I will go out tomorrow and buy a better kit. Just ask for a tester that does CYA also.
Shocking pool question
- Thread starter Marty D
- Start date
There are really only 2 kits that come complete enough to really empower you: The Taylor K2006 and the TF100.
The SpeedStir is also a great complement to either kit. Not all of us use one, but no-one who has one would give it up!

I been reading some of these post. Your the 3 rd guy that said to use reg. Bleach. If I'm using 3 inch tabs can I add bleach into my pool? There is a $1.00 store that sells one gallon for a $1.00. I always use shock. Thanks.Hello Daryl!I agree.^^ Increase both the FC and CYA. The CYA is best when confirmed at least at 30ppm. In your area with a cover, you probably won't need much more. But the FC needs to be increased right away with some regular bleach (the plain stuff). The recommended FC range for a pool with a CYA of 30 is 4-6 and never below 2. So once you start adding a little more stabilizer, I'd increase the FC to a good 5 for a day or so and watch it. Make sure over the next few days your FC doesn't drop like crazy. If it does, and you suspect something might be wrong, you can always do an overnight (OCLT) test to rule-out algae. Nice to have you with us.

No I would not get it at the $1 store ... 1. It may be old (check the date code if it exists) and 2. It may be weak (check the strength, if it exists).
Yes you can add bleach to your pool.

Almost no places carry the type of kit we recommend Marty. You really need one with FAS/DPD and Cya. The TF100 is the best bang for the buck, and it uses top shelf Taylor reagents.
I try to add more new pictures on this forum but can't. If you pm me your cell, I can send you some pictures. Thanks Marty. I did it!!!!! I had to get rid of some old pictures to download this new one.I'm gonna ask what no one has yet. Can we see some BIGGER pics of your monster pool? Your avatar is just too much of a tease...

Pool is 30x60 with 2 French ends and a sitting spa. 4 ft deep with a 10 ft deep end. We found the pool installer and they said 120,000 gallons but my pool service said 80,000 plus.

This house was a bank sale. Guy custom built a 3600 sf house then had the pool built all in 06. He walk away from the mortgage one year later in 07 in December. He took everything even the front door. When the oil ran out the heat stoped. Broke a few water pipes. The pool sat for 7 years!!! When I bought it in 2015 there was no cover on pool, never winterize. Dead 12 point deer �� was dead in pool with trees growing out. 3 ft of leaves on bottom. The liner was ok after the clean up. The pool has cement walls but with a liner.
