    WaterGuru Sense S2 vs my own Taylor Drop Tests

    Oh I was not aware that I needed to go to the end point of blue. I will have to test again at some point and see. ----- Update on Waterguru. This mornings test Sense S2 FC: 8.3 (This is an increase from the test yesterday 17 hours ago when I did not add any additional chlorine) pH: 7.4...

    WaterGuru Sense S2 vs my own Taylor Drop Tests

    I added 5 of R-0012 before the buffers then did the normal test. Final result appears to be 240 CH (19+5) this time...maybe 230 because it looked slightly purple when spinning on the speedstir, but when I turned off the speedstir it looked blue. Will test again tomorrow to see. ------ Got a...

    WaterGuru Sense S2 vs my own Taylor Drop Tests

    I have searched this forum and read an almost identical thread and other people talking about WaterGuru. I have also checked elsewhere. It seems there have been mixed results with using it, but I wanted to post here as a new pool owner who just got the WaterGuru and just learning to use the...

    First time opening a pool, not sure if doing things right

    So after the drain I did yesterday and doing a test this afternoon I believe my numbers are better now. CYA appears to be down to 50...maybe 40, but I went with 50 because I stared at it longer to see it after going past the 40 mark. Had to buy a larger body of CYA Reagent since the Taylor kit...

    First time opening a pool, not sure if doing things right

    Thank you. I ran the test this morning under these conditions and going to each line and looking. It appeared to be at 70 CYA. Decided to vacuum to waste today a long time to just clean up some loose dirt I could see on the ground...at least I think it was dirt, and drained the pool water in...

    Rust stains from magnetic pool lights

    The previous owners connected 2 LyLmLe LED Pool Lights which have a magnetic base to the pool. I noticed it looked rusty around it now while working on cleaning the pool. I pulled off the lights and they appear to have caused major rust stains. I am curious on the following: Can I remove the...

    Ok, that makes sense for spam prevention. I figured it might be something like that.

    First time opening a pool, not sure if doing things right

    Good to know on the CH. I will skip that test for now then. And that extra but about the CYA testing was helpful and answers my questions on that. I was also interpolating between lines which I should not do it seems. Though this does all mean that my CYA is likely high. I have drained the pool...

    Thread Disappeared?

    I posted my first thread in Just Getting Started. It was there for a while, but now it seems to be missing. I made two edits to it at some point, do edits put it into moderation and that is why it is missing or did I do something wrong that has resulted in it being deleted?

    First time opening a pool, not sure if doing things right

    I purchased a house early this year. The house came with an above ground pool with a deck built around it. Pool is an oval 33' x 18'. I made my first mistake when I decided to try and take off the "tarp as a cover" myself and as a result a lot of dirt and debris ended up in the the pool. I have...
