Well it looks like our pool is starting to clear up and its blue YEAH And the problem was............ I had the filter hooked up backwards :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Okay go ahead I can take it :hammer:

The Grandkids will be happy The last sequesterant I added was the two quarts Sunday night for a total of 51/2 quarts. Do you think more would help? I need to give them a call and see if their test kit came in. There is some orange staining on the skimmer so I know I have iron, I guess the...

Results from the overnight test. It did rain a small amount I dont know if this might skew the results. 9:45pm FC 5.5 CC .5 8:00am FC 4.5 CC.5 ph 7.5 TA 100 TH 320 CYA 25 (I havent retested this for several days, I only have enough for one test and wanted to wait till I added more...

Received my fas-dpd today (fast shipping thanks duraleigh) Did a quick test FC 2 CC 0 I want to do a overnight test, will FC 2 be a good level or should it be a little higher? Its been 72 hours since I used the two quarts of metal control. Pool changed color very little if any

My hair is turning greyer :-D I went ahead and added 1 quart of pro team metal magic and 1/2 quart of regal metal out on friday. Maybe a little clearer hard to tell. Read somewhere the FC should be 0 before using the metal out treatment. Waited until Sunday night FC 0. added 2 quarts of...

Thanks for the responses. You may be right, Im trying to have patience but you would think after four days of clorine I would see some change. I have some metal out, would it hurt to go ahead and put more in. One store told me it doesnt matter what the clorine level is before putting it in the...

Thanks for the welcome butterfly. This site is great and I have learned a lot reading pool school. My pool still has the green. Im taking a sample to a different pool store this morning, hopefully this store can test for iron. If this test yields a CC of .5 or less that would mean shocking was...

Yes I am filling from a well and we do get iron stains in the house. I didnt post a picture

Jason the color is a light green, not really transparent I can use the white brush as a reference and it dissapears from view at about three feet. At what clorine level will my ph test be accurate? I quess I will order a better test than the 5-way I got at wal-mart. In the mean time what do you...

wife has went to get borax in case i need to do that. Wed evening I had a zero TC I put 280oz bleach and the next morning 180 oz of bleach. Would that be a high enough level of clorine to throw my ph off that much? My test is still showing 7.2 ph

I have my return breaking the surface for some aeration. I mentioned the aeration to the guy at the pool store and he said "I've been to a lot of chemical classes and never heard of that" So I think my best bet is this site. I am mixing half pool water and tap water when testing for clorine so...
