    Sparkling pool. But...

    I used a dive mask to do the repair and it was extremely clear. But without it. It's cloudy. I just did a search on the net. Now I understand why I can't. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Sparkling pool. But...

    I had to get in my 68 degree pool today to do a vinyl repair. I was not able to see clearly under the water. I thought since the pool is sparkling and I'm following this sites advice that I would have crystal clear water with my eyes open too. Is this normal. Or should I be able to see...

    Sparkles. Is it time for OFCL test?

    Man. I'm at a loss. 10 Minutes ago I get 23ppm. Now it reads 21 Question. Can I or should I use the speedstir for the FC test? I used it and it's all over the place. 23 then 21. I did it manually and I get 22ppm. Then tested again and got 24. Wth Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Sparkles. Is it time for OFCL test?

    Hello. I've been following the defined guide to the T. I re read pool school everyday. But I'm sure I'm making mistakes. From 8 am till 5pm I've lost 9ppm . I was curious bc if the pools clear and zero cc, I was asking to determine if losing this much is typical. Because if it is. It...

    Sparkles. Is it time for OFCL test?

    At 8pm. FC ppm was at 10. Added 122 Oz of 8.25 bleach(1 jug) and Tested after 30 miutes and it read 23 ppm. I believe I saw in pool math that one jug would raise it about 6ppm. This was a big jump. I'm assuming this won't skew my OFCL test either way.? Maybe this Walmart bleach is stronger...

    Sparkles. Is it time for OFCL test?

    I'm asking because I'm still burning thru 10 to 14 ppm in Chlorine everyday. So that tells me I'm losing more than 1 over night. At 7am today I added and checked 30 min later. Was around 19ppm. Now at 5pm I'm at 12 It was mostly sunny. 80 degrees What gives? FC currently at 12 ppm. Slam...

    Why is their foam

    Yall have helped me kick start my Slam in a previous post. Now I'm having an issue. I have two filters. I previously soaked them in muratic acid and then gave them a good rinse. I cannot remember if the 1st filter foamed bc I started a Slam. But here is a pic of a few hours after I Swapped...

    The liner is blue and white. It's fairly faded. The pics aren't doing justice. It's 10x clearer Than it was Saturday. I will give it a few days. Then consider a partial drain and go from there. This is after the SLAM is complete and passed an overnight test and a cc test. As far as the...
