chlorine levels

Hi All! So I have a little 10ft Intex quickset pool. The first dose of chlorine I added to it when opening it was 4 1"pucks in a floater. I check the pool with 3 different test kits and after a week the chlorine was showing as non existent. There was still some pieces of the pucks in the floater...

Hello, First season with a pool that came with the house we just bought. I think I’m getting close to getting things right but wanted some recommendations with chlorine and CYA. I bought a taylor K1004 test kit before coming here and didn’t realize it didn’t test CYA. Bought strips for CYA and...

Hi - this is my second season with a pool but the first year we’ve opened it from winterization. It’s been open for one week. Water temp is running between 65-70 degrees F. After 48 hours of the pump running (Thursday) I tested it at the pool store. Chlorine was at 1. Cya at 39. Salt was 2900...

This has now been a month long scavenger hunt to multiple pool stores and I'm still not 100% sure what the issue is. We have a 6 month old salt plaster pool (details in signature) and everything was great for a few months. We could keep the SWG down to around 18% and the chlorine levels stayed...

My main question is why I can't maintain my chlorine level higher than 1.5 to 2.5 on average. I run my T15 chlorine generator 14 hours/day at 80% (6am to 8pm every day) which I feel is longer than I should have to run it. Salt between 3100 and 3400ppm. When I check my chlorine levels I get...

Hey everyone. I just installed a CircuPool RJ45 plus SWG this season and its working great. pool has never been cleaner. However, I have noticed our swimsuits are all fading/bleaching out now and my thought is the chlorine is the culprit. CYA is at 70 and FC is around 5ppm which I believe...

Using two separate testing methods including a Taylor K2006C, my FC has been around 8 ppm for over a week, in a salt water pool, despite turning off the chlorinator. According to Dr. Google: "Sunlight depletes chlorine level, although not as fast as chemical methods. On a cloudless sunny day...

I am having trouble getting my chlorine numbers up. This is my fourth year with the pool and first time having this issue. I have use this website for most of my pool knowledge and could really use some help understanding this. Here are my current readings: FC 1.77, TC 2.03, PH 7.2, TA 111...
