Ya, they're nasty. Haven't tasted them, they might be tasty, haha. BTW, my pool is crystal clear thanks to bleach and a little science. :compress: :lovetfp: :compress: :lovetfp: :compress: :lovetfp: :compress: :lovetfp: :compress:

Be sure not to forget tftestkits.net, who put this forum together. http://tftestkits.net hooked me up with this kit http://tftestkits.net/FAS-DPD-Chlorine- ... t-p47.html Now my pool is b-e-a-utiful! ~Chris

WooHoo, Meg at http://tftestkits.net/splash-page.html hooked me up. She corrected the mistake easy and fast. Here's her email: "I am so sorry the wrong item was pulled. We will ship you the 871 reagent today. Don't worry about returning the #13. A gift for our mistake. My apologies again...

ok I did leave a message, but I'll send them an email. I told them I don't mind paying for it, I just want the bottle. BTW, you guys rock my world, my pool is looking beautiful. I'm staying consistent with the maintenance too. thanks guys

Hey guys, I ordered the fc/cc kit from TFTestKits.net. I think they sent me the wrong stuff. I got three containers They sent: R-0013 CYA reagent R-003 DPD reagent R-0870 DPD Powder They should have sent me: R-0871 DPD Chlorine Test R-003 DPD reagent R-0870 DPD Powder So, I got the CYA...

Gotcha, it's looking pretty good. Unfortunately the family doesn't want to wait a few more days for a super clear pool, so I've dropped the chlorine back to 5ppm or so. Now everybody can swim. The pool is better than it was thanks to the advice from you and everybody else, thanks. Next...

That was a great post. I will try to raise my CYA to 20ppm using tablets and stabilizer. I will also keep my CL at 10ppm untill the pool is beautiful, or if the CC test comes, Ill check precisely. Then once the CC test shows little change and the water is clear, Ill bring the CL back to 5-6ppm...

Yes, thanks a bunch. I'll be reading that big post thoroughly. This morning my PH is 7.2 still After about 45 hours from dumping the 6% bleach in, my Chlorine has dropped from 20-30ppm down to 8ppm. I added a few cups to bring the cl ppm back up a little, and Ill continue to do that untill...

You're right, my CYA is like 5-10ppm. I've been using the tiny 1 incher tablet in my floaty. I've probably disolved 8, 1 incher chlorine tablets in the pool. Hey aa, you have the same pool as I do, or close. I've got the intex-18x48 btw, I still need to read your full post carefully. I...

Aug 1, this is what it looks like 15 hours after I dumped 3 gallons of 6% bleach Yes, I dumped 3 gallons of 6% bleach in 15 hours hours before this pic was taken. I figured, more would only prove the test to work or not. Yes, I just grabbed this kit...

Yaa, I'm def going to grab that little kit to be more precise. That would help a lot. I just threw a couple gallons of bleach in the pool. I went looking for calculators, but got a little lazy. I dumped 2 gallons of 6% bleach in. Ill test it tomorrow, to see where Im at. Might not go...

o good plan, I'll grab one. Thanks for sharing, I def need to know what it really is. Tonight Ill also be throwing in some liquid bleach.

excellent, I'll try 10ppm. And yes I will find a kit that has a FC and CC, because I don't know either. Maybe Ill call "hth" and ask them what exactly the chlorine test is testing. I'll use the pool calculator you guys have here. Ill probably dump it in when the sun goes down tonight...

oke doke, so I should increase the Chlorine to 10ppm? Well it seams the pool is a little clearer today, but no where near your second pic. That's what it looked like at the beginning! I threw some PH+ in yesterday, so todays test showed 6.8 moved to 7.2ph, yay My CL test went from about...

Do you think filter cartridge pumps are best, or sand pumps are better? Or..?

Hey guys, Here's my lil walmart test kit, tests 6 ways: http://www.walmart.com/ip/HTH-6-Way-Test-Kit/17043668 The CYA test said to fill the jar with the mixture untill I couldn't see the black dot at the bottom. I filled it up to the 30ppm and could still see the black dot quite well. So I...

Thanks a bunch! I forgot to mention, I added a floaty with a chlorine tablet with a couple slots open after the last algae breakout, so the pool is receiving chlorine consistenly as of a week ago. I suppose that makes up for the free chlorine now. ok, so I need a better test kit, you say...

Hi everybody, I've noticed you've got lots of info on this forum. I could def use some info! I've got a clear/cloudy pool. Intex 18' round, 4ft deep, 6200 gallon above ground pool. I can see the bottom pretty well, but its slightly cloudy. This is my first and I've had it for about 2...
