You You are so right...? guess I never even noticed the Non-Swcg levels since I focused on the using SWCG levels more. And perfect. My water is crystal clear so won’t worry about OCLT!! Thank you!!!!

Not sure I do, just thought it was wise to do one with start up.(?)

Okay. Can I start SWG now or do I need to bump up FC first to SWG levels?

Good evening TFP peeps... Unsure what level to get my FC to be at IN ORDER to start using SWG??? Just filled up pool this past Sunday. Started CYA right away. Added Bleach Tuesday to match CYA levels at the time. Added more the next day and again today. Now my test results today (see below)...

Perfect! Thank you mknauss!! Edited to say I will be using Intex SWG once FC is reached.

Hello all TFP peeps... We just got our pool filled up on Sunday. Waiting for CYA to dissolve (added this morning around 11:30). Did get a little rain last night.? May get a little more tonight. ? Have read where CYA levels take 24 hours to be fully dissolved and accurate. Can I or should I...

Hello just curious if my test kit solutions are still okay to use from last year?

With 3 or 4 different days of rain recently, my pool water has turned clear green. I had my FC at shock level right before the first rain (new pool water) This morning FC was 7 after the OCLT which was 7.5 last night. Cya last night was 65-70. I don't feel like I have algae. It has tons of dirt...

Hello everyone.... :wave: Here are my results from tonight.... FC: 6 TA: 110 Cya: 50 Ph: 7.9-8 (that is taken with OTO drop kit from Walmart as I realized I had the T-50 test kit) CC: 0 (from this morning and this evening) Water is clear, temp about 82 with a little dirt in the bottom...

Using Trichlor 3" pucks along with SWG??? Ok well it was beginning to look a little yuk so I did shock it again tonight after we had been in it so should I just add some stabilizer and bring my CYA up a little tomorrow?? had been thinking it was too low all along.

Thanks Richard320..... yes, I've gone through several nights of dry acid lowering my Ph and then aerating to lower my TA (which is staying high at 130-140)....but can't seem to keep that process up continuously since my ph is up by the very next day.......may try muriatic acid instead if it is...

Hello everyone.... :lol:...I'm sure this answer is somewhere in this website....but finding it is tough with so many threads so heres my question..... I have a SWCG...my FC has stayed between 3.5 and 6 for over a week now.....shocking once right after filling up with new liner...... BUT.....my...

Well I've gotten my water clear :party: but it now causes the our skin to feel dry and itchy. :grrrr: ....what causes this?? Test results from tonight: FC: 4.5 CC: 0 Ph: 7.8 then 7.2 (after added dry acid working on TA) TA: 140 (will check again shortly)....now 110 with aeration Cya: 50 CH...

Thank you....yes, I've been working on my TA but wasn't able to last night....but it started out at 230 so it's already looking better. I really think I want to raise my CYA just slightly so I will add more stabilizer tonight. Will continue to get the TA down this afternoon as well. Thanks...

Hello everyone....sorry to take so long to report again!!! My water is looking awesome!!!! Thanks so much for all the help with this.... Heres test results from tonight: FC: 5 Ph: 7.6 TA: 140 Cya: 55 (now that my R-0013 reagent came in today... :party: ) Ch: haven't tried it again, but will...

It will be....but should I continue to run just the filter?? I was going to aerate during the night but am really afraid the water level will drop below the skimmer before morning if I do.

Sorry....one more thing... :blah: With the 300 mph winds we had today... :shock: I seemed to have a lot of evaporation....may have to add more water tomorrow...ugh.... Will this throw off everything that I am doing or I have achieved at this point???

Thank you....thank you....thank you!!!

The water is looking better I think or atleast according to my husband....(I think I look and mess with it so much that I can't see as much change..lol)....It does seem more clear and maybe only a dark blue but less greenish tint....still plan to unplug the copper element..... As for the...

Ok...hello everyone....I am back!!! Still working on getting Ph and TA regulated.....Have not been able to test for CYA as I ran out of R-0013....did order a refill from here but have not received it in the mail..... Did have the pool store test for CH today since I have not been able to get...

We have used that in years past.....would a "clairifier" help any??? Still trying to go lower with my Ph so that my TA will drop as well.....this morning it was 180 which was down from 230 last night.......will retest Ph in morning and maybe aerate tommorow to help with TA. Did you happen to...

Thanks RobbieH....my CC this morning was .5....didn't test again tonight as it got dark before I got home from sons baseball game. Biggest problem I have with getting the Ph down is that the closest place to by any type of acid is 30 miles away....will get more tomorrow hopefully!.....Tested...

Has everyone given up on me??? Still looking for some help with my CH test and dullness of my water. Still trying to get my Ph and TA down. One thing I am also noticing is even with the salt in the water....the water still makes our skin feel horrible, dry, itchy, almost feels like its burning...

Okay....thanks....here are results from just now... Ph...7.8 (which I know is high aftering aerating all night) TA....180 (that's better from 230, right???) CH....?????? (I don't know if I'm just totally stupid or what, but I can't seem to get this test result to work.....I followed the...

What do mean by this....my pool is newly filled about 2 weeks ago....and the pump has ran pretty much 24/7 since....????

Okay....thanks....here are results from just now... Ph...7.8 (which I know is high aftering aerating all night) TA....180 (that's better from 230, right???) CH....?????? (I don't know if I'm just totally stupid or what, but I can't seem to get this test result to work.....I followed the...

Thanks....did the overnight test and actually went from FC 4.5/CC 1 last night to FC 6/CC .5 this morning.....can it actually go up instead of down??? I did aerate my water overr night...... oh and used my Copper dip strip this morning at it was zero....so not sure about metals????

Same here..... Ok one more thought to the dullness of my water.... I just read on TFP that "metals" in the water can give it a greenish but clear appearance.... Could that also be my problem as my SWG still has the copper plate inside it......and I've been afraid to "unplug" it like I've read...

Yep....I just use the husband to help with plumping the filter and pump.....otherwise :blah: (no offense to all the other husbands).....

Thank you mpacheco72!!!!.....oh and BTW, this is the Wife!!! :lol:
