linen Im going to run the test tonight I think I screwed up. My Fc is a 6 now nothing has been added tonight when I check it in the moring if no drop or less then 1 im ok is this right?

NO IM sorry today has been one of them days. I check it this moring before I left and it was a 6. I raised it up to a last night. Then I checked at 7:30 tonight at it was still a 6. I could have blown the test to will recheck in the moring. You are not short I just hate typing period.

I did add chlorine last night according to the calulator to bring it to a 6. I do not have a chlorinator. Partly cloudy today. Water temp 70. Are you seeing something in my numbers that Im missing? No FC drop a little crazy. Its a new one for me.

Yes the granular went in a tube sock in the skimmer. Will backwash. I went ahead and raised the FC to a 6 tonight and will check for any loss tommrow night and if my CC comes up or I lose alot of FC I will shock it. What do you think on my CH it is a 90 should I try to raise this? Thanks for you...

Pressure runs 10psi its 15 now. I added 2gal of liquid and 3lbs thru the skimmer I must of had a 0 reading on this all along it is a hard one to read it was in between the 50 and 40 mark so it could have been a 45 with no drop. On the backwash I did not want to lose any of my stab if any was...

You are right Liquid stab should be called Liquid gold! But I put that in the skimmer at 3. I will take a test a 8 or so also added 32oz of bleach to bring my FC up to 7 or 7.5. Thanks for all your help and advice. I learn something every day here and without this forum I would be scared to...

Pool is clear as ever. Added nothing yesterday. But today a little worried here are my numbers. FC 5 CC 0.5 PH 7.4 CYA maybe 20 CH 100 TA 70. It did rain some more on Sunday but not much but no sun. The FC scares me it has drop from a 10 to a 5 today I know my CYA is low I did add 3lb of...

Rained all night Im sure all my neighbors thought I was nuts. Brought my FC up for the for the overnight FC test in the pouring down rain. But here we go. The FC 10 last night it was brought up to 11 but my CC stayed at 0.5 the PH came up to 7.6 All the stab 3lb in the sock is gone. Now I did...

Will do thank ya much

Pouring Rain. No rain in two months and this is about right with my luck! I will raise the FC I will run it through the calculator to see how much bleach to add. And report back. How long do I wait to do my check for any chlorine loss? Overnight or longer also my pump has been running 24hrs...

Im going to retest now to double check. Will the pool calculator give me the amount of chlorine to add if I enter the target number up to 10?

Three pounds was it I have a good weight scale. If the FC scares you it really scares me. Was FC 3.8 and the CC 0.6 yesterday. If I need to shock I will we did have some bad storms would that make such a difference?

New results let me know FC and CC 0.5 PH 7.2 TA 70 CYA 10 maybe I knows it better then before the black dot is smaller. I will be adding more stabilizer. To the pool calcuator I go. Any thoughts since the last test? Thanks

Jason, just payed my $30 best money I have spent on a pool in 20 years! New at this and have read here for two weeks then posted my first post and wow info instant Thanks

Feels great even if Im new at it. Sure makes things simple once you have the help on here. Im sure alot more Questions to come. Bad storms here tonight them old Kansas tornado are lurking around.

Thanks. I just put 3lb in a tube sock and in the skimmer it went. It calls for 6lb but starting out slow. Funny thing I had to go to the pool store that I have used for 15 years to get my CYA stabilizer I could not find it at lowes or any where else, but they know me by my first name and ask...

Sorry I Tested wrong on my Chlorine. Like I said man there alot of bottles in the kit! After info from here on how to use it my free chlorine is 3.8 combined 0.6. Use the pool calculater and to add 45oz on the bleach. This is the only test I did this morning. So I still have to add for my CYA...

Thanks everybody! You are right They do use that on the bridges up here I should of known that one! Should I work on the CYA first? From what I understand thanks to alot of help here I can buy this at Lowes or hardware stores. The pool calculater states I need 97 oz correct me If Im wrong but...

I only added 1/2 of what was called for. I will check to see what the Ph has done on the next test. New to this BBB method and looking forward it. Sorry if my post have been confusing but Im a bridge contractor in kansas for the last 30 years and trust me KDOT will make you this way. Thanks

I know Im lost. I will be useing Bleach. When I filled the pool I had some pucks and put them in the skimmer until my new test kit came and had time to buy the bleach. The pucks were in for only 16 hr with the filter running non stop. Tonight I got my kit and bleach and checked my water with...
