are you letting your water get to room tempature if your water is cold. I know i was getting higher readings when i tested colder water and someone on here told me to let it get to room tempature before doing the test

I was also in the same boat just less than a week ago and i had been holding shock level for about 2 weeks with a high TA (300) and CH (320 i believe) and after taking the great advice and having patience after a few more days i could make out my liner patterns and was well over the annoying...

I think i am going to try to add a little DE to my sand filter to see if that can get me over the hump and clear it up

Just an update here, the last couple days i slowly added more muratic acid to bring my TA down some more, and i have noticed a significant change in my water. It has went from blue cloudy to a more bright blue and can make out more of the bottom of my shallow end. Deep end i can still only see...

i want one! and i will just walk in there every few days and look around! I could also ask "hey do you guys carry TFP product?

i'm not being impatient just want to make sure everything is on course. Even though the cloudiness is still there i was pretty excited to get the Ch down a little and the TA, makes it alot easier once its clear i can just jump straight in and splash around like a little kid.. LOL And i...

This evening my pool in the shallow end is a lighter blue and the deep end is still a little darker. Very cloudy and can make out my vaccum while doing the shallow end. I added a little bit od muratic acid and got my TA to drop a lil. Should this be clearing up or should my sand filter (clean...

no, just for CC, and why? i have no clue! i re-tested and i came up with .5 for CC... wow i really feel like an idiot!, but idiot or not my waters isn't clear...HAHAHA

lastnight it was 17.5 , and it only took 1 drop to turn pink! WOW what an idiot i am! The last few days i have been counting 1 drop to bring it clear pretty much as 3 and recording as 1.5! WOW someone just come take this pool from me right now...LOL

So i got to test pretty early this morning and this is what i came up with ph-7.5 fc-17 cc-1.5 ( not totally sure because it barely even turned pink) tc- 18.5 Cya-40

ok cool, i will do that tonight and check everything in the morning and post my results first thing. Thanks alot you guys are the best

its not painted, i have a vinyl liner!

12% bleach is being used. Menards had their liquid shock on sale buy one get one free so i bought alot of it.

sorry i thought i posted my CH but i didnt. and cannot find my test sheet from earlier. But from 2 days ago my CH was reading 360. I have been shocking for almost 2 weeks now and before i started the water was a greenish color not too dark, but after starting to shock it turned to the blueish...

ok, thanks linen. I have been at shock level for about 2 weeks now! I am being very patient, but just getting curious if evrything is going the way it should and if anything else needed to be done. I know with the sand filter it could take a little while longer as well. I just want to get...

My water is still a blueish cloudy color, and i can barely see the brush or vaccum on the bottom of the pool. I have been backwashing, scrubbing, and vacuming. I even added a little bit of ekoclean to my sand filter which raised my psi and i had to backwash more frequently. Any imputs of...

Water temp is 70, and i fid not do a calcium test, what would the calcium level and temp have to do with it?

i made the mistake of adding the quantity of bleach at 8% when my bleach was 12%, just wanted to make sure that much over shock level wouldn't screw anything up...rookie mistake

yesterday when testing it was .5, but yesterday evening and today i gave it a very good scrubbing, With a cya of 40 is it ok to keep my fc level over 20? I am so glad i came to this site, i get answers quick!

My pool is a blueish color, and holding chlorine very well but still very cloudy. I have been brushing as much as possible and was wondering if i should add some DE to my filter? it seems it has been about the same for about 3-4 days and i know sand filters take a little longer, but wanted to...

Ok i must have been doing something wrong! What i do not know, but i took my time with testing and i did it twice to make sure they were accurate and this is what i came up with. pool is a blueish still and can see down about a ft. I have a pic but am not sure how to post it to this actual post...

rookie mistake i probably just wrote it down wrong or read it wrong. I will do a full set of tests tonight when i get home. As far as my pool, it is a blueish milky color and i can see down about 12-15 inches. Seems to be getting a little more clear each day

i wasn't sure, just because it is labeled swim shock. Thats still ok to be using though right?

wood it is sodium hypochlorite 12.5%

It was very low almost zero when i opened the pool up, I have ran it a little bit just to keep some chorine constantly going in there as i am adding liquid shock. last test i ran this evening cya-10 f.c. 8 t.c. 16 p.h 7.4 ta 190 ( I know high! gotta get that down a lil with some muritic) C.H 215

I have the Tf-100 i have seen so many people on here rave about, when first opened i had a cya of basically 0 and i'm sure thats why the shocked worked so quickly. I do not want to use it as a means of taking care of my chlorine level. With my line of work i can randomly be gone for 3-4 days...

Hey guys and gals i am a new pool owner with the purchase of my new house. I have gotten my pool up and running and it has turned blueish milky color, but by shocking with liquid shock, and runing my filter and brushing and backwashing i am slowly getting there. Has only been 5 days from open...
