    Oop! Added Waaaay to much chlorine!

    Was starting a slam and it said add 23 oz or 2 cups. I wasn't paying attention and add 16 cups (128 oz) before I realized! I am hoping that it just knocks the algae out and naturally goes down. I saw green algae when I brushed. Any thoughts? CYN 40 Ph 7.2 Free Chlorine now over 25 It was 3 And...

    None. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. It has been super easy this year

    Do i need to slam if my CC is never .5

    Yes. I have passed. This was more that I wasn't sure if it was something I should be doing no matter what. Thanks.

    Do i need to slam if my CC is never .5

    Thanks! Yes, but I have started taking it off. I bought a Small fountain yesterday and hope that will provide some of the aeration needed. Small pool doesn't have a way to aerate. My other one did but not this.

    Do i need to slam if my CC is never .5

    Just wondering if I should be slamming? My Water is usually very balanced, I only struggle keeping PH up. My CC is never above 0-.5. Thanks.

    Bringing PH up, Borax or Soda Ash?

    Hey thanks. I just ordered new reagent 4. My K2006 test hasn't changed in a few days. My k1000 shows different results. I'm more inclined to go with the K1000 test result for PH today. Will follow up after I get new reagent.

    Bringing PH up, Borax or Soda Ash?

    Hi all, which is better? Borax or Soda ash (same as baking soda?). Does a solar cover effect PH? Thanks. FC 4 CC 0 PH under 7 TA 100 CYN 45 Water temp currently 80.

    Thanks, I'll keep my eye on it as it keeps raining. If I did need to adjust I don't really understand the instructions.

    What should I do to lower TA? I

    I never quite understand when it says lower PH to 7.0-7.2 (which it is) and aerate to Increase PH. My TA is 140 my PH is 7.2. Free Chlorine is 4.5 (about to add) CC is .5 C6N is 40(increasing slowly the last few days) Just opened Thursday, rain on and off. Thank you

    Am I supposed to shock pool every week?

    Stupid question, how often should I be shocking my pool? I haven't as my FC is usually within range and my CC is always 0 or .5. Maybe I am not doing something I am supposed to.

    Thank you

    I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that answers my basic newbie questions. I followed advice and continue with pool math. My little pool is beautiful clean water. I had issues in the past that I am not having this year. Thanks again.
