Yeah I plan on that once I get home in a week or two. Thanks.

What dry acid are you suggesting and where do I get some? Never used any before. Thanks for your help.

I’m guess the chlorine went high while the wife was gone due to winter approaching. Ph creeps up every week and we add acid to bring it back down. She just hasn’t added it yet. one other idea is the previous owner said her kid and his friends would throw change in the pool and go dive for...

Fc 18 Ph 8.2 TA 90 CH 400 CYA 60 Salt 3200 Temp 73* chlorine creeped up while my wife was visiting me in Texas where I’m working. She has turned off the chlorine for now.

How do I share my logs on pool math? The three things I have added to my pool since I have owned it was salt, muriatic acid, and dry stabilizer. Oh and some liquid bleach. Chemistry was way out of whack when I got the pool so did a water exchange in the beginning. City water. I took a...

So I have a couple of dark spots on the bottom of my pool. I placed some ascorbic acid on one to test it. Seemed like it made the stain spread with a brownish color. I travel for work so didn’t have anymore time to mess with it. A couple months go by and I now have what is going on in the...

Just wanted to report that adding liquid chlorine (I added bleach) as suggested above worked out great! Pool is back to being very clear. I'm in the process of raising CYA now, I dissolved half the pool math recommended dose last night. I turned off the swcg last night and haven't turned it...

Ok sounds good, thanks for the reply.

Hello all, two weeks ago I did a water exchange to lower my CYA. I adjusted all parameters according to pool math and my pool was very clear. Yesterday I did my daily chlorine and pH tests and my FC was 0. I also noticed the pool water was slightly cloudy, still pretty clear but not as clear...

thanks for your reply, was just looking at that article.

First photo is from April, second is from today.

Hello everyone, I started this thread back in April when I first moved in but didn't have a chance to do the water exchange until this week. (I left a few days after I started this thread to go back to work in Texas.) Pool stayed the same without any kind of maintenance. I did a water...

I retested the cya using the above mentioned method mixing tap water with pool water. I barely made it to the 100 line before I couldn’t see the black dot anymore. So this means my cya is 200? Looks like I need to drain this pool and refill. How do I determine how much salt I need to add...

Hmm I'm not sure how to tell, but the alarm is on at 2600 and I noticed it off at 2700 on the display. There is a sticker that says it is factory set at 2800. But I really don't know.

For the salt I used the K-1766 test kit. I turned off the SWG tonight after I took the tests. I will re-test everything just because that was my first time testing pool water and I want to see if I have different results. I will re-test the CYA using the above mentioned procedure. Thanks...

Hello everyone, I just purchased a house with a pool. Water looks clear. I tested the water for the first time today and it looks like I have super high chlorine numbers among other abnormal results. Some of these results seem so bad I have doubts that I did them right now. I can retest...

Just received my TF-100 test kit, K-1766 test kit, and magnetic stirrer today. Pretty excited about all this haha and can’t wait to move this weekend. First order of business will be to check out this pool and run some tests.

Ordered the TF-100 with the speedstir as recommended. Once I get that and moved in I will get to testing and I will be back with questions. Thank you sir.

Thank you for the reply’s. Currently reading the abc’s now.

Here are some photos. :)
