    Hi Folks! I'm hoping to find some pool buddies ...

    Why, yes, I did. Took a little while, but I did get it crystal clear. I can't wait until next season! Thank you for checking in! Happy Holidays, my friend! :cheers:

    Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl Importantly, don't forget about adjusting pH and the T/A to acceptable levels. I would not use the trichlor tablets unless you need to add additional stabilizer. Start with 9 gallons (128oz jugs) of 6% sodium hypochlorite...

    Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl Looks like you have a nice pool. Your stats are: TC - 1.7 FC - 0 pH - 7 Total Alk. - 137 Calcium - 133 CYA - 50 CYA @ 50 is acceptable. Chlorine If your TC is 1.7, your FC cannot = 0. (TC = FC + CC) I will guess your FC = 1.5...

    The latest readings I have are: FC=24 CC=0.5 pH=7.8 T/A=120 CYA=55-60 Water is clearing up slowly. I have brushed everything until my arms are falling off! Pool is blue, but I still can't see bottom drain. Shallow end is clear. Tested my T-15 cell at the pool store, and it is good. This...

    Praise the Pool Gods. CC=0, Passed the OCLT, and the pool is clearing slowly with filtration. I agree on the flocking points, but sometimes it's a sure cure. We started with a swamp about 2-1/2 - 3 weeks ago and bought some tools (a test kit) 5-6 days ago. Understanding the chemical...

    If the FC level holds til tomorrow evening, I will drop it then. It should kill everything left in the pool, I'd hope. I am planning a major back wash to get the DE out of my Zeolite, and I will refill with fresh water back to normal level. If the water is still cloudy tomorrow with no OCL &...

    Ok. Getting aggressive. Raised FC to 37.5 with CYA at 60. I will test early in the morning for results of OCLT. CC is 0. Mustard shock is 34. Running DE for a second night without much pressure increase. Feedback always welcome. All other readings are in range ! Love TFP !
