Old panty hose. I use the some nylon sleeve for drainage pipe. Had a roll from a project and just cut a piece when I need it.

I had noticed this on mine also. I don't think the water circulates from the spa to pool very well. Every so often I turn the valves to empty the spa into the pool, then refill with pool water. Worked for me.

The feeling here is that test strips are not very accurate. A good test kit is recommended, as pointed out in "PoolSchool" pool-school/pool_test_kit_comparison

Being in control of your pool is very satisfying. It may be better to lower your SWG output, let it run for the time your pump is on for a turnover of water.

FPM I've noticed the same thing, one out five has some eye stinging and redness.

After your pump is up and running you need to start shocking and brushing. This is a link from Pool School. Check out the other articles about algae. I believe you want to lower your ph to 7.2 before shocking, others will respond on this. Use the pool calculator to determine how much bleach...

I use a white background, my house. Keep a white piece of paper 8 1/2x11 in the test kit.

Great pictures, I am amazed at the conversions I see on the forum. Very impressive!

Very good, on your way to a Trouble Free Pool

Your CC is high, shock with bleach until you hold FC over night and CC of .5 or less. The TA could be lowered, if you haven't read the article in Pool School its worth the info for lowering TA. You can turn off the SWCG during shock.

This article from pool school at the top of page will answer alot of questions. pool-school/baqua_chlorine_conversion

Re: Conversion in progress... Its looking pretty good. There's a sense of accomplishment, feels good. Your going to enjoy taking care the pool, because your in control.

If you put the specifics about your pool in your signature, it would help. Also your location. Easier for the people in the know to help you.

duraleigh, I have a PS234 kit and got replacement kit from you. Thanks for stepping up on kits. The instructions for PS234 does not list chemicals the same. This maybe of interest to some. PS234 FAS-DPD #1 = R-0870 DPD POWDER FAS-DPD #2 = R-0871 FAS/DPD CHLORINE TEST FAS-DPD #3 POTASSIUM...

MeSue, welcome to TFP. A lot of great people here to help you out. You may want to post on the Baquacil Use/Conversion section. I have a TF100 and couldn't ask for anything better. Dave

Nice site and kit, I like to layout. Thinking of passing my current kit (Ben's) on to a friend. Trying to bring from the dark side and to the BBB method. Maybe back to your site soon.

I see from the posts so far the people from NJ suggesting pollen. That was my cause of cloudy water a week ago. I had to backwash 3 days apart. Skimmer socks had 1/4" of pollen coating them a day.
