Thank you. I have read it a few times. It says the acid alone drops the TA and then the aeration allows the pH to go back up so you can add more acid right? I was just wondering if by adding some acid every day to keep pH near 7.6 if the TA would eventually go down, but my understanding from...

I am an engineer. Hate to admit my chemistry is a little rusty for a chemical engineer, but I assume you are correct. So it is kind of important not to overshoot on the FC test, since your goal is to have a CC of 0 (requiring zero drops). If you overshoot, then you are either making it pass...

Thank you this is helpful. So when testing for CC, does it matter how much you overshoot on your FC drops? Will that extra drop on your FC test affect how many drops it takes on your CC test to change? As for the TA, I have been thinking about how I might aerate the pool before committing to...

I am following the TA instructions using a 10ml sample that came with the kit which you multiply by 25. It should give a similar result to the 25ml version, but I will take a 25ml version after work today to get a little more accuracy. The 10ml version uses 1 drop of the first reagent and 3...

I decided not to do a SLAM. The CC almost seems like testing error for me. When I test FC I get from pink to clear, with possibly just a minor pink tint. As soon as I add the 5 drops of the CC test reagent the minor pink will get a little stronger. Then one drop of the FC titrant and it goes...

How does robot cleaner scheduling work? Do you leave the robot plugged in and sitting inside your pool 24/7?

This morning FC is already down to 1ppm and CC may also be around 1ppm. I need to get the CYA up. Should I SLAM also due to CC at 1ppm? Is there a preferred order to SLAM and bringing up CYA? Thanks I tested CYA and it was between 30 and 40 bu much closer to 30

Thank you for all the advice. The Amazon pump with 1-1/4 pipe was able to get to 20gpm for draining the pool. Started around 1pm and finished at 1am. The refill with 3 hoses was only about 14gpm. Finished up around 4pm today. I tried to take out a little over 13,000 gallons from best I can...

I have the pump. Planning to start drain and refill this week. I was reading up on SLAM, but that sounds like it was more necessary for pools that need to have the water cleared up. If my water is already clear, what is the best process once the pool is refilled? I want to make sure I have...

We are on an incline down to the lake. I am thinking of trying the water hose siphon method. Any concerns with that approach? I assume the water table is far below the pool given where we are relative to the lake, but was trying to decide if we should do simultaneous drain and refill or just...

We purchased a home and are moving in tomorrow. I was able to go over and test the pool last night. Using a clorox strip everything was off the charts high for the most part. I then tried out my new K-2006 test kit testing only the FC. I lost track of the drops using the 25ml method and then...
