Kim, I'm still looking for the leak. Thanks for the info about your leak being on the opposite side of where the water was. If I don't find it soon I'll have to get someone to check it out.

I left the leaves in for dramatic effect! I wanted to show the contrasting colors, the brown leaf really shows off the clear water and nice blue vinyl design! :cool:

Happy to report that the pool looks great! CC is .5 and checking OCLT tonight. BEFORE: AFTER:

I used a PoolGuard above ground pool alarm. Worked well with no false alarms, but I would take it out if the weather was really bad to make sure it would not go off. Model #PGRM-AG. Have an autistic daughter and was very worried about her wandering out to the pool. I keep high latches on...

Need suggestions on finding a leak in my above ground vinyl pool.  I visually inspected the entire pool from the deck but don't see anything obvious.  I know I need to get in and inspect up close, but trying to narrow down the area since the water is still pretty cold ?.

My psi was around 10psi and barely moved so I thought maybe it was not filtering properly. I took TFPs advice and added a small amount of DE to my sand filter (according to the instructions on their link) and my psi increased to 22psi, so filter was working. I also learned that I was...

Good morning .. pool water is still a pretty blue (good-bye green!) and visibility is better. I can finally see faint image of my Dolphin Cleaner as it moves along the bottom of the pool. Yeah! Should be getting close to crystal clear water! :cool: I have a vinyl repair kit on hand, so as...

Texas ... unfortunately it is a small leak. The water level dropped overnight and the ground around the pool is wet. The good news is I am able to run a small trickle of water from the hose to keep up with the leak. CYA has dropped to 45, so according to the chart I should keep the FC at...

My pool is now a nice looking blue, but still not able to see the bottom of the pool. How long does it usually take the water to go from blue to clear? Still having a manageable leak problem, but will need to do something soon to find the leak. All suggestions are appreciated. Annette

Good morning ... here are my numbers this morning: FC 27 CC 1 CH 500 TA 100 CYA 55 PH 7.2 I have not added bleach for 2 days. I was waiting for the FC to drop. Another problem that just came up, my pool has a slow leak. I noticed the water level was...

Here are my numbers for today. I haven't added any bleach today because the FC is so high and the CYA has decreased. Am I correct in doing this? It has been raining on and off for the last three days, so my pool has gotten a lot of new water, I assume this is why the CYA has decreased. FC...

Just became a TFP supporter! It's a good feeling knowing that I do not have to depend on the pool store and can come here for help! I already have my test kit, so please pass along the $10 off to someone who can use it. :whoot:

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that.

Well, I received my kit and tested the pool water just now. Just FYI .... we had a heavy downpour this morning, so I am not sure how this skews the test results: FC 25 CC 2 CH 500 TA 100 CYA 70 PH 7.2 I hope I did this right :confused: The pool water is looking soo much...

Okay, so I have been adding bleach for 4 days and my pool looks much better. Instead of only being able to see about 6 inches into the pool I am happy to report I can now see about 20 inches below the pool surface! Kit should be here tomorrow (keeping my fingers crossed) so I will have an...

I did vacuum and I have run my Dolphin Active 10 pool cleaner several times. Still getting a little bit of debris, but since I can't see the bottom of the pool, it's hard to know what is left. Since the filter is running 24/7 most of the debris should gather in the middle.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did watched the video this weekend, but the top was already off the filter. I just need to watch another video about how to actually get the top of the filter.

Just received confirmation that kit has been shipped. Should be here by the end of the week. Is there anything you suggest I do until it arrives? I am brushing pool daily and trying to keep FC level up. The test strips I am using show the following: Hardness 400 FC 10 pH 7.2 Alkalinity...

I have posted a pic of my pool. Hope this helps. Thanks ..

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I have lost faith with my pool store! I ordered the recommended test kit this morning, but it won't be in until next week. Do you have any suggestions of what I can do now while I am waiting for the kit?

I have been treating green pool water for 2 weeks. I can only see about 1 foot into the water. Cannot see the bottom of the pool. I've been to my pool store 4 times in the last 2 weeks and they keep having me add more chemicals. I have followed all of their instructions and the pool has...
