That's good to know Robbie.. I have a slight disability that makes me a not-so-great/fast brusher compared to the average bear. Any one have an opinion on adding all 14# at once or doing a bit at a time?

Hi duraleigh, I foolishly was using strips..for too long and then broke out my K-2005 tester yesterday to get my TH level (strips doesnt do), I then took to pool store for testing and they got the same as my k-2005 for TH. My strips, the K-2005 AND the pool store all resulted in my 100 CYA...

Just got my first estimate for replacing "50%" of my water (was quoted 14K gallons which is less than half ).. at $.045/gallon is $630. this is an absolute impossibility for me.. I am anxiously awaiting my FAS-DPD test so I can go ahead and get some Cal-Hypo to get shockin' and start raising...

To linen: thanks for the votes of confidence in my decision(s), at least today's decision to get the correct test. :) to march2012: I am a she. :) thanks for the amazon info.. i already ordered the $26 one from http://tftestkits.net/FAS-DPD-Chlorine- ... t-p47.html I am located just north of...

About to make the decision to get 25# bucket of 67% Cal-Hypo at local store... According to pool calculator I'd need about 14# to get to shock level of 39 and it would increase my CH by roughly 23...(not high as I need to be) would you recommend this treatment for the immediate then separately...

I think for today I am going to add 2-3 more 1.42 bottles, luckily I already have on hand) to get my FC closer a bit higher and try to maintain for a bitthat rather than try to jack it it up to 39+ (seems it would take a long time to drop back down to "safe/normal") I think I need to direct...

Why do I need to bring to shock levels? I was going by the recommended levels for TA/Ph etc.. and the chlorine/CYA chart for Ch levels which says I need an FC of 7-12. this is also what the pool calulator recommends. using the pool calc and recommended levels in pool school, I have been...
