Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't know DE could be added to a sand filter, I may try that! Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Ok will do! Here are a couple of pics the way the water looks now. Not sure why my steps are so yellow, but hoping to correct that after water is clear. - - - Updated - - - No SWG :( My CYA is so high because the pool company was using pucks and shock and the pool just kept getting...

I do have test results! Started with: FC - 1 CC - .5 pH - 8.2 CYA - 80 Dumped in 120 oz. MA and 480 oz. of 6% Bleach Next results: FC - 23 CC - 1 pH - 7.6 CYA - 80 Dumped 120oz. MA and gradually 240 oz. Bleach Latest results: FC - 23 CC - 0.5 pH - 7.3 CYA - 80 - - - Updated - - - My...

So I have posted on here before, but it was a couple of years ago. With all of the help I received here I have been able to manage and maintain a crystal clear pool until the last couple of weeks. This summer I have strayed from what I learned here and due to "too much on my plate" I have been...

Thanks for your quick response! I know this sounds really stupid, but what exactly do I put in the sock? I never NEEDED CYA before, always needed LESS of it...so this is all new. Also, any suggestions on lowering the TA? Is this when I add Boric Acid? I promise I have read the Pool School...

So, I found this site last summer, my first summer with a pool. You all were a LOT of help then and so I am back with more questions. My season last year ended horribly, with some personal issues that were unavoidable, and I had to enlist a local pool company to close my pool. In the process...

Ok great! Thank you!

I finally got my test kit in today so I wanted to share. The pool is definately closer to blue than green and I can see the bottom on the shallow end!! Here are my results: FC - 12.5 CC - 0.5 pH - 7.8 TA - 170 CYA - 45 This is the lowest that our CYA has been. I am guessing it may be because...

Another question: I have never vacuumed my pool. We had a pool service up until two weeks ago and never had to do it myself. I have been brushing the entire pool each day as I am working through this shock process. We have a creepy crawly that works great. Should I be manually vacuuming or using...

WOW!! That is gorgeous!!

Thanks linen! That is very helpful!

Just wanted to update: My water is definately changing! It looks like a white-ish blue/green this morning, rather than the grass green color it was before. I am so happy to see it moving in the right direction!! Trying to keep the chlorine at a high level, somewhere around 22-24 and it seems to...
