I was wondering if I can gets some advice on moving an above ground pool. We are moving and I would like to take the pool. I was wondering if it is wise to dismantle it myself, or hire professionals? I know I will need to hire someone to reinstall it. If I move before the winter season, as...

I have been shocking my pool for some time, and it just wont get clear. It is still cloudy, blue but cloudy. For example, when I vacuum the pool from the deck. I can barley see the vacuum on the pool floor. All my levels are testing fine, within normal range. So just wanted to check before...

I had my pool sparkly clear this season, and it was wonderful. Had a VERY hot, humid, rainy season so far. (like rain every other day for 2 weeks) Tested the pool early morning, was gone all day, and the next morning, it was cloudy and now green. I know the process, but every time I test my...

I am sick of dealing with the sand bags to keep my stairs weighted down in the pool. They are messy and a pain. Can anyone recommend a better or easier way of doing this. The cheaper the better! :?:

HAHA-- Joke below. So I need a target for the following. 100 Degree weather for over 5 days, and counting. Have not used any solar cover, nor heater (obviously) My pool is almost 90 degrees. So with a 10,000 + gallon pool, how many bags of ICE do I need to add, to cool it off? Hope you...

We have been in over the 100's for a few days and it looks to be hear for at least the remainder of the week. Pretty much Full sun all day. I am now having to test my FC - 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night) Because of evaporation, MY CYA fell, and I am now adding more. I am only...

Overall this season (opened early mid may) spent 65 dollars on chemicals (aka bleach), and the first week was "shock" week. Very HAPPY have people seeing my family pics on facebook asking questions, and all i say is Troublefreepool.com. Read then ask me questions lol! Was 94 here in southern...

FC tonight was 3 (was 5 this am, been sunny ALLL DAY and was used a lot today, obvi adding bleach per calculator) PH 7.4 CYA 45 No CC But my TA was 170 My pool is CRYSTAL clear, but my husband insisted to check TA, as I don't really do it often. ( I mainly check FC and PH) But my sons eyes...

My local pool store sells Liquid chlorine in a 4 pack of (128 oz bottles) @ 12.5% chlorine. (labeled as pool shock) For 13.99. My Walmart sells 182 oz bottles at 6% 2.98 per gallon. Debating if it is more convenient to go this route then loading up on Walmart bleach? Opinions? Also, I...

I DO!!!!!! :party: I would like to THANK you all for all the advice. Exactly one week ago I started my BBB journey. Only chemicals added were, Bleach, Muriatic Acid, and some CYA! I was vacuuming this morning, and if I did not know any better, I would not know I was standing in water! Only...

Last night I lost no chlorine (20ppm) Pool is clear, can see bottom. Crystal clear no. When I was vacuuming I saw the bottom fine. And when the sun was out, you saw the sun glisten on the bottom. Anyway, I ran my first "FULL" test. TBH I am taking my CYA a little slow so I don't go over...

I read it takes a week after adding (solid) for it to be an accurate test. But, my husband tested the CYA 24 hours after adding and it showed results, of 50. (I am having to do a lot of explaining of this new method to him) This is not an accurate, correct? I was at zero, before I added.

So I opened the pool Friday, and started the BBB system for the first time. Pool was light green. No chlorine, and very HIGH ph. We are in "shock" mode now. Got my PH holding steady at 7.4 Maintaining a 20 ppm for chlorine/bleach. Adding/testing in the morning and at night. Every day less...

If you have a solar cover on your pool, the sun will not eat as much chlorine as if your pool was uncovered? Having this debate, and I know you have the answer! :goodjob:

Got the monster kit today. Excited. But I dont know where to start. I need to shock the pool OBVI. But, what level do I need to maintain for shock. (pool is light green, cant see the bottom) Yes, I read up on here. But, I think I am dumb when it comes to this. Maybe I should just hand it...

Yippie, I have to say I am very excited. Just ordered my Taylor K-2006. Took a trip to walmart and bought 8 2-gallon bottles of Bleach, arm and hammer, and Borax. Now Tick-Tock for the USPS. And hopefully Crystal clear water in my goal 2 weeks! Weather has been very warm. And I am dying...
