Hello, I've been slamming my pool for a 5 days and still not to the end. I live in Texas where rain is all or nothing; right now it's "all". It's been raining the last two days and there's a high percent of continued rain this whole week. Should I continue the slam or would it be better to...

The instructions for Alkalinity Test, paragraph #3 says to add R-0009 until the color changes to red. Should it be really "RED" or will it be more pink? It seems I can never get it to be true red; always more pink.

Our fiberglass pool has a leak. We've done the bucket test and the dye test twice (we are amateurs). We suspect the light (that's where the water stops draining) but the dye isn't being sucked into it. We are losing 5 inches in 8 hours! There is NO wet ground around the pool?? We've broken...

What is the best way to raise CYA? I've got stabilizer in a sock but how long should I leave it in there? I don't think I have any CYA.

Hello, I feel like I must be doing something wrong:( I have added bottles and bottles and more bottles of bleach to my pool and still can't get the overnight test to drop by just 1. Broke down and also bought some pool shock. My pool had a little algae in two corners and I had what looked...

Can someone tell me what a Super Concentrated Clarifier is used for or if it should be used? Is this the same as conditioner?? Finally, finally got my CYA down and now it's too low (20).

Thanks in advance. There is continued confusion in my head when trying to wrap my head around the whole CYA testing! To confuse myself further, I used a test strip because I just don't feel comfortable with my CYA testing abilities…did I see the dot? is it really there? I think I still see...

Hello, Originally we had a big algae bloom and the pool store had us put in 6 gallons of their liquid shock into the pool. It did get rid of the visible algae but every morning we have what I think is dead algae. We have a high CYA of approx 110? (can't measure it over 100 with my new kit)...

A few years ago we cut up some Sun Shade to cover our pool to prevent evaporation as we live in a severe drought area. It worked great and kept the pool from getting to be like warm bath water but it was a pain to use trying to keep it from laying in the pool. Has anyone purchased and/or used...

Hello, We had some work done on our pool and had a major algae bloom. The algae appears to be gone now but we can't keep the chlorine in the pool. Our CYA level is between 150-180. Since we are in a drought we are not allowed to drain our pool. Is there another way to lower CYA? I'm...
