thanks for the reassurance...

Mine is in a plain clear generic bottle with a white label- no batch number. Always stored at room temp on top of my china cabinet- not in direct light

Thanks Jason. When I add the R-0012 regant as the final step in the CH test, it looks "curdled," but the mixture does turn blue. I don't recall if that happened when I first got it. What say you?

I've had my full kit for over three years and have only purchased the chlorine tester (stored at 72 degrees). I recently used the Calcium test, nd while the solution didn't mix well, the color changed as expected. Is it time for new testers?

How much pipe anti freeze should I need? Also, what is polyquat 60? Do I cycle the polyquat befor closing?

I am closing the pool for the first time next month. A&S Pool Service Department wants lots of cash to just add chemicals and to blow out pipes. Can anyone here advise what type of "closing" chemicals I will need to have on hand . I don't know what my numbers will be then (mid Oct), I am...

What is the standard shock level for FC?

Thanks Jason, I turned the SWG down to 19%. At which point in FC level do I begin to damage equipment (pump internals, solar cover, etc.)?

My SWCG (Aquapure 1400) was originally set at 50% with no cover and kept the FC at about 5. Once things began to cool down at night (55 degrees), the FC got to about 11. I set the SWCG to 40% and then turned on my heatpump and put on a solar cover which has been on fro about 4 days. My water...

These are my numbers today: FC- 7 CC- 0 TC- 7 PH-7.2 TA-90 CH-240 CYA-50 Temp. 80 Any suggestions?

I just received my TFP Test kit. I tested the FC twice and my results are off the chart [high]-orange. PH at 7.2. The day prior I got a computer analysis and FC tested at 2.45 . My pump was running 24 hours with the tri-chlor pucks in the skimmer baskets while waiting the 30 days from...

So that means I'll continue to get a metal reading in my tests?

New numbers today (A&S Computer Analysis): FC- 2.55 TC- 2.14 PH- 7.2 CH- 240 TA- 90 CYA-45 Copper- .61 Iron- 1.17 TDS- 200 The pool water is crystal clear. This past Sunday I added Blue Shield Metal Magnet from Namco Pool store. It must be snake oil 'cause the metals are barely...

Good to know about the NEW plaster increasing the calcium. The plaster is new as of 6/28/07.

That should read 13.5 pounds of calcium and ttc should be [tc].

Thanks for the quick reassurance. My hardness number yesterday was 170, and the A&S store told me to add 13.5 lbs of acid divided equally over 3 days. The shock I used was the granular cal-hypo. My ph was at about 7.2 before doing so and my TA yesterday was 80-100. CYA yesterday was 35. I...

OK, I know I goofed, how bad? I added Calcium Increaser but diluted in bucket with water ahead of time and it turned hot (4lbs.). I've been so acustomed to diluting everything that I didn't realize I was suppossed to broadcast it in dry. I didn't read instructions until after my next goof up...

Thanks. I added the metal magnet but according to the back of Leslies paper on the chemicals, it said not to add the calcium on the same day as baking soda, so I'll wait till tomorrow night to add the calcium since I added baking soda this morning.

Ok, tehse are my test results from Leslies and Anthony and Sylvan (A&S are computer analysis). I took the water sample after putting in the 4 lbs. of baking soda. Leslies: FC 5+ TC 5+ PH 7.5 TA 80 (go figure) Calc. Hard 220 Cy Acid...

Thanks. Some yellow stains that had left have returned to my pool in the last couple of days, in the same area. Could my water have metal in it? Also, I was reading my A&S manual last night and it says not to add more than two pounds of baking soda at once. Then it says if my TA is below 50...

Thanks Jasonlion, the I meant CC for combined chlorine. How much baking soda do I need for my size pool and how much is safe to add at one time? BTW, my SWG will be turned on by next month.

Forgot to ask, what chemicals do I need to add to make things right?

Hi all, I just shocked last night (1st time) at about 9:30 pm based on recommendation of service dept. guy who stated do it one week after indoctrination and the fact that we had a pool full of kids day this past Thursday (and several kids in since first day). The pool is less about two weeks...
