Overnight test result: 8pm - FC 4, CC .5 / Ran full test this morning at 6:30am - FC 3.5, CC .5, CH 250, TA 120, CYA 35, PH 7.6 Based on what I am reading it passed. I guess there may have been issue, but running SWG 24 hours and adding the gallon of LC each night got rid of whatever was there...

I tested again at 5pm and got FC 5 and CC 0. I think I did not clean the tube when I first got it, and that might have affected the test. I added 1 gal of 10% LC after and let it run for 30 minutes, so I could practice the test again, knowing it would be different. However, before I could go...

I received the test kit at lunchtime and just had a moment to do all the tests. PH 7.5, FC 4.5, CC 2, TC 6.5, CH 250, TA 110, CYA 35, Salt 3000. Do I do the overnight loss test next? I will test again later today to verify these numbers, as this was my first time. However, it seems like adding...

So, how much would I need to add to get to 10FC? Would that show up once I put it in the pool math app with the first test I do? I'm guessing I'm going to need a lot more liquid chlorine.

I got 3 gallons of 10% LC, was less $. Did an experiment overnight with test strips and SWG running. TC and FC were about 3 last night 30 min after I added the 1 gallon of LC. This morning they were closer in color to 0. While it's just test strips, it seems a lot of loss. Test kit tracking says...

Left pump running 24 hours since your first reply.

Local pet store only had strips. Here is the result from right now.

Tried 4 little bags of shock last night. Was there an hour later on test strips. No chlorine this morning on my test strips. Nothing really to do until kit comes in now. Stopped at pool store for liquid chlorine when kit comes in. Water test showed phosphates jumped to 3000 from 600 last week...

I'll wait till the kit comes in. Hopefully it ships quickly. Thanks. The test for ammonia was somewhere between 0 and 0.5 on the scale which mean negative from the literature that came with it.

Actually, this sounds plausible given this article on this site, Ammonia, as it meets all the criteria listed. I'll swing by the pet store today to get a test and report back.

I'll wait till the kit comes in and am able to test.

Thank you, very interesting. I have a white plaster pool, so I would think algae would be pretty apparent. The water is clear and I can see the bottom no problem. I was told at the store it was the phosphates but now that they came down with the remover I thought it would all be good. Tests are...

My swg is not producing chlorine. Water is crystal clear though. This is my 4th season with pool, we had it installed. Had water tested at two different pool stores yesterday and nearly identical results. Last test showed 2.4 total and .3 free chlorine. Shocked 4 days before last tests. Had high...
