The only thing I've added was acid to bring the PH down since it was 8.4+ when I started. Then I used powdered shock and followed up with bleach to keep the FC levels up. It looks like bubbles. Like you get when with blow bubbles. :D

I am on day 2 of shocking my pool to rid it of Mustard Algae. Prior to that my readings were as follows: FC: 0 CC: 0 PH: 7.4 TA: 90 CH: 140 CYA: 40 I am currently maintaining shock level at 24. I woke up this morning to find bubbles forming where the water spills over from the spa. What...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm going with what I got :)

I took a water sample into Leslie's this morning to have them test it so that I'd have results to compare to since I also picked up a their FAS-DPD test kit and I am a N00b. They gave me readings for FC, TA, CYA and PH. I got similar results for FC and PH. But the TA and CYA were way off...

Well I didn't find anything stuck in the inlet. I'm going to be calling the pool guy today for help as I am not confident enough to do anything else to the system at this point. Thanks for all the help though! :)

There is a little pocket of air right in the dome of the pump strainer lid when I turn the pump off. Is that indicative of a leak? Skimmer is full of water and I lubed the pump strainer lid. My conditions are still the same.

Ok, I did a little banging and got the closure plate flush with all the filters. Still having the same problem. PSI is still hovering at 6 PSI and there are air bubbles in the return line.

I have a Hayward pump but the model # and serial # are no longer readable. There's a label on the other side that says the motor is 2 HP. I've also got air bubbles coming out of the return line now.

I just bought new filter cartridges for my pool and installed them. The old filters had been filthy and the PSI was running at 25 before I opened up the filter to replace the cartridges. After I put everything back together, the PSI is now running at 6 PSI and has been that way for the past...
