    BioActive Try

    Well, it's been five days since I added the Bio-Active. So far I haven't seen any reduction. Just for the record: FC ~ 1.5 to 2.0 CC .5 CYA still measures between 70 and 80 with a 3:1 dilution So there you have it. I will sample again on the 10th day in case those little bacteria are planning a...

    California pool- Water evaporation, High CYA level -NO WATER!! It's a long story ...

    This will be the first summer with a pool cover. After I get the cya down, (still hoping on the $36 a bag bio-active solution) I will use as much chlorine as needed, per your statement. Out of mindless curiosity, how often to top off your pool from water evaporation?

    I haven't called the DWP about pool repairs. Certainly wouldn't hurt to do that if they'll be willing not to penalize me. I have a small submersible pump and a longgggg hose that will reach an outdoor clean out. Not a problem with clandestinely emptying the pool. Lol. But having a cover with...

    Yeah, I understand the key to any success is to get the CYA under control. If I can get the chlorine to the correct level needed for killing algae, and I get the CYA down, is it just a matter of getting the FC count corrected in a overly heated (which may not be too inviting) pool? I've read...

    Hi all. I hoping this thread will bring some ideas of not using new water and ways of conserving existing water in our California pools. I'm a newbie here and veteran with my pool. I've always done my own work. No matter what that may entail. Electrical, plumbing, cleaning. Earlier this year...

    BioActive Try

    Hi All- Newbie here. I am in the midst of lowering my cya by using bio-active. I have a K2006 test kit and it shows the cya to > 100 so I diluted the solution (fresh water and pool water) to about 3:1 and now it measures around 70~80 in the cya vile. So I guess the translates to cya level of...
