Thanks for advice

Just curious if anyone else has seen no availability of liquid chlorine/ pool shock 12.5% in your area? I am in eastern Iowa (Quad cities) and my pool stores say no availability until spring. I have gone with 1lb bags of 65% Cal-Hypo for next 2 weeks until I close out. Wondering if you all...

Greetings, Has anyone ever checked their PH after adding the max dosage of polyquat 60? I put in the polyquat yesterday and let it circulate for a good 6 hrs, this was of course after I had already gotten PH to 7.2-7.5. and also adjusted chlorine to shock and back down half way. I did a check...

Ah finally, someone with the exact same problem/issue I have. I first purchased a ColorQ and within 4 weeks got the TF100. I've also posted a similar post that the CYA on both tests that I run nearly every day (because I had to wrestle high CYA) are almost identical. Of course, my CYA is...

Ok, I'm back once again for a Q&A about Colorq vs. TF100 and my results since I've been dumping water. I had a ColorQ for about 3 weeks and ordered a TF100 w/mag stir and have been using both over the past week. If you recall I was estimating my CYA was at and/or above 200 on June 1. I've...

Yep, as you know it's hard to be real sure with the Colorq, I need that TF-100 kit to get a better picture of my FC I think. I've kept everyone out of the pool this week and now the wifey is looking at me with crazy eyes cause she wants in the water. For now, I'll keep up with the partial...

Well, I've drained and refilled about 15 inches total (2) 6-8in sessions this week. I was consistently getting at/around 200 per the Colorq 1:1 diluted. By the way I just ordered a TF-100 kit with mag stir. Still with the Colorq, I'm consistently getting an average around 135 ish, so I...

Good idea James...thanks Certainly more convenient than dragging the 100ft drain hose to the street at 11pm at night and waiting an hour for it to drop, then another 3 hrs to refill ;-)

After about a 6 in level drain and refill, my tests today show FC 6.7 TC 7.4 PH 6.9 TA 74 CH 54 CYA -- best estimate is 188, Colorq shows 89 at 1:1 ratio with distilled water I'm guessing I'll need to do this drain/refill many more times unless I go more than just below the skimmer (inch or...

Sounds good. Appreciate your quick response and wealth of knowledge. Thanks for your time. Chris

Would you agree to try and do this in stages of 6-10 inches at a time? I don't know if the liner could collapse in if I go a lot at a time? I'm talking about closing levels (just below skimmer) and then refill and repeat. Thanks

Greetings, I'm new to Trouble Free Pool but have had great results over the past 3 yrs I've owned my pool. I enjoy the posts tremendously, been learning a lot but have a question about dealing with CYA in the 200-250 range. I've been reviewing the CYA/Chlorine charts and trying to really...
