cgm -- I couldn't find your username in the list. Check the Pool Chart results and tell me what line your info is listed on, please.

#169 I put in the wrong PF User ID. Sorry this is getting to you so late. Can I edit the information?

[Watermom]

Ok. I thought that line might be you. You can't edit it, unfortunately. We have to do it, but it isn't something we are going to get to for awhile because we are so swamped answering posts right now. This is our super busy time up until the fourth of July and then things calm down a bit.

When we are working to help somebody, we scroll through those results looking for a member's username and find their info. It will be quite confusing to anyone who is trying to help you when they can't find your name in the list so why don't you go ahead and just make a new entry with your correct username. That will make it easier for you to get help.

Let me know when you have done so and I'll make a note to delete the other one.

I created a new entry on the Pool Chart. Sorry about that.

Ok. I'll make a note that the other one needs to be deleted.

Order the Taylor K-2006 kit from my signature below and since it is only available online, get a kit to use in the meantime. Get a cheap OTO (yellow drops) / phenol test kit, or if available at YOUR Walmart (check availability), get the HTH 6-way DROPS test kit, which is compatible with the Taylor K2006. Test the pool as soon and you can, and post the results. If you get the 6-way kit, ALSO test the water you FILL the pool with, especially if it's a well, and post THOSE results as well. (The HTH is the best available kit you're likely to find locally, but it's not the K-2006. It can only provide rough measurements chlorine levels above 5 ppm, and it measures "TOTAL" hardness, rather than "CALCIUM" hardness, which is not ideal.)

I would also suggest that you read a thread in the "Pool Chemistry for Intex-Type Pools." The thread I want you to read is the second stickied thread at the top of that forum.

Come back with further questions and we'll go from there. Hope this helps.

Since there are two different threads going in two different forums, I'm going to lock this one and ask that any responses be posted to her other thread here http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?17524

so we can keep it all in once place.

Thanks
