We had a new liner installed June 5th. We filled the pool with hose water and ensured that our numbers were where they needed to be. We went away for 3 days for the 4th of July and since we didn't have anyone that could watch the pool while we were gone, We put enough chlorine in the pool to...

When starting with a new pool, in what order do we address the chemicals? Is this correct? 1. CYA First 2. Then FC 3. Then TA 4. Then CH 5. Then pH If the filter is running, how long after I add the liquid conditioner do I test the CYA again?

Ok... So we had yellow mustard algae. The water was cloudy, there was yellow climbing the walls, and spats of yellow "gunk" throughout the floor of the pool. We pulled the stairs out and cleaned and scrubbed them. We slammed the pool for about 11 days (continuously vacuuming and scrubbing) and...

Definitely does. Thank you.

It started with the rain. The color has been off but I noticed the cloudiness yesterday.

I have read the closing guide and have a couple of questions... 1. I need to wait until the water reaches 60 degrees before closing. The water temp is currently 68 degrees. Can I shock the pool now, cover it, keep the pump running for a few hours a day, and make sure the FC stays at the...

Thank you. Last night my levels were... CYA - 50 FC - 6.4 CC - .2 pH - 7.8 this morning they are... CYA - 50 FC - 4.8 CC - .2 pH - 7.6 Water temp - 68 Water is very cloudy... Sounds like we MIGHT have a couple of dry days starting today. Seems like it's time to start shocking even though the...

We are in northern Illinois and have had quite a bit of rain lately (enough to make our skimmer consistently overflow). We are purging the water to the pool's correct level but with the heavy rains for several consecutive days I don't know how to keep up with the chlorine levels. There is so...

THANK YOU for everything!!! FC - 7.4 CC - 0.4

hmmm... Does that sit in one place or move around the pool on its own? - - - Updated - - - Good. I see a difference everyday. The cloudiness is taking its time clearing. Let the FC level drop some so the kids could swim today.

Not yet. Was waiting for a response. I should though, right? conditioner and then chlorine.

Pool is still clearing up. Numbers are: FC - 6.2 CC - .8 pH - 7.4 TA - 70 CH - 170 CYA - 25 going to add 1 quart liquid condition to bring CYA back up to 35. With the CC at .8 do I keep slamming? - - - Updated - - - ....
