Pool temp hit 92F today and heavy South Florida, UV index 8, rain 3 times a week. Even with borates and zero phosphates this time of year maintaining chlorine is a constant struggle. Had to resort to weekly algacide during peak of summer.

Great video. For months I've been having problems with a high combined available chlorine. The average free chlorine for the past few months has been .5 and the total chlorine has been averaging 6.2. A week ago I poured 5 lb of powder Plus next day the reading was free .37 and total 1.88. then I put 5 lb of zap it every 12 hours two days in a row waited 12 hours the reading was .61 and 4.05. then I put 10 lb of powder Plus and the reading was .27 and .6. yesterday I poured 3 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine waited 6 hours and poured 3 lb of non-chlorine oxidize shock the readings were today .23 and .85. everyday for the past few months the water has been blue and cloudy.

I would look at the filter as possibly a problem as well.

I’ve listened to this: didn’t hear the “solution” others found (“could be this, could be that”). My local Leslie’s told me not to worry about free chlorine but I ended up getting algae last summer so I do think it matters. Guess I should take them a water sample

Try keeping your free chlorine at 7.5% of your CYA level. So if your CYA is at 100 ppm you will need to keep your FC at 7.5 ppm all week long.

this JUST happened to me this last week. My pool guy said that pool water hasn't been changed out in a few years and chlorine no longer holding due to CYA in triple digits.. rather than keep dumping extra chlorine in for now with my young kiddos we plan to drain pool and refill it this month as the CYA level is getting HIGH and we hope to get it back down to low/mid double digits

Ineed your help please. The pool guy advised me to chang my cartridge filter to new sand filter, he put chemicals and run the new sand filter for almost 8 days ( YES 8 DAYS) and water was still cloudy we can not see pool bottom. The pool guy then said there is a problem in the new filter and he replace it. Now the filter is running for more than 48 hours and the pool still cloudy and I can not see the bottom. What is the problem in your opinion? is the pool guy fooling me cause I know nothing about pools??? By the way, He did not vacuum the pool and said he needs to wait till water be clear then he will vacuum it. Please waiting your advise ASAP. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the quick response . I test the pool water in Lesli's store and it shows 0.1 free Chlorine ( Ideal range 1-4 ppm). Total Chlorine 1.39 ( within 0.2 of FAC) , Total Alkalinity 55 ( 80-120), Cyanuric acid 5 ( 30-100) and COPPER 0.5 Ideal range (0- 0.2 ppm) ??? do you think COPPER high level play a role in cloudy water? Any advice please. Thank you 😊

David, I've been using liquid chlorine to maintain the chlorine level in our pool. I was wondering if it's acceptable adding a bag of dichlor shock once every 2 weeks to maintain the CYA? Or is it better to add liquid conditioner in the skimmer in lieu of the dichlor shock every 2 weeks to get the CYA where I need it to be? FYI, I just replastered our pool with white plaster and was going to hold off on the shock for the first 2 months. Thanks!

Adding Dichlor is a great trick and a good way to raise your chlorine as well as your CYA at the same time. I say go for it.

@@greghull3189 Just make sure you're regularly testing so you don't over do it. I've done this before as well to keep from buying a 4 lb box of stabilizer mid season, and adding stabilizer is a bit more aggravating as well, and dichlor is super quick dissolving, and I like using it except for the cya for most situations. You may also find that, since you're not sending your PH up and down so much while your not using liquid, that it could cause the PH to tend downward. It's a pretty PH neutral product, but it could be that your TA is best set up for sodium hypochlorite dosing, so just keep a closer watch on PH until you go back to liquid, but since it is temporary, I wouldn't mess with TA.

Is it normal for a 14k gallon pool to go from 40-50 CYA to 80 in a week? Using 3-4 pucks a week due to heat in Las Vegas. Should i stop using my pucks and just shock with Calcium Hypo? I just did acid wash so did a refill 3 months ago.
@andytwentyman9573

Water in Las Vegas has very high calcium out of the tap, so cal hypo can cause other problems

How do you know it was 40-50 last week? 81 is high for such a short time but if you know its from pucks only then there is very little you can do at this point (leslies carries 3 brands of pucks, do not buy the "poolfresh" brand). Here in Vegas you can go up to 150 cya before drain and extend a summer or two using Poolrx. Our conditions are not ideal and pools have to be ran differently here. As one pointed out our fill water is very high in calcium. Personally I would rather drain every 4-5 years than buy cal-hypo and increase the scaling. Constantly adding liquid is not an option for most.
