Can't i fill shallow in with water hose & drain at deep end?
No reason to be at wits end. You have made a lot of progress and your pool is not really that 'off'' right now. It just needs a bit of tweaking!hairco said:I just got the Taylor K-2005
This was your first mistake, the kit you want is the K-2006!
and my test numbers is
FC 1.5
TC 3
This means you have 1.5 ppm combined chlorine. You need to shock with bleach to about 15 ppm. Problem with you test kit is that there is no easy way to test chloirne levels that high since it only goes to 10 ppm! This is why we recommend the K-2006 or the TF100. If you would listen to our advice it would really make things easier on yourself.
pH 8.0
Forgot how many gallons your pool is. If you put that info into your sig it would be helpful but you can use the acid demand test in your kit to figure out how much acid you need to lower the pH to about 7.6
TA 190
Get our TA down to around 80 ppm if you are using bleach. Read the Pool School article on lowering TA! do this after shocking and getting rid of the combined chlorine.
CH 250
No problem here...This number is fine no matter what kind of pool you have.
CYA It took filling all the way to the top to not be able to see the black dot.
This means your CYA is too low. You want to be between 30-50 ppm. Once you get it up there your chloirne will hold better and a lot of your problems will end. I guess this means you did the drains and refills, right? I remember that your CYA was through the roof before. It's much easier to raise CYA than to lower it. You can either just add some to the pool or use your trichlor tablets until the CYA gets to about 40 ppm and then switch to bleach.
I am at my witze end.Please help? Thanks
were they round black spots or more like black pinpoints that might be slightly raised? The two of these are different with different causes and treatments.hairco said:I was in my pool today still cleaning & i saw something around the suction outlet & the pressure outlet
that look like black algae.How can i get it off. I tried but wount come off.
Don't know who told you that but it is TOTALLY UNTRUE!!!!!! (Not only am I in the industry but I own a fiberglass pool!)hairco said:I was told that you cannot use M acid in a friberglass pool?
Is that true?
Doesn't sound like black algae to me.hairco said:It is smooth and all around the jets It look like where the jets are attach to the wall there is a white cholking or a seal that is around the jet on the wall .It is not on the jets just that little seal or what ever you call it.
