rokesegr Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 I'm new to pool ownership. We have a 5600 gal. intex pop up pool. I've been adding chlorine every night and running the filter for 6 hours, but every a.m. test strips are awful. This a.m. my readings are chlorine 0 ph 6.4 alk 120 hard 400 cya 0 Please someone help! I know what the numbers should be, but I honestly don't know how much of which chemicals to add. I've read so much, probably too much that I am confused. I know my CYA has to come up in order for the chlorine to go up, but what do I do. HELP. Also I live in southern Pa and temps will be 90+ this week. Thanks so much. Quote
Flapjack0023 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Get your PH up first, add stabilizer, then you should be able to keep chlorine in it. I'm pretty new to pools too, so use at your own risk. Quote
waterbear Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 the pool calculator can help you with how much to add Quote
Pool Clown Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Step 1. Get rid of the test strips, and get a drop type tester. Quote
