You were right. Pool had distinct odor of pond today. No longer milky. Cloudy and turning darker. Started SLAMming. CYA reagent did not arrive. Too bad. Will report the final numbers after pool is clear. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Day 3.5 water conditions Milky Temp = 86 F FC = 0 CC = 0 pH = 7.4 TA = 80 CYA = Unknown (more test reagent tomorrow) Pool is cloudier, milkier than yesterday. Drains at 5 foot depth are partially obscured. Doesn't look like algae to me, but I am no algae expert.

Day 2.5 water conditions: Water no longer clear. Milky is how I would describe it. Slightly milky. Temp = 86 F FC = 0 CC = don't know, forgot to measure pH = 7.4 (added 6 oz. acid) TA = 80, though very close to turning red at 70 CYA = don't know, ran out of reagent (more on the way) I have...

Day 1.5 Water Conditions: Clear (Is it starting to look slightly less clear? Took a few swipes with the brush and didn't see any plumes of algae.) Temp = 85 F FC = .2 (Tap water read .2 this morning) CC = 0 pH = 7.4 (added approx. 6 oz. acid (per Taylor acid demand chart) to keep pH in the low...

You are right about the sampling error. I took the 1.5 reading several hours later in the day and an hour or so after the pump had stopped compared to the previous day's 1.8 reading. So, the de-chlorination went like this: Friday morning FC = 4 Saturday morning FC = not sure Sunday morning FC...

Thank you. And thank you for the hydrogen peroxide information. That would be smart to de-chlorinate more quickly. I am just reading this Sunday morning so that trick might have to wait until I can get some H2O2 and if the level doesn't reach zero before then. Interestingly, after reading FC =...

Hi Everyone, I have read through many of the CYA posts on this topic. I understand generally poor results have been obtained. I am going to try this with FC = 0. Quick background. I am a recovering dichlor abuser of 7 years. Thanks to this site, I, for the first time, feel like I understand...
