Received my test kit - help!

[mknauss]

Sure. Let him mix it up!

Did the OCLT. Lost 1.5. Continue to slam?

 

[mknauss]

Yes. Read SLAM Process. OCLT FC loss of 1 ppm or less.

Take care.

 

[Michelle30276]

I passed the OCLT this morning. Thanks for your guidance. I suppose now I will work to get all of my numbers balanced? Funny how I thought the water looked clear days ago. It is extremely clear now.

 

[mknauss]

Sounds good. Run a full set of tests and post them up!

Take care.

Looks good, [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA]

Now just bump your CYA to 70, and turn on the SWG!

 

[Michelle30276]

Thanks for the advice. I am going to work the CYA number up. SWG is on. Water is crystal clear. So glad I found this site. And didn't go off the recommendation of my PB and neighbors to take my water to Leslie's for them to check it.

Great to hear! You saved yourself a big headache and even more $$!!

Good afternoon! I wanted to ask about the pool math recommendations I received after inputting my current test results. The results are:
PH: 7.2
CL: 5
FC: 3.5
CC: 0
TA: 30
CYA: 25
CH: 50

According to pool math, I should add 129 oz. of baking soda, 72 oz of 6% bleach, 715 oz. calcium chloride, and 138 oz. stabilizer. Wondering if I go all in or slowly. Or if any of these look incorrect. Thanks a bunch

What is CL?

Round the CYA up to 30. You don’t need chlorine right now... FC is fine.

Unless you have something that requires you to have higher CH, CH is fine.

PH is good. I will let others who are more knowledgeable than I am about TA to comment on that.

Confused about why Pool Math would be telling you to add bleach... can we see a screenshot of that?

 

[Michelle30276]

CL is chlorine. From the two way test. Guess TC is all I needed to share. Lol. I think I attached the screen shot.

***FC. Not TC. I need a nap.
