I just joined the site yesterday. I've been going with our pool store's advice, which obviously hasn't helped or I wouldn't be here.

It may have been after I added the alka up.... I have been trying to figure out what is missing... it is no longer green, but still cloudy. Also, is it safe for the kids to swim with the current levels?

Test numbers are FC - 2 CC - 0 pH - 7.5 TA - 120 CYA - 0

The CYA in my pool was 0, then went up to normal after adding pH up and now is back to 0. What do I use to make it stay where it is supposed to? Do I need to go buy stablizer?

We've been shocking for a month.

I've decided to try the BBB method. Got all the stuff yesterday. Shocked it, shocked it, shocked it and added calcium last night and looks better. Came online to see what my first BBB step will be. The pool store's results were similar to mine.

Taking a sample to the pool place today. then I will know for sure where our water stands.

Re: Turning Your Green Swamp Back into a Sparkling Oasis When tested, I got this: FC - 0 CC - 0 (We aren't using chlorine) pH - 7.2 TA - 80 CH - not tested CYA - 0

Re: Turning Your Green Swamp Back into a Sparkling Oasis What makes the EZ Pool so horrible?? It was highly recommended by our pool place... Definitely switching to BBB tho. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Turning Your Green Swamp Back into a Sparkling Oasis chlorine makes me sick, which is why we chose an alternative. Our local pool supply place told us about EZ Pool. They use it and have no problems. We haven't had any issues with it until this year.

This says we should use chlorine to fight the algae, but we don't use chlorine in our pool; we use EZ Pool and we aren't going to switch. This is our 3rd summer with our pool and have NEVER had the pool this difficult to get clear. We've had it open for over a month and it has been disgusting...
