Help..first time water tests

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I have a 24'×54" pool and use 13,500g in pool math.
 
Been to busy to make an update. Did the OCLT test. FC held steady at 9.5. By days end it was down to 6.5. CC is almost non existent. I’ve put the solar cover back on and will resume daily testing. The only thing I’m getting is some small little pockets of stuff in the liner creases in the bottom of the pool and it’s only on one side. Very minimal and it vacuums out very easily. Assuming it’s stuff settling out of the water? It seems to be getting less and less each day. Once again a big thanks to all and a support donation will be on its way!!

That's awesome! Yes we get drifting dust/dirt/ash (at times) due to surrounding rural areas. It's settling like the "gold" from gold rush wash plant riffles ;)
 
Finally light at the end of the tunnel!! Was able to get in pool today and what a wonderful thing it was. 3 years ago when we put our pool in I never thought pool maintenance made sense! After all it hadn’t considering being guided by two different pool stores in different directions After searching on my own and finding TFP, it does make sense. I can’t say I wasn’t skeptical at first but after a couple weeks that has gone away. My wife has given me grief going head over heels into this site and she gave me very little confidence after seeing me drain down the pool not once, but twice only to turn it to a beautiful green. We disagreed on the color. I said it was a pastel thinking it would please her color liking. That didn’t happen. She said it looked like a swamp. To see my original testings compared to now is amazing. Didn’t think I’d ever get there considering my CYA at start was well over 150. Here are my numbers after a day in the pool!
FC-3.2
CC-pretty much non existent
PH-7.4
TA-110 working on getting that down
CH-400
Last but not least...can’t believe I posting this...
CYA-30
In a nutshell what an amazing group of people on here and to say thanks sometimes just doesn’t seem enough!! All of you are awesome and what an amazing site!!
