Looks like it's getting better - just a few spots on the top step and a few on the floor -- don't see much on the walls now. I'm going to vacuum and backwash -- I think it might rain later today! Geesh!


I'd love some FEEDBACK from on the following:

My Numbers (Wal-Mart) (AM)

TC 5+? (orange color)

pH 7.3

Total Alk 160

CYA (didn't have any reagent to test)

NUMBERS FOR TODAY - FROM POOL STORE READ OUT

Total Chlorine: 10

Free Chlorine: 8.6

pH: 7.7

Total Alk: 130

CYA: 30

(The print out recommends I add 2.3 pt(s) of Muriatic Acid (because printout says my pH needs adjustment) -- but the pool store person told me I didn't need to add any acid.) We didn't discuss anything else the "test" suggtested. Also told me my pool was swimmable.

My printout printed out the following shopping list for me:

3 - 1 qt bottles scale inhibitor
1 - 1 qt bottle strip kwik
1- 1 qt bottle Kleen It
1 - 1 gal bottle Muriatic Acid
1 - Chem Out

I left with MY PRINTOUT!
