Thanks for the reply. Based on your reply I should get my CYA up to at least 30ppm. However, per my initial post I have tried to do this without success. The 2 shock treatments I have done in the last 5 days has reduced the CC from 1.8ppm to 0.8ppm without CYA at 30ppm. The info I did not think...

Hi All, I have thoroughly read and re-read the thread It Can Happen to Anyone By Richard aka Chem Geek. Sorry, I don't know how to create a link to the thread. I found this post after searching similarities to what is happening to my pool. Without a long background of how I got here (bad...

Thanks for all of the imput! I was using 3" Chlorine Tabs in addition to the Cal-Hypo. I was not aware the Chlorine Tabs caused the pH to decrease. I have read some other posts and thought I might try aerating the pool with our power washer to see if this will help the pH rise without affecting...

Thanks for your quick replies. 1. The pool water looks pretty good. I do have very determined & diffcult to scrap off green-yellow algea in small areas of the pool walls that shock levels of chlorine do not seem to make it fully go away. The low pH concerns me due to what I think is metal...

Hi All! I have maintained my pool for the past 5 summers. The last 2 summers have been AWFUL! Unstable FC & TC, high TA, low pH and rising CH. The Pool Store's advice has helped only to empty my wallet. Add muradic acid ($) then ph+ (more $). This did not solve anything, since both chemicals...
