    Overwhelmed!!!

    I never saw green in the pool at all, but my daughter said when she scraped her hand on the bottom, it came up yellowish. It was just slimey and that was only for one day (if that makes a difference). I added the water capacity to my signature. Thank you!

    Overwhelmed!!!

    Thank you so much! I'm going to add stabilizer as soon as it stops raining. I then plan on adding more chlorine tonight. Please see my new post titled "Test Results" and tell me what you think if it's not too much trouble!

    Overwhelmed!!!

    Test Results In referenced to my previous post "overwhelmed." I got home today and after shocking the pool with one pound of Super Shock last night, the slime is gone. Could the algae really be gone this quickly? I am ordering the good test kit, but i used the Walmart HTH drop kit today...

    Overwhelmed!!!

    The only test kit I have right now is the drop test from Walmart. I am going to purchase the a better one, but I really would like to get it started now. I tried using the drop test I have this weekend and the one test I did, I could make absolutely no sense of the reading. Thanks so much!

    Overwhelmed!!!

    Like a pound every 3 or 4 hours??? Do we just do this until it's clear or do we need to do anything else to clear it up. Should I get some liquid cholrine or bleach instead of the pebble kind??? Also, do I need to get algecide or whatever it is called??? I assume we need to stay out of the pool...

We have the Saltwater System, but have yet to run it because we are so confused! Ok, Friday we put one pound of shock in the pool. Saturday we brought a sample to Leslie's to...

    Krystal Clear SWG Questions

    So, 50-100 ppm? Is that correct? I add the CYA at the same time I add the salt? I add chlorine to get the correct level until the SWG starts producing it? Do I add the whole 175 pounds of salt right away? Sorry for so many questions and thanks so much for your quick response!

    Krystal Clear SWG Questions

    I have tried researching this on the boards. I am so confused though, and the directions that came with the Krystal Clear SWG are confusing me even more. Few questions: The pool will be filled in a couple of hours. We already have the SWG connected, but not running. 1.) Once it is filled, do I...

    Leveling Frustration!!!

    We bought the 18 x 52 Intex Ultra Frame. In the past week we have filled it and drained it twice due to the ground being unlevel. We have spent three days this time trying to get the ground level. We borrowed a tri-pod leveling type device and half way through leveling yesterday it started...

    Advice on buying pool please!

    I saw that one, but it's kind of confusing me because the title says "My Sunshine" instead of Intex which makes it look like that's the brand. But, on the pool itself it has the Intex Label. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the reply!

    Advice on buying pool please!

    Hi, newbie here. Love this website, lots of good info. I plan on purchasing an Intex pool. I have a few questions. Imagine that! I am really looking for the Intex 18 x 52 ultra frame round pool. I guess I waited to late, because none of the stores in my area seem to have that one. I've tried...
