Well, we had no idea we had this problem until the pool began to visibly leak from the exterior, last evening. The pool wall has a hole from rust. I’m thinking there had to be a very small leak that was undetected for quite some time to cause this damage. This part of the wall is under the...

Hello! I’ve been using this method for a number of years and have never had issues but this year I just can’t get my water clear. Had some equipment and pressure issues the first two weeks so I figured that was the problem. I’ve maintained SLAM for 3 weeks and I’ve done a very consistent job...

Our pool is well over 10 years old. We are needing to replace about 8-10 top caps and a few of the bottom ones. I believe they are discontinued. I believe the correct replacement is Atlantic 1490211. I’ll attach a few pics. Can anyone direct me where I could find them or help me find a...

FC-6 CC-.5 TC-6.5 PH-7.2 CH-60 TA-50 CYA-40 I don't recall my TA and CH every being that low. Are things good where they are or should I adjust something now that I'm through slamming? Thanks! (NE OK, above ground pool, sand filter, 25,000 gallons)

We've had a lot of rain here in OK. A lot! I've had to empty water out of our pool on numerous occasions. My stabilizer has dropped because of this. I am wondering if I need to raise my stabilizer and my TA or just my stabilizer? I just added another jug of bleach so my FC would be closer...

The pool is full. The water turned green on me this year, the filter is running and we are preparing to shock. I've been doing the BBB method for several years but always seem to question myself at start up time. Here are my current test results: FC-0 TA-50 CH-120 PH-way high...off the color...

I have been using the BBB method for several years now and thought opening this year would be a piece of cake. Our water was not green when I began. Dirty, yes, but nothing like the first year I sought out this forum. We've had so much rain here in OK that I have had to empty water out of our...

FC-8 TC-0 TC-8 PH-7.8 TA-100 CH-160 CYA-55 Do I need to lower my PH a bit before closing the pool? AGP 25,000 gallons sand filter NE OK

FC-6 CC-0 TC-6 PH-7.8 TA-80 CH-170 CYA-0-10 (25,000 gallon above ground pool with sand filter) We will have our above ground pool open for a few more weeks before closing. However, the last 2 years we had trouble with calcium scaling on the walls (a ring around the pool about where the winter...

This is my 3rd year using the BBB method. My current test results: FC 6.5 CC .5 TC 7 PH 7.2 TA 80 CH 160 CYA 30 I've learned a lot but still learning. My PH was 7.9 yesterday so I added muriatic acid to drop it because of some calcium scaling on the pool walls. My TA tends to be low. Should...

I looked over the guidelines for SLAMing the pool again and didn't see anything on the CC. Last night my FC was 19.5 with .5CC. This morning it is 18.5 with .5CC. Do I keep SLAMing? 33 ft. Above ground Pool 25,000 gallons sand filter

I thought I was off to a great start this year, and I was. My water is almost clear and I thought in another day or two the shock process would be over. I noticed a lot of water loss and discovered a large slit near the edge of the pool (not in a seam). It is about 4 inches long. We got a...

We have ordered a 33ft. 52" high AGP. I live in NE OK. It will be installed this spring as soon as the weather is warm enough. They included Pristine Blue in our package and gave it great reviews. I, however, after doing some research am not feeling very positive about it. They recommend it...
