Re: Chlorine level is low
Thank you for responding..I added 1 gallon of 6% bleach last night and just tested everything again. pH 8.0- FC 11- CC .5- TA 90- CYA 30- CH 170 so I think I will add enough bleach to get FC to 15. Note that my pH and TA went up and CYA went down. I dont know why.It did rain yesterday and enough to overflow and its still cloudy and supposed to rain today.

Re: Chlorine level is low
Don't waste your test reagents re-testing CYA unless you have added some. Also, a test result of 30 and one of 35 is basically the same. That test is not too precise so it is not uncommon to get a varied range of results. Did you test your pH when the chlorine was high? If so, you can get falsely high pH readings. Do you have a Taylor K-2006? (Again, I don't want to take the time to re-read this thread.) If you do, please put that in your signature below. It helps us to help people when we know what kind of kit they are using.

Yes I am using k2006 and I added it to my signature. FC was 11 and CC was .5
Also so my pump has been running 24/7.

Re: Chlorine level is low
I just added 1/2 gallon of bleach to bring FC up to 15. I will check it again tonight when I get home from work to make sure its still 12-15 FC and if its not I'll add more bleach and test again in the AM.

Re: Chlorine level is low
For some reason I cant figure out how to start a new thread so I hope someone see's this and can answerI added liquid stabilizer to my pool this morning and was wondering how long I should wait to retest the CYA. I know they say to wait a week with the other but I cant find anything on the liquid.

Re: Chlorine level is low
With liquid stabilizer, you only need to wait a few hours of pump circulation.
