tabs is they raise CYA to a level where chlorine in no longer effective...

I'm reading all the articles in the library as we speak, er, type. Will adding salt to my pool make it "feel" better?

I've got the Pentair kit that came with the pool, tests for PH and CL. Going to get the Taylor 2006 or similar. How/why is the TF100 better value-wise? I see it costs a bit more on Amazon than the Taylor

I've read it AJ, watched the video's too, but it's still a little murky (pun intended).

I too would like to convert to a salt generator. From what I've read the water feels much better. Is this a result of the salt? Can I add salt to improve the "feel" of my conventional pool? My in-laws had a SWG installed with their pool some 18 years ago and said it went bad after a few months...

The tablets are the Leslies Jumbo Tabs

Hello all. New pool owner and member here. Fantastic site. Plan on doing the maintenance myself. I have the time and inclination. The builder left me with a basic kit that tests PH and Chlorine. I've had the water tested weekly by the local pool supply company in addition to the daily testing I...
