    Testing CYA with Taylor K-2006

    Do you take an average? When I do that, back to the sun, sample in my shadow at belt level vs. out of my shadow at belt level, I get a variance of 20 ppm....two completely different results.

    Cloudy pool in deep end

    In the mean time, can I shut off the chlorinator, stop using the sticks and dump in some bleach or liquid chlorine and hope for the best??? Or bad idea?

    Cloudy pool in deep end

    Is only brush and filter sufficient? Do I need to add chlorine or algaecide? Should the kids stay out of the pool?

    Cloudy pool in deep end

    It's a new pool and I didn't know any better. I do know the relationship between sticks, pucks ect and CYU. I'll be changing to bleach at the end of this season... We close our pools in September/October around here. I don't have the recommended test kit yet, but I will get one. Very...

    New Pool Build - Just filled it, what next

    My new pool has been running for about 1 week. Chlorine seems a little low, but dialled up the chlorinator a little bit yesterday. All other levels seem ok. The pool guy told me to dump in a bag of non-chlorine shock once the pool filled, so I did. Do I need to be aware of anything else...
