No one swam. No one home. I tested it this morning. It’s 60 but I treat as 70 to be safe. Maybe it’s 50. I’m horrible at that test but I’m confident in 60 but like I said 70 to be safe for fc calculation. So am I not safe then? Crystal clear water. I don’t want to do an overnight test cause I...

Like I said I really don’t know what last night was. 27 to 31/32. No idea cause my tests were all over the board. This morning I know I was at 27. When I got home I know I was at 15.

27 this morning. By 3 pm when I got home I was at 15. I didn’t have my cell on and it was 100 today.

i'm on it. i'm letting it drop back down to maintenance level first (like you mentioned). so at dark i'll see where my level is. if it's between 7-9 (that is going to be my new hold level, it was 6-8) I'll do it tonight. If it's still raised above that I'll wait till tomorrow. pool is...

That was my plan. I’m at 15 right now. I did it once Only. My cell is back on but I have it higher. So I’ll see where it’s st tonight and see. My maintanance level is 7-8. But I’m going to stay higher cause of heat. 8-9. Cya 70

ok thanks brian. i am so consistent when i test. i only had my mom test cause she knows how to and wanted another set of eyes. i always try to go same speed and same amount of powder. i might just do like originally said from the beginning and like you said. bring it up and let it come...

yup

I’m sorry I was talking about my overnight test going from 8 to 7. My bad.

Thanks Chris. I appreciate it very much. It’s 97 here. God only knows what my chlorine is at. I’m on the road still. And my cell isn’t on.

I have three lights. They are LED light dad don’t have a housing. So if I remove them the light conduit would fill with water and I’m not draining down 15 inches. No ladders. Only 2 skimmers and 2 floor drains with typical lids. And a floor return with same lid as drain lid.

I was talking chlorine at 8. Not slam levels.

So now I’m reading about ammonia and I’m getting all worked up about that. Should I test for it? If so how? Pet store one won’t work I read on here. I have no smell and no cc.

Ok we both tested. This is the amount of powder we r using. I got 26.5. 53 drops. She got 28. 56 drops.

Thanks Chris. Ammonia. I have no idea. I mean I know everything that goes in and out of my pool. So I would say no. Kids have been swimming everyday cause it’s been so hot. My kids and my nephew are potty trained. 15, 9, 6. So let’s say 1 peed in the pool even. That wouldn’t matter I would...

I did my cya again with regular test kit one. Not the blue devil. It is 60-70. Deff deff not 80 so I know my levels were always maintained.

Pics with equipment off. You can see the philips heads. Like always. Deep end pics and 1 sallow end steps pic.

Chris. That’s the thing. I brush every other day for the past year. Before that everyday since pool was plastered. My robot is in every other day for 4 hrs. I literally never have dirt on the bottom of the pool. I test every single day. Even when away my mother is down testing and I stay...

I tested again. I guess I’m confident I’m at 27. So I’ll add up to slam level which is 28. When I went to bed I was 32 which is over my slam level I know but my numbers were all over the place. I brushed. I have robot in. I have pump on high. I’ll add what chlorine I need to add now. It’s...

I’m at 28-29. It’s deff off. Then I want to know how everyone here always says that it has to be exact or you have to cont? This is my first slam and if u read all the other threads people come back with exact numbers. If they aren’t people always say you have to cont. now with mine I’m reading...

Always in my kitchen. I do zero testing outside and tonight when I did the slam level testing again inside. It was dark out already. Yes I use the same sample of water. A 12 oz cup of water. And the tests r timed in the above post and u can see it was in a timely matter. I’m at a loss. So...

i always do heaping spoons. i was getting all those wacky numbers wit them heaping. yes vertical. all the time. elbow resting on the table. rate yes. i don't go fast like leslie's do. and i don't go grammy pace either until right at the end. so again how the heck do i know if i pass...

Then how do I know if I pass the overnight test?

And I use 4 diff beans and 4 tubes that r clean. That doesn’t matter.

I assumed 23 and added 128 oz to take me up to 28 again. It’s almost dark. I’m going to shower and test in a little and call it a night but god only knows what it actually is since I can’t get a straight answer with my test. My powder and drops are only 1 month old. I tried diff powder and...

I’m beyond frustrated. I did a sample 6 times and got 6 different answers. I’m doing it the same exact way every single time. For the past 2 weeks I have had this issue.

That’s my problem I only have 1.5 bottles of liquid drops. I need at least 48 drops per test and that’s if I don’t mess up. Lately I have been doing it 3 times cause I get 3 different numbers. I have no idea why. Never happened to me before.

Thanks a lot j. I’m going to buy more chlorine now. 1. Added other fallen to take to slam level at 70 cya. 2. Thanks for answering questions. 3. Ok real life question. How many times do I retest till bed? It’s hot right now so I know I’m going to burn off. I’ll test as many times...

I’m going to document this here in a new thread so I have eyes on it. Long story short from other thread. 1.0 loss over night test. Suggest slam for 1 day with salt cell still on. I didn’t have enough chlorine so I did half slam today. Level went from 14 to 8.5 from 6 am to 5 pm today...

I never read that here before?

Ok now I’m worried. I brought the pool up to half of slam cause I didn’t have enough chlorine. Brought it up to 14. Slam is 28. This was early this morning. My salt cell was on still. Set at 40 percent cause it’s hot here. Full sun and 90. I measured before I left for work. Fc 14. Came home 10...
