Interesting... but how do I gauge the amount of water I am removing from/ adding to my pool using this method? By timing it? I could calculate the fill rate with a bucket I guess. ??*?? 30k gal in ground vinyl pool, Taylor K-2006 kit

Ok retesting using #8.... I got 45 so the actual value would be around 90.... so I guess in need to lose some water and refill?

I retested and it could be closer to 90. The crazy thing is that the pool gained about 2 inches of water (30k gal pool). I know my CYA level was accurate before because I successfully completed my SLAM at CYA of 70.

My CYA was 70 this week during a SLAM I was doing. Chlorine source was 6% chlorine bleach... that is it! It rained very hard after I finished the SLAM. I gained a lot of water in the pool that day. The next day I went back to vacuum and check levels.... CYA went from 70-100! After a rain...

Alrighty then.... I was able to get 6 gallons in.. that’s all I have. It’s 11:30 pm here so I’ll get more ASAP in the morning and add. The algae wasn’t that bad so maybe this will do the trick? I know, I know follow the SLAM rules. Anyway, going to check first thing in the morning.

How should I add? To the skimmer?

I have a 33k in ground. There is algae. Here are my numbers FC 6.6 pH 7.3 Cya 80 Alkalinity 40 When I did the calculations, it’s saying to add 975 oz of 10% liquid chlorine... I’m scared to add that much to the pool at one time! How do I make sure it doesn’t bleach the liner???? Help!!!!

Im not experienced enough to be playing around with impellers so I guess I'll just go for the bigger filter

Sorry about that. I forgot to update signature. I also realized I posted this in the wrong thread. I have a 1.5 hp pump. I have read that is a bit much for a pool my size but it's what we have.

I am looking to replace my sand filter. Not sure what size to get. I have a 10,000 gal AG and a 1.5 hp pump. My last filter was a hand me down so I know nothing about buying a filter. Any input is greatly appreciated! :o

Vitamin c tablets worked! Guess I'll be doing an AA TREATMENT soon. I may wait a little bit just so the kids can get some swimming in... Pool has been out of commission for 2 weeks!

Ok so I will take water to pool store and have them retest... They carry proteam metal magic if I need it. Now when I held glass container of water against a white paper it looked clear with no coloring. If it was yellow it was very slight. I was going to hold a trichlor puck against the...

Ok so pool is continuing to lighten up ... It's less green everyday. I looked at water through clear container and compared to a white background. It looks clear with maybe a slight tinge of green or yellow but my eyes might be playing tricks on me. All I have been doing for the last few days...

Pool is clear green.

Ok so here are my results FC 20 CC 0 TA 160 pH < 7.0 ( was hard to tell) hardness 170 CYA 40 Pool water is still tinged slightly green but water is clear... Could this be metal? I really don't know where it could have come from.
