Ok - I held chlorine levels over 10 for 24 hours YEAH!!!! Thanks for all your help.

Ok - well I took my water to pacific pools and they did a chlorine demand test and told me I need now to add either 20lbs of calcium hypochlorite or 20 gallons of liquid chlorine. Which is stronger or are they the same?

Did I cause more of a problem by not reaching the breaking point and waste money last night?

Did I waste my money with the chlorine last night? No reaching the breaking point. It did clear up my pool so it is not cloudy anymore.

Ok - Well my FC did not hold over night. My water is now clear. I have to test my cc. So do I keep shocking tonight. What do you reccommend as the strongest possible shock?

I finally reached fc of over 10!!! So I am done correct ?

I don't trust them. My pool is cloudy and the did tell me to use the phosphate remover. They don't seem to know what they are doing. I am planning on shocking tonight. Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate all of your help. You are the best!

Hi jasonlion, The pool store said it could clear up on it's own. That the combined chlorine will lower naturally and I don't need to shock. They said that with the cold water and sunshine it will go down. I am not sure to believe them. What do you think?

Thank you so much for your help! You are the best! Tomorrow night is a shock party at my house!!

Ok I did this. Put five gallons of pool water in a bucket. 2) Add 1 oz of 6% bleach 3) mix throughly 4) wait one hour 5) test the FC level 6) The fc is above 10

Ok - does this sound correct. After doing this test and some math. I figured I need to buy 21 gallons of liquid chlorine. Does this sound correct or is my math wrong?

So should I keep adding liquid chlorine? How much chlorine and is cc ammonia? Thank you so much for your help. I am worried about it.

I have never had a problem until this year with the cover blowing in. Why is the free chlorine at 0 while the total chlorine at 8?

Hi I have a problem with cloudy water. My winter cover blew in during a terrible storm last week with basically everything going into the pool (all that junk and water). I have a 14,000 gallon pool. My readings are as followed. CYA 50 total Chlorine 8 Free chlorine 0 ph of 7.4 alkalinity 170...

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I will look into a heat pump! Mark

Hi, I am considering buying a pool heater for my pool. My pool is 15 by 30 inground and about 14,000 gal. I live in Buffalo NY and have a short swimming season. I looked into solar heaters but my roof space is about 15 by 18 feet where I could put the panels and I am not sure how to install...

Hi - I am in need of a good solar cover. Can anyone recommend the best type of solar cover? My inground pool does not have a heater. I was looking at a clear cover and 14 - 16 mil. But not sure if it will be too heavy and whether get diamond or regular bubbles.

Thanks for all your help! I appreciate it and I love this site!!

Hi, I have and inground pool that is 16 years old. It has the original liner and it is faded and Very wrinkled. A company told me that the previous owner must have not kept the PH correct. Should I have it replaced? It cost about $3,200 to replace it. How long will a new liner last? Thanks...
