I like the idea of a constant feeder. Is there something that I can use in it that doesn't have CYA? If not then I guess I should dc the chlorinator because of the CYA.

Thanks for the tip...water is clear. Here is a complete set of #'s I just did. FC 4 CC 0.5 pH ?? more than 7.2 but less than 7.5 but definitely has some pink in the color so I'm calling it 7.4 T/A 100 CYA 40 Here is what I thought but need opinions: Bring FC back up to 10 check it at...

Thanks duraleigh. FC up to 10. Is it safe to swim for the kids? I only vacuumed to waste once and that was enough. When can I test the CYA?

Almost there.....pool is clear, very hot and sunny weekend....kept FC to shock level until yesterday when we were out of town...this am FC is 1.5 and CC is 0.5...raised pH to what I think is close to 7.5....the question is should I raise the FC back to shock level or shoot for 4? I've got the...

Thanks duraleigh... Well I've got 1 down and 2 to go. I'll repost when the FC is holding overnight and the water is clear. I'll work on the pH. What about the vacuum question? Some of the stuff I see is too fine to scoop. Thanks so much.

Progress I think I am on the right track just need a little more hand holding. Have had the FC 10-12 for the past 36-40 hrs. Yesterday the FC kept dropping during the day down to 5 but we checked every 4 hours and got it back up using the pool calculator. Yesterday 3pm FC 5 added the suggest...

tiffani Just a word of encouragement....keep working at it...I've tried to half way do it or stretch out the time and not keep the FC up as good as I should have and IT WON'T WORK!!! I was slowly on the road to clear until the last 2 days I've really dug in and been diligent with it and it...

Thanks Dave for the advice and shot of patience. I know this isn't an overnite process but I don't want to neglect anything out of ignorance on my part because a lot of sweat and frustration not to mention $$ is in that pool and I am hopefully going in the right direction. You're right those...

Ok. I have some 'pH Increaser' that is 100% sodium carbonate in powder form that is left from pre BBB days. Would this be considered the same as the soda ash when using the poolcalculator or is the concentration different? I've never bought soda ash. Thanks for all your help. I will conquer...

Good advice...now what? Thanks Dave....will use pool calculator and begin the stabilizer process immediately. I read on this site that it takes 1 week for the CYA to increase to an appropriate level. I would think there is other things I need to be doing while this is in process. What about...

Sand changed and pool cleaned 2 weeks ago and super chlorinated by pool company. They used 12.5% liquid chlorine and installed a Haywood autochlorinator and put 4 of Trichlor 3" tablets in it. After 3-4 days the pool was still cloudly. The pool company suggested more chlorine-poured 1 gallon...

Ok end of last season converted from Baquacil to what will be the BBB method when I follow through. All I did last season was to pour bleach and more bleach in the pool. It cleared it up a clear blue for which I was grateful. Didn't close and it stayed pretty much that way all winter. Ran the...

:idea: Converted late this summer to chlorine from the 'B' stuff. Pool is clearer and more blue than it has been all year. We live in the Middle TN area and would like a recommendation on whether it will be safe to leave it open and run the pump on low this winter. We normally pay to have it...
