0 drop in Chlorine from just before 9 last night to 5 this morning. 5.0 ppm both times. Honestly, I feel like the water looked better yesterday afternoon. I'll see how it looks later today. Appreciate that you took time to consider my issue and try to help. Have a great day!

Thanks, we are really looking forward to it! It's been so cool and rainy though! We really need some warm days. We had one a few weeks back and I dove in. Couldn't help it. Yeah, it was cold, but not bone chilling. :D

Well, if the water is way too high, it's got to come down. As I understand, the skimmers don't work so well when the water is above the coping. And there's only more rain in the forecast. How else would you propose I lower the water level? I can't use the back wash right now because of some...

Okay good, that's more or less what I was going to do. I have the "tanning ledge" so I was gonna use that. I didn't get THE cheapest one, but I got the second cheapest. It was only $5 more and will be much quicker. I decided $5 on $50 was worth that :-) Thanks very much

Hi all, Thanks for the support and advice when we first got the pool plastered and filled. I'm doing the full chemistry weekly and following the results from Pool Math- sort of. Bringing things up slowly to make sure I don't overshoot CYA and TA. But progress is being made. I am confident...

After the dig - maybe mid October? - - - Updated - - - Today - you can even see some of the deck here

Sorry! Yes, two people, one pool. It's big enough for us both, I think. The deck is not even half done, but it is looking good! The whole yard has been a construction zone for about 6 months now. We will all be very happy when this is over. And I will be too proud to not brag with...

Thanks again. The pool is 24,000 gallons. I'll have a chat with Murray to correct that. :) The filter is a Jandy DE - is there more info needed than that? Sorry, this is completely new and foreign to me! Yes, as you described, Kim, put the loose stabilizer in the skimmer basket. I wasn't...

Okay - the stabilizer was granular and put in the skimmer basket (per label instructions) on Friday (2 days ago). I did full tests a little bit ago and entered the info in pool math: Cl-3 pH- 7.5 Chlorine drop: 3ppm FC; 0 CC CH-200 TA-60 CYA - I didn't get a reading, water was cloudy, but could...

Thanks for the storage tips, no kids living here, but expect there will be visitors, so we'll keep the acid secured and separate. Just did all the tests in the test kit. CYA is still not registering. The water was a bit cloudy, but I filled the entire cylinder and could still see the black...

Thanks for all the replies so far, Mrs. Murray here :) Another noob question - we want to get something to store the chemicals in - probably will keep it in the garage which is enclosed, but not climate controlled. Is it okay to put the various chemicals - bleach, muriatic acid, stabilizer, etc...
