thanks for the info. I decided to go with the following and I can use my military discount at HD Robelle 25 lb. Calcium Plus for Swimming Pools Store SKU #1003108517 Internet #304919712 1 x $44.86 $44.86

I kind of figured that about the testing. Much appreciated by all. Have ordered all new reagents for the CH testing. I think we are all in agreement about the testing. However the post has gotten away from my original question about the product I showed.

I still haven't got an answer on the post. Is that product I posted suitable to use or should I use a pool labled product.? I am under the assumption(haha) that calcium chloride is just that. No matter how its advertised.

Thanks for the link. I see it at the bottom, 115ppm

Thanks, I was getting ready to sorder some, so I guess I need to get some coming

I dont understand, I accidently drained the pool . I had to refill 85% to 90% of the water and now fixing my mistake. I tested with my Taylor kit like always. The solution never turned red to indicate CH. I just retested to verify. If there is any CH in the water I cant see it turn red at all

I have to add a lot of calcium chloride to my pool based on PM and my almost draining mistake. Tested today and PM showed 0 CH. And to achieve 250 I need 16lbs CC. I know it says on the package CC Icemelt pellets.

I did the math on the 7.8 vs 7.4 and its a 5 1/4% diff.. What I have been doing is using the avg of the 2

I guess thats what he was talking about. I always use the 10ml for FC

My test kit uses the 44ml sample and 5 drops

I have asked this before a while back. Never came up with a solution. Anway I had an accidental almost draining of my pool. Not gonna go into details. But none the less it gave me the opportunity to almost have a clean refill. So, after refilling almost 85% of the pool. I am in the process of...

I run a standard skimmer and a pool skim attachment that has always done me well. Maybe I need to increase my rpm a little bit until I get this figured out

Yes robot does. I do plan on doing a OCLT just to be sure

I hope this is posted in the right locaton.I dont post very often so I will start with my numbers. FC 8, TA 80, PH 7.8, Wtr temp 64, CH 250, % output @ 40%, Salt content Avg 2200, Instant 2700, Tested with Taylor kit 3400. CYA not tested. Pool is clear, FC has been staying around 6-8. The brown...

Update on my tests. added calcium chloride and got my CH up to 240. TA 60, PH is staying stable at 7.5

Thank you much. I was thinking the same, just looking for a little conformation. My pool seems to like the 60-80 TA, PH seems to stay a lot more steady at those number. Thanks again.

I did a water test after all of the N. Texas rains. FC 9, PH 7.5 with a digital tester, CYA 60 just added stabilizer, TA 50-60, CH 120. According to the recommended levels for a saltwater pool, ideal is PH 7.2-7.8, TA is 60-80 but 50 -60 is acceptable, CH ideal is 350-550. Should I leave my TA...

So tuesday i added ma because my 1st test was 7.4 and the next 2 were 8. When i tested wednesday afternoon, my 1st and 2nd test were the same at 7.4, so i did not do test 3. 7.4 was my target value. Hum.....

Yes eveeytime. I just had a thought though...I wonder if a new test vial would help. I have actually washed it and scrubbed it w hot soap and water.

Yea and I am lost as to the answer, other than testing 3 times like i have been doing

7.2 to 7.8 approx

I agree with taking an average. . Thanks. One would think...here we go thinking?, that the results would be really close to the same from the same sample bottle of water.

Ive doing it this way long enoigh, i almost think this is normal and a habit. I do 3 ph test back to back wo thinking

I do a test, rinse, repeat, do a tes, rinse repeat. Using new reagent, and yes i mix bottle prior to use. The difference in test results is very obvious in color Like I sa8d iam lost

In different locations i should clarify. I draw 1 same bottle of water and do all my testing from that bottle, weather it be fc, ph ta etc..... Then next time I test I draw from a different location...same results

I been having the following issue for a while. First of all I am very meticulous with my testing. So the issue is when I run the 1st PH test ,lets say for conversation its 7.2 So I test again to verify and its always higher on the 2nd test. All test after the 2nd one are consistent with the 2nd...

Play with pool math and insert values to see what needs to be done to achieve a slight negarive CSI

Have you purchased a proper test kit yet as mknauss said. Post your results then then those w the knowledge can help. Use pool math to determine the amounts to add. As far as stabilizer dont add the whole amount at once. Ease into it. Easier to add to reach value than remove it. Once u learn...

Iam the same. Fc and ph 2 times a week or after heavy use. The rest maybe twice a month depending on weather and adding water. Test your fill water too, so u will know what ur adding

Very good explanation
