I had the same thing happen, and I blame it on me not closing the pool properly, in addition to the temperature rising above 60 for an extended period of time after I did close it. It stained every inch of my liner brown. I used a magic eraser to get most of it, inch by inch, but there is...

Thats insane!

You might also try checking with a different eye doctor. If all of a sudden his eyes are hurting from multiple water sources (bath, public pool, your pool) then maybe its more than sensitivity.

I did this process in my pool last week, and i have to say, maybe its purely in my mind, but my water has never looked better. I have never seen my water this clear, and my wife even said so without me prompting her, which is good proof I am not just psyching myself out. Fantastic!

I appears from your testing that your chlorine is being eaten up by something else. You need to do the CC test to see if those are high. FC wont drop overnight in most cases (well, minimally) unless its being used.

Let me give my opinion on this. I bought the Taylor K-2006, and I wish I had bought the TF100. Dont get me wrong, the Taylor is a great kit and has a decent price on it. The TF100 is a little more expensive, but comes with more reagant, and also more tests. The biggie for me is, you...

I run my pool at an FC of 8-10, and as someone else on this board put it: "The only side effect of backwashing/draining into your yard is taller, greener grass". I backwash right into my yard, and it has done nothing to hurt anything.

As I have learned here, you need to remember that shock is something you do, it is not a product. If you post your numbers, people here can tell you what you need to bring your chlorine level up to so you can shock the pool. As for switching to a non-chlorine product, I can personally vouch...

The way I figure it, the savings from using BBB alone more than justify just going to wal mart and picking up the jugs for 2.28. Im already saving so much, im not going to sweat a few cents either way.

I backwash into my lawn, and its not hurt it at all.

I put 3 pounds of CYA in a sock and stuck it in my skimmer and the sock was empty in 24 hours. I was wondering if the particles went through the sock, but I checked my CYA level and it was where i had expected it to rise to. Maybe some brands dissolve faster than others? (due to smaller...

Im actually trying to bring mine up to 70-75ppm as I type this.

I use about half a gallon a day in an 8000 gallon AG pool. It gets full sun all day.

Thanks for the posts! I dont take noob as demeaning at all :) I am one! Hey duraleigh, I am from Raleigh, used to live off of durant/brassfield. Then i lived in Cary off cary parkway for a couple years. I come up every month or so to visit my in-laws who now live off glenwood in some new...

I did some searching and read the posts that came up, but wanted to ask anyhow. I got my Taylor K-2006 the other day and my CC read 0.6, so I went to shock. My readings last night were: FC 3.6 CC 0.6 PH 7.4 TA 100 CH 120 CYA 45 I put in enough bleach to bring the chlorine to 20ppm, which I...

Im a complete noob, so I would wait for someone to verify what I say here, but I figured for my first post, I would try to be helpful. Your ph is low. Use borax to bring it up. Your FC is way low, especially with a CC of 2. You should bring your FC up to 13-15 and keep doing that twice a day...
