Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it

Okay so I found out what the problem was. I opened the newer pH indicator solution that I bought and used that instead and now it’s saying pH = 8 lol I thought using a 2-year old stuff would be okay. Do you replace all the stuff in your kit annually?

Ah, I’ll update my info. Thanks. No I don’t. I’ve only been using liquid chlorine for 2 years now.

Thank you so much. Could you please guide me on what I should do about my low pH before I start the SLAM process? It’s <7

No we use liquid chlorine. It was 7.2 so we added borax and 2 days later it’s 7. Should I add more borax before SLAM-ing, during, or after? We’ve always used the entire bottle of liquid stabilizer. Do you think it would take too long for me to raise CYA with granular stabilizer if I want to...

FC 1 CYA <30 PH yellow (<7) TA 110 Pool has gone cloudy in 1 day! Had no idea my numbers were so out of whack. Before I SLAM, what should I do about the pH? PH was 7.2 day before so I had already put in 1 box (1.84kg) of Borax. Should I put in stabilizer before or as I’m SLAM-ing? I use the...

Wow! I just find it so crazy that not a single pool store in my area carries FAS-DPD testing. Have you found a pool store in the London region? Thank you SO much for this. It actually makes much more sense to me now that I think of the chlorine feeder more as an supplemental equipment and not...

Thank you! So once I have reliable a testing kit, will it be OK to use the chlorine feeder? Thank you Dean. We've done backwashing as we have a sand filter. Is there a chance that high level of CYA will show up as low level of CYA on these dip test strip? It looks to be 0-50 but I'm not sure if...

Thank you so much for your help. I have a chlorine feeder. Would it be sufficient to just use this to maintain chlorine level up? Thank you for your help. I've added the description of my equipment as recommended - hopefully I did it right! I'll have to double check my filter. As I've asked...

Thank you for your reply. How much would 5ppm FC worth of chlorine be if I am using liquid chlorine with concentration of 12 %? Is there absolutely no way of roughly managing the pool for 2 weeks with this simple dipstick test so that I can start to enjoy the pool (until the taylor kit gets...

Hi everyone. New pool owner here - it's a kidney-shaped pool of approximately 4m (shortest width) x 8m. My partner had a pool all his life growing up, so he insisted that we open the pool ourselves. We don't even have one of the recommended test kits, although I've ordered the Taylor 2006 (won't...
