Ok so I will add cya . Over the next few weeks with holidays we will be gone for extended periods of time so I will use some pucks I have and build to 20 . I keep seeing these bubbles and they just don't look normal ! I'm wondering what steps I can take on the preventive side . I will use non...

Ok I did edit my profile and added my info . I'll try that again . Guess maybe I'm just worried about nothing . They just look odd to me .

The thing is the bubbles just last a little longer than normal . They look like soap bubbles. It's a trail behind the swimmer

I have heard the cya debate on both sides of the fence . I just choose not to add it . I mean no offense ! My issue is the bubbles I don't see how the cya can affect that ? Maybe I'm wrong that's what I'm trying to figure out .

Thank you couldn't find the old post . No CYA because its indoors Fc 2.6 Cc .2 All other numbers same as last test It's just these little bubbles I'm dealing with Room gets no sun to speak of ( I have been opening the doors and windows daily for the past few days to let some sun in and more...

Still have bubbles So a little update . Water is crystal clear current test FC 4 CC .2 Ph 7.4 Alk 80 Chl 200 Cya 0 I had almost 50 people in my pool this past weekend ( kids playgroups ) Water stayed clear the whole time all ( a little dull underwater ) Ran my borrowed sta rite filter over...

Yes that is the filter . My friend is in the pool industry and he uses these to clear pools at the start of season . He just had it in his truck dropped it off all setup with its own pump . The water has never looked so polished !

I did try adding DE didn't seem to help at all . I'm just amazed that the cartridge filter worked so fast . I'm not convinced there was something in the sand as much as I just needed a little more to get me over the hump on this . It was a sta- rite filter I beleive 400 sq feet

Would look that way . I'm sold on cartridge filters

Just an update borrowed a cartridge filter from a friend and in 12 hrs the pool is 100% I think the sand would have gotten me there just not this fast . I'm so impressed I'm looking into buying one . Thank you all for you help . The pool now looks better than it ever did !

Makes sense as the scum bugs are now picking up something? The sponges feel kinda slimy and full of what feels and looks like soap . Other than the cloudiness that goes away as fast as you can make it ( 10 minutes ) everything else is good . I still get suds but again they don't hang around long...

Thanks for all the info . It's making my head spin . What I gather from what you are saying is let the pool do its thing and maintain my levels and it will work itself out ?

Party has been and gone . My only issue now is according to a freaind in the pool industry is I have to much oxygen in my water that is making the pool look cloudy whn you stir it up . Claims it an emzym product I used and only time will solve it . Does this make sense ?

24 hours later huge difference problem is gone ! I did find a small air leak that I think was adding to my problem .

I hope you are correct ! Also it always runs 24/7
