It was my mistake leaving the SWG on, i just forgot it was set for last years levels. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your help in gettings things settled with my pool. Now i'm in the process of dialing in my CYA and down my TA to get things right. Just one thing i don't quite understand - if I have to schock the pool this summer for any reason would I have to bring it to such high levels...

Check my levels this morning, here are the results: FC - 10 CC - 0 TA - 110 - 120 CYA - 20 I made a mistake and had my chlorine generator running at 60% during the shock process. Explains to me why my chlorine levels may not have dropped as i would have expected. Lowered it to 0 for the...

Hi Chem Geek, Rec'd my TF-100 test kit today and this is what I came up with when I tested the water: FC - 11 CC - 0 TA - 130 (Pool store readings were 105 last week so I'll test again in the am just to be sure) CYA - 20 PH 7.6 Salt 3200 Pool water looks beautiful. Kids swam yesterday wet...

Just checked - you're right I have the 2005. I ordered the TF-100 Kit last week but haven't rec'd it yet. Hopefully it comes on Tuesday. Chem Geek - do you think the kids can swim tomorrow weather is going to be nice? The pool looks great nice clear water.

I shocked with liquid chlorine on Thursday morning 2.5 gallons and my FCC levels went well above 5 and the white film has disappeared completely. I've been running my pump since then. The weather has been bad here in Nj so I haven't notice a drop in the FC level below 5 which is the highest I...

Thanks for the reply about raising CYA until after shock process. Just got home from work and I tested the chlorine level and it went up to 1 from .5. i will order the XL option like you suggested. The film on the water seems to be improving as well. Thanks again

In reading in the Pool school it looks like I should raise my CYA to around 80 up from 60 to hold onto the FC since I have a SWG? I also receive a fair amount of sunlight so I'm assuming I should be at the higher end of the CYA range. I wasn't able to test the CYA myself since I don't have any...

Thanks for the info. I don't really understand i just used over 7 qts of bleach to shock the pool on Monday and another 2lbs of Smart Shock last night. When I look at the Pool School directions for the shock process I see my shock FC is 24. What does that mean? 24 oz? Sorry if I'm being...
