    Closing AGP late and need advice

    I live in Southern Missouri and the temps have been unusually warm this year. It hasn't gone below 40 I don't think. It's expected to get pretty cold this weekend so I'm going to be closing soon, but had some concerns. 1. The only thing I plan on leaving outside is the sand filter, but I'm...

    Day 3 of SLAM

    I'm in day 3 of my slam. I haven't had any overnight chlorine loss and my CC level is always at .5 or below. But my water is still cloudy and doesn't look like it's changed. Is my sand filter just not good enough? FC: 20 CC: .5 TC: 20.5 pH: 7.5 CYA: 50 Alkalinity: 100

    Can I clear the water up with sand at the bottom of the pool?

    I had an old filter that dropped a bunch of sand into the pool. I got a brand new filter btw lol. Anyway the water is too cloudy to see where all the sand is so I can't get it out. I'm in the process of preparing to SLAM it, waiting on my test kit, but can I get the water clear even with that...

    New home, first time pool owner
