Is there a hose attached filter out there anywhere to filter alkaline?

I’m currently following it PRECISELY . I had a question on what do to with CYA during SLAM. I had tested at 20-25 then storms added about 4 inches to the pool and I started to read 0 after

Below 20.

Yeah, it was consuming it completely a couple days ago. The wife is going to get a crash course tomorrow, if she wants her party to happen next Sunday, she’ll be an astute student lol For reference: was losing about 2 PPM roughly every 2 hours yesterday evening. Tested before bed and was at 14...

Was reading up on ammonia, you think it’s possible that’s what happened? I feel that I’m on the right track now. Chlorine is not disappearing upon treatment and over night test is getting better.

FC was down to 2 or 3 this morning. I was in a rush and forgot to check CC. Off to purchase more chlorine later.

Put two gallons in and tested 30 minutes later at 15FC and .5CC. We’ll see what the morning brings. Good news is I’m home for 4 nights before heading of to Montana!

Got it at Menards. The code on the bottle is 240411-9.

I vacuumed to waste, skimmed the pool, and put a sock on the skimmer. Filter pressure is fine. Testing with the TF-100 kit. I know it’s a process, as I said, I travel for a living and it’s not the easiest to stay on top of it for a couple days at a time. My main question is there a reason the 3...

To start off, I travel for a living so getting the pool open and clear can be a challenge. My pool is green every opening. So to get into it. Opened with CYA at 20. TA at 120. Put two gallons of 12% in and could see the bottom of the shallow in the next morning! FC was 20 the night before, 18...
