Ok thanks

Wow thanks so much for that! I've never heard of them until now. I'll go grab some.

ok thanks!

ok thanks. I can't get any liquid Cl right now (all sold out) - should I use cal hypo or dichol?

I used Natural Chemistry's Metal Free. I can't get my hands on any liquid Cl right now. It's sold out in all of the pool stores in my area. I have cal hypo and dichlor

Here are my results from the Taylor Kit: FC: 1 TC: 9 CC: 8 pH: 7.6 TA: 120 CYA: 30 Thanks!

Yes - it took 16 drops for it to go back to clear

Thank you for this reply. It's very helpful. I added Metal Free due to Copper in the water. I have a Taylor Kit. I'll stop going to the pool store and trust my kit!

I used my Taylor kit and got 9 for CC and then took it to Leslie's because it seemed off and it was almost the same. This happened to me last year as well at opening.

I honestly don't remember what happened last year - I was trying to to remember and just can't! I added Metal Free because I had copper in the water. Would that do it? Thanks :)

My Taylor kits were almost the exact same :(

They are from Leslie's but I also got similar results with my Taylor kit

Hello, Updated: Here are my results from the Taylor Kit: FC: 1 TC: 9 CC: 8 pH: 7.6 TA: 120 CYA: 30 My test results from today are below. Pool is clear and blue; I recently backwashed AND cleaned my filter grids. Both the Pool Doctor app and Leslie's are telling me I should add almost 20 lbs...

Ok got it!! Thanks so much Awesome - thanks for the help!

Thanks Maddie! I tested after the pool had been open and breathing for several hours today. How much Cl would you suggest adding? I think I have CC leftover from the opening process a few weeks ago. It looks blue but I can see a haze to it.

Hello - I'm new to "DIY" pool chemicals. I just tested my water (Taylor K-2006 kit) and my levels are below. I'm getting different suggestions from Pool Math (2 lbs soda ash, .5 gal liquid Cl, 2 lbs stabilizer) vs. Pool Doctor ( 0.8lbs soda ash, 5.2 lbs granular Cl, 1.7 lbs stabilizer). it...

Got it! thanks

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me! I didn't know that CC will get burned off in the sun. I get a moderate amount of sunlight but not alot. I dealt with the dead algae getting stirred up all last week and the week before. Luckily I seem to be almost past that point but...

Ok thanks. How do you come up with Ok thanks. So I know in the future - is there an equation for that or do you just know from experience?

Ok great tip about the 10ml water test! Thx. I know this might be a dumb question but how do I know how much Cl to add to get to the 16ppm?

Hi! I'm from PA and I'm really trying to take control of my own pool chemistry. I've been going to Leslie's for years and I know I can do it myself. I'm so excited to be part of the group!

Thanks. I just carefully took my own readings and here is what I got: FC =2.0ppm CC=4.8ppm pH = 7.3 TA = 100 CYA = 35

Thanks for the response! It is 21,000 gal (in-ground concrete with a DE filter). It looks blue but with a cloudy haze. Last week it was green and I couldn't see the bottom after vacuuming, so much improved but I obviously have a CC problem to deal with :(

Hello - I am new to pool care and I want to make sure the advice I was given is correct before adding 14 GALLONS of liquid Cl. Last night I followed the SLAM chart and added 3 gal of liquid. Today I took a sample to Leslies because i thought I was using my new Taylor K-2006 kit wrong when I got...
