Thank you. My pool is clear, so I am thinking of going with reverse osmosis. Thanks again for the feedback.

Thank you so much for following up. How will I know how much of a drain to do--1/3?1/2? how much wld it cost? Also, I live in southern California where temperatures right now are soaring, we also have a pool cover. The water is pretty hot with the pool heater so we have turned the heater off...

Hello, I did a TF-100 test and my values are as follows: pH = 7.8 FC= 11 ppm CC= 0 ppm TA= 160 CH= 480 CYA = 90 The test kit indicates that CYA shld be between 30-80. How shld I get my CYA down? Please let me know. Thanks in advance for all your help. Sincerely, Aruna

Thank you, I will start the slamming process and post the results.

Thanks guys. I will follow your advice and scrub hard on a regular basis and shock the pool. And save up to do a re-surfacing soon. I have ordered the TF-100 test, will post results as soon as I get it and read up on pool school. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone for the prompt response. I checked the spots by scraping it and it is definitely green when I rub it on white paper. The pool guy used chlorine tablets in the pod and liquid chlorine. I tried ordering TF-100 test from the website listed but it seems to be down. I will try...

We just purchased a house with a pool. Everything looked good with the pool during inspection when we purchased the house. We hired a pool guy to show us clean up and maintenance. After 3 weekly cleaning sessions, he left us a note saying that he can't service the pool until we fix 2 issues: a)...
