Ok. Wow. Last time I used the Jacks stuff it didn’t seem to take that long for the readings to show correctly. That’s really annoying but I guess I’ll ignore it for now and just make sure the FC is showing up and not depleting irregularly

I tried Jacks Copper stain and scale back in May. You think it’s still showing as CC??

That is interesting since I don’t think the water stinks at all. I didn’t get down and close to it but nothing when pulling the samples. Matt

I’ve done the test many many times. Yeah, it definitely stayed Pink until I got to about 25 drops. I cleaned the tester out with tap water and reran the test with new samples and got the same result

I added some extra bags of dichlor because I was out of the liquid chlorine

Yes, I did the test twice. Weird - right? I’ll do again in another hour and see what results I get.

The only thing is haven’t done recently is clean out the filter. I will do that and change out the cartridges. I have a second set. Again, I just thought it was weird that the CC level was higher than the Fc. Is that normal?

Using a Taylor test kit. Brand new kit. I replaced another kit that I bought 4 years ago. I thought Cc couldn’t be higher than FC

Just looking for some reassurance. I just I figured out that my salt cell is bad and not generating chlorine. It’s entirely possible that it hasn’t been making chlorine for several weeks now. I’ve been adding some liquid chlorine after some parties and the water has always looked clear and a...

Do you think I could use ez patch or similar and put a couple thin coats of it? I’d really rather not drain the pool

Upon walking out to the pool today, I noticed a nice little crater in the shallow end of our pool. Our pool is roughly 3 plus years old(finished in Sept 2018). White plaster. Outside of one small hairline crack that popped up a month ago, this is the first time I’ve seen anything like this...

I didn’t share any logs because I was closing it and already put the cover on it. Everything was in line in terms of pool math when I closed the pool. I just thought someone may know What it was just by looking at the pictures. I’ve been using pool math, the bbb method, for the past 2 seasons...

The pool is only 3.5 years old. It is fairly rough.

We just closed our pool for the winter season here in PA. I balanced the water as usual. I added some Polyquat and let it circulate for a couple days. I noticed some white/bluish marks on the bottom of the pool that were more noticeable than usual. When I lowered the water levels down, it...

TA is low - currently 30

Cya - 45 pH - 6.60 - dropped from recent rain FC - 1.5

Thanks James for your help. I’ll take new readings and post shortly. Any thoughts on day vs night?

Yes, I had the SWG running along with adding bleach and I was still seeing a big FC loss each day. I’m going to shutoff the SWG for the time being to get better gauge on actual FC loss and get this under control. With regard to SLAMMING, I’ve seen mixed info on whether it makes sense to add...

Thanks for the reply. Do you think I should continue to SLAM until FC holds? And then disregard CC for the time being. I had no idea the stain product could affect CC so that is great info.

I used the Jacks products back in the Fall, September-October before we closed the pool. You think that is causing the crazy #’s?? This should go away in a couple weeks? I just figured since the FC number hadn’t changed at all after putting all that bleach in; it must be eating away at...

I just opened our pool last Sunday night and found that we had some mud throughout the bottom of it from a rain storm over winter. I ran my pump and filters non-stop for several days and it was fairly clear by Tuesday. I got the Ph down to 7.2 and wanted to start the SLAM process...
