    Default Re: No Chlorine

    Yeah.

    I can make a pretty good guess about what's going on -- but move past guessing, you'll have to collect some info for me.
    1. What was your CYA level, when you opened your pool?
    2. What was the DATE of that test?
    3. What was the DATE of the test above (w/ CYA=100)
    4. What sort of chlorinator have you been using?
    5. What did your pool water look like when you opened?
    6. What does your pool water look like, now?
    7. List ALL the chemicals used since opening, both kinds & quantities.

    If you'll answer those questions AND will complete our new Pool Chart form, I probably can tell what's been going on. The chart takes about 30 seconds, but will save much more than that.

    However, that information probably will NOT change what it's going to take to finish cleaning your pool. Most likely, there are just 2 options. EITHER drain and refill (probably NOT an option with a liner pool!) OR add chlorine till 'it' is gone.

    You can answer the question, "how much more will it take?" with a bucket test, but you'll need a K-2006 or a K-1515 to do that test. (See info link in my signature.)
