    Default Re: slimy, gelatinous strings of goo ruin a good dip.........

    Readings this morning:

    I have repeatedly done the CYA test with the same results! The dot becomes invisible when only about 3/4" solution is added. The line on the back of the CYA test tube says 1.8

    Ph 7.2
    Free chlorine 3
    Combined chlorine .5

    I have read the posts on the staining and am gathering the incredients.
    ---Kem-Tek 338-6 Metal & Calcium Eliminator Pool and Spa Chemicals, 1 Quart
    ---Kem-Tek 311-6 Pool and Spa 60-Percent Concentrated Algaecide, 1 Quart
    ---Now Foods, Ascorbic Acid Powder, 2#

    Is this sufficient to deal with the problem? I am just not sure of amounts to buy. Thanks.
