Wonderful! Thanks so much!!!

Hey all! Just opened the pool, water looks great and is crystal clear...for now. We opened it Sunday, kids swam, just tested water this am: FC: 1 CC: 0 PH: 7.5 CYA: >20 Water Temp: 63 My question is...do I shock first or add CYA first? As, I will have to brush and backwash a lot as I am...

Well, I read around on alot of posts on TFP and we fixed it that afternoon BEFORE I saw these posts, lol. SO...we used a hairdryer :/. Would NEVER recommend it bc of the danger, we did make sure the outlet and dryer had a safety and ground on them and got everyone away from the pool, knowing we...

Opened pool today, water looks great, however, in several areas the liner has come loose. How can we fix this? We've tried strength and it doesn't work, lol! Any suggestions appreciated!

I was shocking to 20 ppm, on the higher level for my pool, but knew it was hot and had no CYA. And, oh man! I thought I could let them swim an hour after adding bleach, :(, they weren't in it much, but I know it wasnt helping from the test readings:( I really have to get in to brush or vac...

Started shocking immediatley, gonna be a long night :sleep: Added 70-75oz of stabilzer, the granule looking one, by sock - calculator sad 88oz, so to make sure I didn't do too much I underdid it a little. 88oz, said it would give me 40 CYA, so, I thought I could get at least 30 Started...

Yes :rant: I did :rant: , I passed...for one night :rant: :rant: :rant: So, do I need to shock AGAIN :grrrr: ? My husband may divorce me if I keep spending this much money on bleach. My daughters 4th Bday Party is Sun and I really need this pool looking good!!! So, if I have to...I have to...

Please help :hammer: First of all results are: FC 1.5 CC barely .5 TC 2.0 TA 110 CH 80 PH 7.8 CYA under 20, water does get cloudy, but I can still see a greyish dot! - I was clueless when first got pool and did my TF-100 first test and had not added CYA, so I kept saying, the d$@n dot is...

K, makes sense now:) thanks!

Or, ok, I just put it down into the hole at the skimmer?

K, so, I disconnect my skimmer hose and hook the vac in there? I'm sorry to sound so ignorant, but this is so new and confusing to me???

Frog, this cracks me up, because, if I don't have swimmers, my water gets bad? Idk why, but I think they stir lots of the junk into my skimmer??? We just filled like over a week ago, so, that may be why, but, even with our intex pools, when we didn't swim, the water was bad! I have only had to...
