Acually that is what the start and clean filter means on your gauge. Just align the start with your pressure right after you have cleaned it.

Run your pump all the time when you are in a SLAM.. and guess what, you have a VS pump. You can run it 24/7 for a mere pittance.
Do you mean the FAS/DPD test?
I didn’t know that thing moved.Yes!! I maybe should have waited until I got that to pour that much chlorine in?? I did 3 gallons but I do have mustard algae. It won’t come off with wire brush. And on the VS pump I could run it 24/7?? How would I do that or set it? Would I change speeds at different times? Set a new schedule? I have no idea how to set anything on there. Maybe I can find the manual. If not probably can online. Please share more!!

You did not get a Taylor K2006. That is why we recommended you get the TF100. It sounds like you might have purchased a K2005 or a clone.
Adding the FAS-DPD test kit and getting more CYA reagent is needed. Your kit now costs way more than the TF100 would have to start with.

Agreeing with Marty
Can you share a picture of your complete test kit? Thanks! If you got the test kit it in a local store, I don't believe I have seen the proper FAS-DPD chlorine test kit available that way, only via mail order.
It’s ok I needed it quick and I already ordered the extra CYA from TF kits and the FAS one as well. I just needed to have the other stuff and I wanted it yesterday to get the pool going. Hopefully I can borrow from my neighbor the FAS test today. I will order the TF100 when this one is out.
Let me see if my neighbor has the FAS-DPD so I can get that reading.
He does have that test so I will have him help me and I think he uses TFP
That is great!!
Follow the instructions and then post your complete test results

When was the last time it was cleaned? (I am not familiar with cartridge filters and how often they need cleaned)
Do you have liquid chlorine and the other ONLY recommended chemicals on hand? Recommended Pool Chemicals - Trouble Free Pool

When your filter pressure rises by 25% over the clean pressure, it is time to clean the filter media.
Yes it was cleaned a few weeks ago but even used it a lot lately and had the issues with algae and chlorine/cya. I have liquid chlorine on hand as well as muriatic acid I just don’t have the calcium or any soda ash on hand.
If I recall from last night, the only chem you need now and until the pool is clear and clean is chlorine--liquid.
If you can't find that go for CalHypo but nothing else is needed

Yes it looks super pretty this morning. So when do I know when to do anything else to it?
