Cloudy Please help

Was your CYA test solution cloudy at all? Let us know.

If it was, just add 3#. And no, don't add more chlorine until you drop down to 3ish until you get the CYA in there.

Also, don't waste any more money on algaecide. You only need it when you close your pool for the winter.

The cya test was not cloudy at all, thank you!

[FormerBromineUser]

Okay. Then that means your CYA is close to zero. Add the 4#. How is your FC now?

[mrszaff]

I will do another reading now...

[FormerBromineUser]

Just FC/CC

[mrszaff]

Fc 5.6

[mrszaff]

Cc 1.0

FC 5.6, cc 1.0 , is the cya that I'm adding powder or liquid?

K. another question. Are you using a 25ml pool sample? It looks like you are. From now on, use a 10ml sample for FC/CYA. The directions are on the inside lid of your kit. Just count the drops and divide by 2 when using the 10ml.

Arg. Don't like that CC value. BUT don't add more chlorine until you get that CYA into the pool.

Instead of going to Leslie's, you can buy CYA (cyanuric acid) much cheaper at Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Look for as close to 100% cyanuric acid as you can find.
