Ok I will do this. I was trying to do the bleach at night. I’ll keep you posted.

Geez, I’m feeling defeated about now. Yesterday the water looked murky and you can tell something is wanting to get bad. I added my last gallon of bleach last night. This morning it looked a tad better but still not resolved. My numbers PH 7.2 FC 1.5 CC 1.5 TA 70 CYA 50 I did vacumn and it’s...

Ok I retested without using the diluted method. My CYA is 50-60. More 50. So that was the problem. I just added the rest of the second gallon of bleach and I’ll see what it looks like tomorrow. On another note, algicide. I am still confused on which one to use. I know you all recommend just...

Not 60, 100.

Hmm I’m not sure how it jumped. In the past I couldn’t get correct readings for cya, so they advised me to add the little dropper to 7.5 with pool water, then fill to 15 with tap water. Shake/mix then squeeze out to keep 7.5. Then add the regiment till it’s at 15. Mix wait 30 seconds, shake and...

I added the dry stabilizer according to pool math but I’m kind of thinking after re-reading these comments that I should have added some but not all, but to just get to 30. But it’s up, it’s 60.

I added the dry stabilizer in a nylon stocking, the amount 5lbs according to pool math. I kept mushing it and it took a while, last bit dissolved late last night when I got home after I mushed it. (a good day and half). Last night I added a gallon of liquid chlorine. I went to 2 WMs last...

Thank you for your help!

Thank you. I did that. But it’s not exactly in front of the return pump. But near by. Thank you I was wondering when to check the numbers again.

Should I wait until all the dry stabilizer is dissolved into the pool or just start with the liquid chlorine. I should definitely check the cya right?

Yes I have TF- pro xl kit. I ordered from here. I’ve taken out my floaters, added borax. Now I’m adding the dry stabilizer to a pantyhose. Just tie from my ladder? After that I’ll add 1 1/2 gallons of liquid chlorine. I need to go back to the first post to see how long after do I add the...

Ok I understand 1-3. I’m going take my floaters out. I’m going to add borax, according to the pool math. Then I will add the dry stabilizer to a sock or pantyhose (just tie it to something)? Then squeeze after 30 minutes or so. I think I have that. I’m not clear on #4. Increase the FC to 12. I...

Hello to all, I’m stuck at the moment. I will try to explain the best I can so if you stay with me, bless you. I have read several topics in the forums and keep coming up with a mix of steps to take. I’m pretty sure I need to slam my pool but needing to know if I need to bring certain numbers...

Ok so the numbers are: FC - 6.5 CC - 1.0 PH - 6.8 TA- 100 CH- 125 CYA - 190

It is a above ground pool. 24/52.

I followed this and came up with 85.

Thank you for your help!

Ok I will follow this. I may not have the sticker points right on the other post description because if it would not end up being formula. It would be 7.5 ml pool water and 22.5 tap water. I'll try this.

YES! This is exactly what I had to do and exactly how I felt while doing it! Thank you!

no not on well water.

OK, sticker you mean the writing right? bottome is 750 ml, top says 30 ml. For #5. I will add R-0013 up to the 15 ml line right? Then continue

Thank you so much for this. I know I will get it but I feel like a moran when Im trying to figure it all out. I do trust yall!

Ok, would this be the same thing as a fountain? Ill be getting one soon.

Its pretty sunny here in Louisana, Ill go and do it now. The CYA reagent is R-0013?

If you think I should redo this test and maybe I can use a dropper to add and subtract from the vial more accurately, I can do that.

I definitely read them, and I somewhat understand them. My confusion comes in with the testing, instructions are vague and didnt find much on the basics. However I think I got most of it, now just trying to add to what I need to, to get clear water. Thanks

yes, I used the red capped bottle and filled it with pool water to the 7.5 ml level. Then added R0013 to that same tube reaching to 15ml, shook for about 30 seconds. Then poured in to the clear vial named CYA. I used the number when I could no longer see the black dot at the bottom of vial...

In the past from what I understood is I take care of the TA first, then PH, the chlorine. Do I add the borax, to bring my PH up or add muranic acid to bring my TA down first. On pool math, it indicates under PH to add 10 lbs of borax and under TA it only says this " To lower TA, you reduce PH...

Ok, sorry for all the confusion. I just went ahead and tested everything listed on the card, which read weekly testing. These are my readings. FC- 6.5 CC- 1.0 PH- 6.8 TA- 100 CH- 125 CYA- 110 I did shock last night and it rained before that a bit to add extra water to the pool. Thank you so...

Ok I followed what I could understand on the instruction card. In the cylinder for CL and PH. CL (yellow side) was very yellow so I am assume the max, I put as -5-10. The PH side (red) was faint so I recorded at 6.8. I also followed the instructions on the CC in the Chlorine only vial and...
