I have used the dichlor for the first 4 days then switched over to bleach. It's worked very well for me thus far. I just wasn't sure if I can locate the actual dichlor in a store. I thought I read somewhere some dichlors have calcium in them but could be confusing it with something else. Either...

I can't for the life of me find on here what dichlor I should purchase. I recall that it shouldn't have calcium in it?? Does this still hold true? Is there a store I can purchase it from? I had purchased a bag from Amazon but I'd like to get the pool set up this weekend but am completely out of...

Thanks for the tips! Bodarville I will follow your schedule although we are taking down the pool come fall.

I have read the pool school quite a few times and on day 5 it does say to continue to test for chlorine and PH. Does this mean that I shouldn't test for TA, CH, or CYA any longer or should I continue? I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. My PH and cya levels have been pretty good...

The PH yesterday was 7.2. TA was 30. Today PH Dropped to 6.8. TA at 40. I added the baking soda and borax.

Thanks Richard. The pool calculator does everything for you that’s great to know! I briefly looked at the pool calculator. Need to do some more reading on this. Once I start with the dichlor I will start testing and plug in the numbers. I’m ordering all my stuff today.

I missed the key words on the measurement sheet that came with the pool gallons/hour I just went with that figure. I failed to tell you that I'm terrible with calculations! Another reason why I'm hesitant to do this myself but my husband works crazy hours so I'm left to maintain the pool. Based...

Hello I haven't set up the intex pool yet as I'm trying to get everything and become knowledgable of the pool world before I start maintaining the pool. Ive purchased the hth6 way test kit for now. The dichlor I've seen on Amazon some say they have sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione. Is the the...
