Finally got my R0013 and found the CYA level at 50 so I think I am good there. Chlorine is still dropping off pretty rapidly (2-3ppm/day), so I guess I still have some kind of issue. Another thing - the dead algae at the bottom of my pool looks like vomit and when I vacuumed it, it seems like it...

I vacuumed all the dead algae from the bottom of the pool before testing. BTW, I checked the kit and it is the K2006. Here are my results: FC = 1.0ppm CC = 0.6ppm pH = 7.6 TA = 100 CH = 400 CYA = untested (the reagent bottle was empty) Temp = 70F So, what do you all think? I am really grateful...

So now the flocculant has been in the pool for a few days, can I safely vacuum the precipitated algae through my filter? It will probably be a while before I can get to plumbing the waste valve. Or maybe "safely" is irrelevant for now, since I am probably putting new cartridges in soon anyway.

I worried about that, and you are probably right although it had been clogging daily for two weeks before I added the floc. I'll be working on the chemistry but have also ordered new cartridges in case I can't salvage them. I probably should've plumbed in a waste valve when I installed the...

I already have a Taylor FAS-DPD kit (not sure the #) and after buying all new cartridges, the price of the TFPro is tough right now. Can I get by on what I have?

I had my pool opened on May 1 and have been struggling to get things running smoothly. At some point shortly after that, I noticed that the pressure was running high in my cartridge filter so I pulled the cartridges and thoroughly rinsed them. The next day, I noticed the pressure was high again...
