Is this scale? How do I get rid of it? It’s only like this in a few different places around the water line.

It looks great!

Lol! 🤣 No, but the one that was complaining still wont get in. 🙄

I was so close this morning! I checked twice and got -2.0 and -1.5 a half hour apart. Guess I’ll stay after it another day. 🤨 Kids want to swim today. 😬

That was my thought. It was cloudy and had a greenish tint so I was pretty sure that was the problem. I didn’t want to let it sit another night. The FC dropped by 3 overnight so I’ll keep treating it throughout the day and hopefully it will pass tonight. It looks much better this morning already.

Dang…when would it be safe to swim? Around 10?

So 28 is the number I got on the calculator for my FC. Once I do the overnight test and I know I am finished, how long will it take my FC to come down to a reasonable number?

Ok, I’ll do that tonight. I was an idiot and used “splash less” bleach so now I have white foam everywhere. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you! I just added bleach and I’ll turn the output back up to around 50 and start there.

Hi there, I’ve been having really good luck with my new kit and numbers. Today, I opened the pool cover and it looked a little cloudy. I went to work and came back and tested it and all of a sudden the FC level is 0.5. I posted all my numbers from today. I’ve had the output set on about 10%...

Not green/blue but they sure were dirty after only a few weeks.

Yes, for the most part but now she won’t swim. Interesting part is my son has blond hair and he’s spent more time in the pool than anyone and I don’t see any green in his.

Not yet. I’ve been waiting for my husband to help me since this is the first time I’ve opened them to check. It rained all day yesterday so hoping we do it today. 🤞

Okay, that’s good to know. I was planning to check it again tomorrow, and also check the cya level since I added. I think I am starting to get the hang of this. 😊 Would you leave the TA alone for now? With the lower ph I let the fountain run all day, hoping that might bring it down. (Hope I read...

I am sorry, I didn’t mean for it to sound fishy. I am brand new at this and thought this seemed like a good place to learn. So far, everyone has been really helpful and I’ve learned a lot. Our pool builder was excellent, he closed the pool for us because he was still trying to get the pump to...

Yep, only one since Jan when we were on vacation, but they both have highlighted blond hair so if it’s not from algaecide, (I’ll check filters tomorrow) then it must just be something with their hair being colored. I am not worried about it, was just trying to learn more and find out if it was...

Missed a couple of these questions…PH has been moving around quite a bit. It was 7.7 yesterday and now 7.2 today. I don’t mean to keep it that low. Just getting started and trying to get everything balanced. And no stains, haven’t used any stain treatments.

Thanks for the I f Thanks so much for the information. I have so much to learn and really appreciate it! I’ll check the filters tomorrow and also ask the builder again about he cooper algaecide. Obviously, it will wash out and not a huge deal just curious if it’s something I was doing wrong...

Yes, they both have blonde hair. Thanks for the link!

They did test the cooper level at the pool store and it was 0. Filter is Jacuzzi cartridge filter.

Correct, he did not add anything but salt when he opened the pool.

I appreciate the help! It’s a brand new pool. Completed in Nov of last year. Had some issues with the pump not running reliably so the builder closed it due to the temps and then opened it a couple weeks ago to work on the pump which has been running perfectly for a couple weeks now. We never...

No, none. Just the stuff in my pool logs.

Thank you. I haven’t used any of these. Just what’s in my pool logs.

That was a direction from the pool store (which I’ve learned now not to listen to) 😉 Any other suggestions? I am super new to this and trying to learn all I can.
