Does the quick/daily chlorine test also show zero?

If it's not turning pink you have no chlorine. What is the stabilizer/CYA level?

thanks - it's hard to tell because it's hard to access but I believe it may be leaking from the bottom of the fernco so a hose and cap may just work

We bought our house ten plus years ago and every year I've been able to get the plug to thread onto the filter drain well enough to not leak despite there not being much left in the way of threads on the filter drain. This year I couldn't get it to catch at all. I put a fernco fitting on the...

I would think that would do it. Expand it so it fits in really tight and hopefully it will come loose. I don't think there is any way you could damage it. You could also try a little saw and cut the duck almost all the way through and I bet it would break apart.

Did you check to see if insurance would cover it?

I'm in Albany so very similar weather and my CYA disappears every winter. Just see what your test shows next spring and go from there. By the way I have a good friend who lives in Livonia!

I fish therefore I am :cool:

Upping your stabilizer a bit isn't a bad idea anyway in Florida.

31 is way above slam level. You need to let it drop below 16

I'm not surprised to see those results. Your earlier post showed - TF-100: TA = 70, CH = 625, CYA = 80, CL = 4.5, PH = 7.2 so your chlorine is 1.5 ppm below minimum for a CYA of 80.

I'm in Albany so can't tell you specifically but most hardware stores here sell it. Ace, True Value etc.

I'm thinking frog's legs for dinner :cool:

You can still have your pool party today. Just dose with liquid chlorine and brush thoroughly to mix up the water and you'll be okay. When my pump went I found a good deal on Craiglist.

Let's go Bills!!! :cool:

You'll be fine. As was said earlier put in your normal amount of chlorine / bleach and brush for enough time to get the water all mixed up and moving around (maybe 5 minutes?). If you have the time brush it again a few hours later. As long as you're properly chlorinated you won't develop algae...

You'll hear this repeatedly but your results (once you get the hang of it) are the correct ones and the pool store results will vary widely. Just do the tests properly and trust your results. I will buy the pH results from your son in law though!

I'm another NE IPA fan even though I live in Upstate NY and I'm a Bills and Yankees fan . Here are some of my recent ones. Sloop and Industrial Arts from NY, Hooker from Ct., Some Vermont beers from Burlington Brewing Company and my favorite brewery located in Albany named Fiden's which makes...

You can swim at 15 PPM chlorine and a CYA level of 120. You'd be better off with Liquid Chlorine than Granular shock

It's great to be concerned but your overthinking it. At my daughters grad party a few years back we had all the nieces and nephews in the pool for hours and ot was fine. With a 30 CYA reading and FC of 7 ypu won't dip below your minimum anyway so have fun and when everyone leaves bump it back up...

You're doing great - keep up the good work! My mother inlaw was born and raised in Little Falls.
