A sock? Ummm-no :( . I just threw it all around in the pool, stirred it up , and turned on the pump. I also turned on another pump that I rigged up with a long pool hose that sucks the water from the opposite side and spews it back into the pool from the other end. I haven't seen any stabilizer...

I brushed the sides & floor, then vacuumed to the larger filter. I did not shock last night. I also did not do the tests--I had company. These are my results for today: FC: 9.5 (took 19 drops) CC: 0 TC:9.5 pH: 7.5 T/A:90 CH: 50 CYA:90 temp:90 It looks like everything has come down or stayed the...

Hi poolmom, I truly think I'm going nuts! Like I said earlier,"I'm no rocket scientist"! Of course I didn't calculate my gallons right nor did I put in my goal numbers (cause I couldn't remember what they were :oops: ). On Saturday it took 16 drops of R-871 (chlorine drop test) to get the water...

18' 42" round steel ABG pool. Yesterday morning I added 1 whole container of Stabilizer, ran pump all day along with 2nd larger pump-which I rigged up to get more aeration -(both use cartridge filters), shocked last night(pumps still running). These are the results of tests I did yesterday...

Hi all, My above ground round 18 feet 42", steel pool has been up and filled with water- directly from our well and from daughter's well next door-for almost 2 weeks now. The water was run from both wells thru filters but not thru our water softener.Our well water has a lot of iron. I've been...

Hi all! I'm so glad I found this site. I had re-registered on the pool solutions forum but never got another password so--here I am. Thanks for having me, Ruby
