Thanks! Will be testing and shocking tonight. An interesting side note, my pool is crystal clear, can see bottom of the opposite side of the pool in detail. Water looks great. Shocking it won't hurt right?Originally Posted by Watermom

Re: Cannot raise CYA
Absolutely not!
(Unless you have metals-contaminated water.)
Re: Cannot raise CYA
Here are my readings prior to shocking:
FAC - 3
TAC - 4
Salt - 2,900
CYA - 80 - This is my target, going to have to watch and see if it continues to rise, so glad I didn't put the remainder in
TA - 120
pH - 7.5
Acid - 2
Pho - 0

Re: Cannot raise CYA
Did you start shocking?
BTW, I don't know how you're testing for "acid" or pho (phosphates) since they're not in the K-2006 kit. Are you getting these numbers from the pool store? You don't need those test anyway.
Is the pool still clear?

Re: Cannot raise CYA
Starting shock this afternoon, got side tracked. Test is from pool store.
Water is crystal clear, beautiful in-fact.

Re: Cannot raise CYA
Use your K2006 instead of having the pool store test it. More accurate and reliable.
Re: Cannot raise CYA
Forgive me, but I'm going to be cruel to be kind for a moment...
Shocking you pool based on pool store testing is kinda like taking medications based on your local voodoo doctor diagnosis. You really can't be sure if you really have anything wrong and / or what the results will be to fix what may or may not need fixing. You have a test kit. Please, use it and report the results before your next post.
Thank you

Re: Cannot raise CYA
LOL, if that's cruel you need to visit some of the other forums I belong to LOL.
OK just tested myself and I'm at FC 4 and .02. I'm confused. BTW, I watched the video again just to confirm I'm doing this properly.
