Lol!!!! But shouldn't I have lost some chlorine????

Hello and welcome! I'm new too, but wanted to quickly chime in until the experts arrive....your CYA needs to be increased. If you are at 0, you won't be able to maintain FC. Read "Pool School" and it will explain a lot. Also, the CYA/FC ratios. Also look at Pool Math...that will tell you how...

So I tested this at 7:49am: FC. 7 CC 0 pH 7.4 After 4 kids playing for 2 hours midday.... tested again at 5:49pm FC. 7 CC. 0 pH 7.6 Sunny all day and around 87 degrees. I lost NO chlorine???

Make sure the regent you buy from Leslie's is not expired! I bought 2 oz R004 from them an it expired in 2/2017 lol! So back it's going tomorrow.

Thanks as always Richard!:p

So I was low on what should be my "proper level". Pool is crystal clear and looks great... I test daily and here are my results. May 31 FC 4 CC 0 Ph 8 TA 125 CH 250 CYA 70-80 Missed June 1st June 2 am FC 2 CC 0 added 1 gallon of chlorine June 3 am FC 1.5 CC 0 added 1 gallon MA and2...

If you put your question in the "search" bar, which is located in the upper right hand corner, you will find other posts about the same issue. I read a few and it looks like it turns green due to the metals in the water (a chemical reaction I suppose). Im sorry your dealing with this! I am sure...

I have posted a few times about how high my pH is and continually drifts (quickly). I put 1 full gallon of MA in today and it reads 7.4!!!!! That is the most I have ever put in at one time. Pool is 33,000 gallons. I do have a spillover from spa to pool, which aerates the water. How long do you...

How does your water look???!!! Is it clear yet?????

Waterproof tape on the hole! :kim:

WHat about Cloralen from Walmart?

Yesterday morning, numbers were as follows: FC 8 CC 0 pH 8++ TA 125 CH 250 CYA 70 So, I dumped my 4th gallons of Muratic Acid in. The first 2 gallons over the past 3 weeks were from my sister and probably not the freshest. The 2nd 2 gallons I have put in the past week or so, were fresh, from...

I had really high CYA as well and live in SoCal (Temecula). I looked at "Reverse Osmosis", per Richard320's advice. It was going to run around $800 for me with my size of pool. I too hated to "drain and waste" 30k gallons of water when we are barely out of a drought and then refill. I think you...

Thanks as always Richard!:D I didnt sign up for the SoCal Edi-theives tiered rate thing. I have heard bad stories and my bill is not that high, TG!

So my pool has a spillover/waterfall from the attached spa into the pool. I love to hear the water and see the water fall over. I typically run the pump from 10am to 6pm and it is in full sun all day. My questions are: When is best time to run pump? When is best time to add bleach? Should...

Hi Rebecca! Just spoke to you! Thanks for your help with my order!!!

​Right???!!! Lol!! - - - Updated - - - Also, tested after 1 hour , pump on all day...

Yes, they have CYA regent but not Fas-DPD, so I ordered both from here. - - - Updated - - - ok, I think I have the 2006 c "complete"

So I have now added almost 2 gallons of MA, and my pH is still over 8!!! FC 5 CC 0 PH over 8 TA 175 CH 275 CYA ran out of regents, on order from TFkits.com, Pool Store says 70, but my last test was 85-90 MA is 31% from Leslie's.....bought today Any ideas?

Should have bought tK100 from here, but I'm an amazon prime member hence the k-2006. here is my gripe! you need 7 ml to do a CYA test. Kit says it can do 8 CYA test. But each test take 7ml and the 2 bottles only have 22ml in each, so 48 ml total. Which is 6 tests, not 8!!! Further, there is no...

Hi Meadow! meadowview by chance?i live in RedHawk! Was just at Leslie's on 79,today, getting MA! Small work!

Will do Richard! Thank you so much for all your help!!!!

Thanks Richard!!! I was hoping you would say that as it is supposed to be a super hot weekend and kids want to swim!! - - - Updated - - - Thanks Dave! Yes, I will do again tonight...water is and has been crystal clear...thanks to TFP!!! - - - Updated - - - No problem! I so appreciate you...

Thanks Aimee!!!!

Backstory...newbie with super high CYA, around 290 according to Pool Store, which had to be correct since I drained about 75% of pool and CYA tested with my K-2006 was still 85 to 90. So here were the numbers after adding chlorine and trying to do an OCLT Pre OCLT, after sundown...pool pump on...

Hehe! The boys always did it...I was not any kind of "drinker" in highschool...:)

I can answer this one! No, CYA does not go down by itself...draining is only way! Sorry...draining again here too.

Thanks for your quick response!!! - - - Updated - - - So appreciative of your help Richard!

Thanks domct23 and pyrodav! I am going to drain more to get the CYA lower as I need to SLAM. And yes, our water is spendy here in California, but still better to do that then spend for Chlorine.
