First one is deep end. Can just see floor drain...second is shallow...then 3rd another of deep end...Ive been testing every 2 hours and just now did the FC drop from 10 to 8...and it's sunny and almost 90 here. CC is still .5. I have a tone of scale left from last year that looks like a white...

thank you for the info!! My fill water is well water and yes it is very hard. I had to replace 12 inches this year as my well dried up end of last season so i just used the bottom drain to circulate and then closed for the season. I may call on Skippy as he is so close :) We are having some...

Good Morning everyone. My slam seems complete. passed overnight test. water clear as a bell. Now i have questions on the scale. There is still scale embedded with dirt covering the pool liner and what isnt brown colored is white/gray. I have read with brushing and lower Ph that eventually...

Thank you. From the hours of reading I am doing on this site I think it's scale that has algae/dirt embedded in it. Its a mess. Any other remedy. I read the ph needs to lower to slowly remove it. During slam the ph reading is inaccurate. So should I wait to pass the slam then lower the ph...

So here it is day 2 of SLAM. Pool still cloudy. Ran the brush over entire pool last night. Get lots of white cloud like poof when i brush. Dark color poof over the dark areas of the pool. Raised the FC to 16 before bed. Woke up and swept entire pool. Not sure why but it says to do so in the...

Thanks so much. Should i run the brush over everything now or wait until morning, then brush and let settle then sweep? How long will it take for the CYA to register in the test? I will go back to bleach but want to make sure i dont over dichlor as you said :)
