Hi everyone, I am kinda stumped on this I have been helping my Aunt open her pool for her, she is on this site but has moved into this new house and doesnt have internet. She does have the pool testing kit, not sure which one but it is for really green water. This is all she knows about this...

Ok I had to work 12+ hours today and when I left this morning my FC was 15.5 when I got home which was just a short while ago my FC was 6.5, Is that normal that I should have burned through that much chlorine? My pool is still not clear, I am running my pump 24/7 and brushing. Am I just...

Okay these are my latest test results FC 15.5 CC 0 PH 8.2 TA 220 CH 175 CYA 40 Should I add the Muriatic Acid now to lower the PH or wait till my Chlorine holds and water clears? I still have my pump running also. Thanks, Mindy

The pump has been on since yesterday morning so I will keep running it at what point do I stop running it 24/7? I brushed pool saturday and we had pool party yesterday and I will brush again today I am going to add a little more chlorine to bring it up to shock level, can you swim (actually...

Okay I got my test kit and these are my current #'s as of 15 min ago FC 10.5 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 210 CH 200 CYA 42 We had a pool party yesterday and had 4 small kids plus 10-12 adults in at different times so I put a gallon of 12.5% chlorine in last night after I backwashed the pool because I am...

yep got it ordered :party: As far as the chlorine goes My fiance just bought it from the pool store couple weeks ago, Its a very reputable store it's the only local one for about 30-45 miles.

I have a couple of questions. I went on vacation last week (wed)for about 5 days put 2 gallons of 12.5% chlorine in the pool plus I added 2 chlorine disks in my floater (I had put one in on the previous Sunday to see how long it lasted and it was about 1/2 gone) came home sunday night the pool...

Thanks Paulr :whoot:

Ok I will add the bleach before I leave instead, do you think 2 gallons will be ok? I will also add 3 pucks to the floater. Our cover is brand new in a box in the attic of the garage and I know we wont have time before we have to leave to get it down and figure out how to put it on :hammer...

Hi All, I am going on vacation tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday. I am not sure what I should do for my pool so it doesnt go back to green and really cloudy by the time I get back. Right now it is almost clear, I can see my feet but cant really make out my toes:) I have not been able to...

Thanks Reebok, I new I needed that stabilizer in there to keep the chlorine up but I guess I just needed a second opinion :hammer: . My pool store has actually been pretty good with the advice and not pushing product at me, so I guess I was kinda dumbfounded at her advice. So I tried what she...

We bought a house last September that was a foreclosure the pool was uncovered for who knows how long so it was green, leafie and froggie,. I have been working on getting this pool clear since the beginning of june and it is still cloudy. I have been reading ALOT on this forum and have learned...
