Thanks, that’s what I had assumed. What about during the night or cold season? Wouldn’t the FC be less bound to CYA in the absence of UV rays, thus more effective and therefore more corrosive?

I just recently had our pool resurfaced and the cya level is 30ppm. It is a SWG pool. Currently it has 6ppm chlorine. Will this cause the finish to bleach or etch over time? From what others have said regarding swimmer safety, it sounds like 6ppm FC is fine but not sure about it in terms of...

Does that mean though that the phosphate remover will remove both the orthophosphates and phosphonates? I had thought that phosphate removers didn't bind to phosphonates. By using both at the same time it might allow the phosphonates to do their job and once they are oxidised into...

I routinely use a phosphate remover to remove phosphates from my pool water (plaster pool). I live in a warm climate and so in the summer time sometimes the FC level can get below the FC/CYA ratio. Keeping phosphates out of the water seems to be a good thing in preventing algae, but I've had...

We will be resurfacing our swimming pool this coming week. To do this, we must completely empty it. A gas heater is used to warm the pool during winter. When we empty the pool, water sitting in the gas heater and its piping will drain out into the pool. I am concerned about possible corrosion...

It is a concrete pool. I actually was told by the pool shop to add a clarifying shock treatment called Clear by Softswim. It does indeed have clarifiers in it. I have also been using Softswim Clear which has minerals and I believe clarifieers as well. CSI is 0.1

The pH was actually 7.6 and the salt is 6000 ppm. I used Lo-chlor scale eliminator

TC: 0.6ppm FC: 0.4ppm CYA: 40ppm pH: 0.6 TA: 100 CH: 244 These were the results obtained at the pool shop earlier today. I was told to shock the pool with dichlorvos but now a few hours later it's back down to what it was.

I recently added a scale eliminator to our swimming pool (made up of a concentrated acrylic polymer complex) due to large amounts of scale buildup on the SWG that would quickly rebuild even after putting the cell in an acid bath. Within 24-48 hours of doing this, the chlorine demand increased...
