Awesome, thank you!

@ Mknauss, so before I go any further I wanted to check with you... We had a ton of rain last night and the pool looks better but still green. I did another test and the levels are far better. pH is at 7.4, but we are expecting a lot more rain tonight and tomorrow. Here are my questions: 1. Do...

I was just about to ask what I did that made this mess... So when my TA was extremely high and my pH was around 7.2, what should I have done? is Muriatic acid a bad idea all together? What is your recommended approach to increasing pH? is what I'm doing with the fountain good enough?

Thank you! I recorded those low numbers because it was below the reading just so I had a reference. I should have clarified that that was not in fact a real measurement.

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of it. I've tested a lot lately, and I think my results are public; please let me know if not. I had very high TA, and I ended up with low FC and a green tint that quickly turned into a dark green. I used Muriatic Acid to get the TA under control, and...

I'm a little confused. Trichlor has CYA, but Dichlor "adds CYA" Trichlor does not add it? Do you recommend a stabilizer? And be careful how so?

I did as Marty instructed and added the liquid chlorine and a 1lb bag of shock. I tossed in a 3" chlorine tab into the floater and then tested again about 6 hours later. Also, I saw that "Bleach" is an option for liquid chlorine using the pool math app, are we talking about regular Clorox. I...

I have tested twice and I have attached a picture of my results. Before I start dumping truck loads of stuff in my pool, I wanted to check here. I'm very new at this and today is the first time I have used my k-2006 test kit. Thank you in advance for your help!

So I'm a major rookie... When you say ppm, how do I translate that into oz/gal? Do I just go to the pool supply store for liquid clorine and is CYA shock just regular pool shock? The shock I have is 99% Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione Hydrated and 1% "Other Ingredients". It says 55.5%...

I just got back from out of town and instead of having someone help me while I was gone I decided to go ahead and drain the pool so I could address some of the legs that needed to be adjusted. I also realized its only going to cost me $7/ 1 thousand gal of water so why not just start over. That...

Okay, I just ordered the K2006 but allow me to complicate it a little more. I am headed out of town in a couple of days and will be away from the pool for at least a week. Should I just let it ride and deal with the science experiment when I get back?

So here's my situation... I have been a pool owner for about two months. I have a 22' above ground Coleman pool from Walmart (about 10,500 gal.). I upgraded to a sand filter after my first algae takeover and things have seemed okay since then. We have had quite a bit of rain lately, very unusual...
