    FC 2ppm CC 0 pH 7.2 I just lowered it with some Muriatic acid TA 140 CH 225 CYA 20 Water temperature: I need to buy a thermometer I am curious to know how my measures will impact how the pool app calculates the amount of Bleach needed. Fyi, I have the free version and have not entered my...

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I must be missing something, I used the pool app to determine how much Bleach I need to increase the FC from .5ppm to 6ppm. I tried it with a CYA level of 40 and 80 and it appears that with more CYA I need more Bleach?! Sew attached

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I dissolved 3lbs of Clorox branded dry stabilizer over a 48h period, and my CYA is not even at 20 yet?! I will add more stabilizers tomorrow. Quick question: If the CYA helps to protect your chlorine why does it take more liquid chlorine to increase my ppm if I have more CYA? For example for a...

    Pool Start-up After drain

    I purchased 2 as I need 5 pounds, but I'm a little worried by the clorox brand since the CYA was one of my issues before I emptied the pool, if you think I shouldn't use the clorox dry stabilizer let me know! I only bought it since it will arrive soon and I can return it. Thank you

    Thank you. It seems like I should not do anything until the pool is filled to the skimmer opening, and I am running the equipment for 4hours.

    Pool Start-up After drain

    Good morning, After 4 years I decided to drain the pool before the Summer start in AZ. This is my first time draining the pool. It has been empty for 3-4 days and I am ready to fill it up. I found some old threads about this topic but some of the recommendations were confusing to me. Any...

    Ok so I'll do the following: Day 1: raise FC to 20, add 4 pucks Day 8: add 2gal and 4pucks Day 15: add 2gal and 4pucks Day 22: measure FC and adjust with liquid chlorine I will give my friend the FC tester to measure once a week. I'll update this thread when I have some update from my friend...

    I have not checked daily my FC, that is my fault. And I just measured and you are 100% the FC is too high, it's at 21. So would the following potentially work: Day 1: raise FC to 20, add 4 pucks Day 8: add 4gal and 4pucks Day 15: add 4gal and 4pucks Day 22: measure FC and adjust with liquid...

    10% from home depot or lowes. And they are stored inside to avoid the sun and are less than 3months old. I am also trying to get my TA lower I am at 180 and pH is high as well. Sorry two issues simultaneously

    Extremely High TA and Ph

    So I started with TA of 400 and PH of 8.2 Then I lowered it to TA200 and PH 7.5 And now it's at TA180 and PH 8.2 Seems like the PH keeps going up?! Thoughts

    Yes, while we haven't had one recently, the haboob is a think in AZ and it will most likely pick it up.

    @cowboycasey thank you. If I understand correctly 4 pucks per week would suffice? And I will have to deal with the CYA when I come back. If I get someone to come once a week and to help with the CYA, should I ask them to maybe use a combination of liquid chlorine and pucks. Like pour 4 gallons...

    @proavia I don't mind the temperature since no one will be swimming, but I am assuming water above 100 is not necessarily good? Also how much liquid chlorine would you put every other day? Bringing the FC from 4 to 10 per the calculator is about 115oz so every other day would be 230oz so maybe 2...

    @Tcadwall0 I do not have an swg but thinking about getting one. Can you tell me more about the cover as I live in AZ and it's getting hot during the day. Does it float on the water? And why do you run the pump during the day and not at night? Thank you

    @derekm How high do you bump the chlorine? Never had a solar bubble cover, how does the floater move around with the cover as I am assuming the cover is floating on the water? Would the wind remove the cover? Is this what you are referring to as a puck feeder?

    CYA is at 80, @cowboycasey how do you determine the number of pucks per week. My floater can only take 4 pucks, I have someone who can come once a week. I will look into the Salt water generator next year. Thank you

    Hello, What is the recommendation if I will be away for 3 weeks and have no one to help with the pool. I have some tablets (with no "blue"). I may be able to find someone to stop by once a week. Appreciate your help. Thanks

    Extremely High TA and Ph

    Unfortunately it's already hard to remove and I have some build up in between the tiles. What do you recommend for the build up? Is this what you have? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VU92KE/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_glt_i_T6XSTA4ZYW8PQEC94MK0
