Thank you, Chris. I just reread the “abc’s of pool chemistry” and I understand now ( I think). I only get morning sun on a portion of my pool so this could also be a factor, along with the daily debris. My skimmer isn’t that great but I’ve ordered a solar cover to use to help cut down...

I was advised to keep FC at 10 for a few days to lower my CC. Results after using PoolMath—- 7/18 Ph 7.5 FC 10.5 CC .5 No chlorine added this day 7/19 PH 7.5 FC 5.5 CC .5 7/20 PH 7.5 FC 8.5 CC .5 I added chlorine this morning with target of 10 for FC. Since it only registered 10+ one day...

Thank you, Chris. Will this be a continual battle with the tree droppings? This is light compared to what will happen in a storm, fall, and spring. Or is it because I was keeping my chlorine too low to begin with? I clean the leaves out several times a day and will start vacuuming daily until I...

My TA was 80, I didn’t check it yesterday before adding the chlorine and acid. The water doing the cc test is slightly pink. So, even though I’m at 8, I’m just barely there with the 1 reading? I added a cup of chlorine this morning and usually add 1-2 daily except for yesterday when I was...

Today’s results after adding chlorine and muriatic acid... Ph 7.5 Fc 7 CC 1 TC 8 CYA 38 Temp 86 Looks good ! Right? Pool math worked like a charm!

@IceShadow Thank you... I’ll use pool math to raise my chlorine e and then later I’ll do the same for the acid. Appreciate your advice!???

I didn’t know what you meant by dry acid, but have since read about it. I already purchased the 2 pack of muriatic acid from Home Depot. We should get some rain this week so I’m holding out for that unless it’s critical I bring my PH down now.

FC -4 CC-1 TC-5 PH-8 Temp- 85 I didn’t do all the tests again since these are the ones in question. Does this seem right?

No shock. Only chlorine. I followed directions carefully but I’ll repeat again this evening to make sure. I have been using test sticks and thought my ph was too high after adding borax. I was waiting for my test kit to have more accurate reading. I’m a little leery of muriatic acid.

FC5.5 CC3 PH8.2 TA 80 CH 150 CYA 40 Temp 84 CSI ? Summer Waves 16’ x 48”, skimmerplus flter pump SFX1500+

My water is clear. I don’t keep it covered. I think I may have confused myself ... my apologies. I think my FC is 4.5. I added that number to my Cl number. I’m going to redo it a little later.

Really quick delivery! My test results- Cl 5 Ph 7.8-8.2 (hard for me to determine which color is closer) CC 4.5 TC 9.5 TA 100 (not sure on this since I was looking for red but it was pink and just kept getting darker pink) CYA 40 I think these numbers are good? Much appreciation to this forum!

Ok, I reread some articles and moved the sock by the outflow. I just ordered the TF 100 test kit. Thanks for your help!

My CYA is not detectable. I have a sock hanging with 3 c. of cya. PoolMath said to add 28 oz. My FC is 2/4. I added 2 cups of 10% chlorine (before I did the PoolMath). PoolMath said to add 11 oz. My question is, if I need to add 28 oz of cya, and it's in a sock dissolving very slowly, do I need...
