white flakes?

[mknauss]

Have you lowered your TA yet?

 

[Frank in FL]

yes. finally got it down to 75.

Great.

I assume you cannot capture any of the particles. Not sure what to say. Looks like calcium flakes to me.

I can capture them. I got ahold of a bunch of them last week and put some acid on them fizzed until they dissolved. I think you mentioned in one of your other posts it was calcium flakes and you told me to try the acid test.

Ive never seen it like this before. Only had pool since last June and never noticed any flakes floating around.

So it is calcium. It is coming from the SWCG. Is the only test kit you have the ColorQ?

Yes, for now. Ive been going back and forth the past week on whether to stick with my Color Q or get a TFT or Taylor. I hate to Tick away the $$ I spent on the Color Q, but it seems I have no choice now.
I just came across this setup for $120. Taylor 2006, K1766 and the Speed Stir. It should be here on Monday.

ColorQ is horrible in testing CH. If you have dropped your TA and your pH is in the 7's the water is acting like your CH is much higher.

Hope you got the K2006C. The TF100 is a better value and has guaranteed fresh reagents.

Do you have a heater?

What is the water temperature?

Once my PH climbs to 7.9 I drop it to 7.4. It never get any higher or lower than that.. Soon as this kit comes in Ill post results. This should be interesting

No heater. Water temp fluctuates from 80-84 now

Ok, keep the CSI between -0.3 and 0.0 for best results.

Yep, that kit had smaller bottles and I just cancelled it.. I am officially a TF 100 owner. Order just placed
