Hi, I posted here over a month ago about my swampy pool. After a lot of hard work and patience, the water is finally clear. Testing using the Taylor kit today revealed the following: FC: 3 CC: 0 TA: 75 pH: 7.6 My CYA level from testing a couple of days ago was around 45. I plugged in these...

Ok thank you. Will get started hopefully this week and come back with an update.

Hi, actually I do have a new test kit, don't remember which one but it was one of the ones recommended on this site. SO basically I should hook up the filter and pump, then update this post with pH level then start SLAM?

Hi. Basically I have an AG pool, 15'x26' which got a liner replacement at the end of last season. It was filled with water, and I tried to educated myself about pool chemicals and all, but to make a long story short, nothing went in it except for a little chlorine, and it went through the...

I put in a gallon of bleach. How do I know if that is appropriate for the water volume? I want to go ahead and run the filter because I anticipate it's going to be a couple of weeks before we can close the pool, and I already have a bunch of bugs floating on the surface. Old inherited AG...

Yes I'll invest in a thermometer. Water volume about 3500 gallons. I haven't added any chlorine at all.

Have no idea what the water temp is but temps here have been running from upper 60s to mid-70s during the day and upper 50s to low 60s at night.

Thank you for your helpful response. I've done a lot of reading but pardon me I'm still confused because I've never had a working pool before. Since it's an AG pool with vinyl liner, based on what I've read I've come to the conclusion that I should perhaps dump a container of liquid bleach...

I inherited an AG pool, oval 26x15' when I moved into my house 3 years ago. The pool had called into disrepair and I essentially had a swamp in there, filled with algae, bugs, and frogs. Well the pool has now been completely overhauled. New liner was placed this week, and I have now filled...
