I found your forum this summer while trying to troubleshoot my cloudy pool water (which I solved thanks to trouble free pool and the forums). Now I am looking for some help with my spa. The hot tub came with the house but the very organized owner passed on every manual and receipt as well as...

thank you for all your help, after lots of time and lots of bleach we have a beautiful, clear pool. We got some swim time in and most importantly we will be ready to start our year properly next year with all the new tools we have! Thank you!

Continuing to make progress, brought my CYA down, my PPM on my FC is not declining nearly as much overnight. It's at 20.5 this morning and I want to maintain at 24 so we're closer and it's clearing up every day.

I was doing the 25 but I started using the 10 after i read your post. Much easier. We are making good progress, although we still need to drain some more water to get the CYA down a bit more. Still at 80. I went out of town and gave my husband some instructions on bleach but we didn't keep...

Ok, we will drain and refill some. I was only able to get my FC up to 14.4 with the bleach I had on hand, CC is down to .4. Will get to work on this today and to bring down CYA. I did a repeat test in the sun and it looks more like 80 ppm, still high so we will drain some. Thanks so much!

Woo hoo, test kit is in. I hope I did all the tests right, I am sure you will all be able to tell by my numbers if I screwed something up. First, thank you for all the valuable info and the pool school section. In one week we have made vast improvements while being fairly conservative on...

I've ordered my test kit, if I'm lucky I'll have it by Saturday. So unfortunate that we are unable to enjoy are pool in the anticipated 104 degree heat this weekend. I wish I had found the site sooner and I appreciate all the great educational info. I've learned a lot in the past couple of...

So here is what I have (test strips right now, but I realize I need to get a dropper kit, yes?) CYA 50 ppm Is total chlorine the same as combined chlorine? Right now 3ppm FC is 10 or over, since that is as high as my test strip goes my alkalinity is 120ppm I need to read the shock...

Will do very shortly, thank you.

I joined hoping for some help that I am not finding locally. I have a 12000 gallon above ground pool. At the beginning of pool season we discovered our filter had stopped working, which lead to a very swampy pool. We have since treated it for algae, shocked the heck out of it, got all of our...
