Ok. The pool is not clearing up at all. The installer says they will be here Friday, and I hope that to be so. It has been so frustrating. I normally open the pool early in the season and the water is hardly dirty. Remove the usual debris and in a week it is crystal clear. Because of the...

Thank you. I have the bot running already and I plan on keeping it all day, taking it out to clean the filters and back in the water. I will take a reading shortly to see the overnight loss and make sure I am maintaining the SLAM level.

It was a perfect 7.6. I am not reading the PH during the SLAM

Thank you. I have been brushing daily and was considering not brushing tomorrow so I can try to vac some of the algae with my bot. I do not know the clean pressure, but right now is at 15. The filter has a push-pull type of valve. The pump we just replaced the motor and it has a variable...

My bot has a fine filter, and I will start vac tomorrow morning. I do not have a way to vac to waste as I do not have the hose for it. Thank you much

Thank you. Pump is 24/7 and I am brushing it daily. It stirs all the green up and it discourages me even more. Indeed it did not take a day to get to this point, and I am rather upset because the liner installer did not come through. Oh well. Things will get better.

I will monitor it closely. Hopefully things will start to look better soon.

I just took a reading and FC is at 25. CYA at 40. Based on the app, my FC should be at 16

Got it. Even if the SLAM level is kept I should add more chlorine every 2 hours?

Thank you. We did replace some water on Saturday, and I have been maintaining the SLAM level. We are cleaning the filter right now and I think we may need to add more sand to our filter. This has been very difficult and mostly because we were waiting on the liner replacement. We have now pushed...

So, I am loosing faith that I can turn this around. And that is all I hear from my husband. Do you think this can even be fixed? I am taking the FC reading twice a day and maintaining the SLAM level. We started saturday and honestly there has been no change to the water color whatsoever. Thoughts?

Thank you. I will adjust. It has been a cloudy day so the burn is not as bad, but I know the chlorine is being consumed. Taking a read in a bit and add of necessary.

Thank you. The pump is back in order after we replaced the motor and the process started again last night. I am using the Pool Math app and got a reading this morning. CYA is at 42 and FC is at 29. Based on the app, the SLAM level is 17. I will take another reading in the afternoon and make any...

Good thinking, I do have one. Thank you

Thank you. On top of all that, our pump decided to go. We are looking for replacement but also may just be the capacitor. Anyway, to answer your questions, We are not using well water, the kit I use is the TF-100, which is perfect. I will try post a pic later. But, the pump has not been running...

Thank you. The gauge was replaced. I cannot believe how hard this has been. The water is not looking good at all. I was hoping to swim at least by Wednesday, but by the looks of it I find it hard to happen, sadly. I will stick with the liquid and need to add to maintain the shock level and keep...

Thank you all for the replies. The water is still rather green and no signs of improvement. The FC is at 23 at this hour and I need to add a bit more to get to the SLAM level of 24. The gauge on our pump must have frozen over winter and the dial is on the opposite side. Would this interfere at...

Indeed it is a large pool. The pool had no chem essentially but I did add stabilizer yesterday and then chlorine after. Teh reagents are good and I can get chlorine near by. Would love a better price, but that is hard these days. I will take a reading later today and see if I need to add more...

Thank you so much for this explanations and link. So, I will backwash the filter again tonight and take a reading on the chlorine to see how much more, if at all, I need to add. I believe there is a calculator somewhere in here to help me know what level I should keep until the water is clear...

The goal is to have replaced and we had a company lined up but apparently they are not very proficient in taking measurements and have been back 3 times to measure, so we are cancelling it and pushing the replacement until next year. I was able to repair the tear using marine tape. So, now I do...

Hello, after waiting for the liner to be replaced (and still not replaced) we are treating the water. The water became a swamp and now it is taking a while. I use the TTf kit for testing. CYA is at 50 and FC is very high as we did a slam shock last night. It is hard to even notice any change...

My thoughts precisely. I ordered a marine tape, which should arrive today. Now to get the water in swimming shape. Thanks

The liner has a tear on the top part that kept on growing last season. I can add more water and the people came back to take measurements. However, they came back because the manufacturer asked for more measurement,s and just today I was told that they need yet another measurements. I am getting...

The people finally came out to measure, now we wait. The water looks really not good and I just cannot make myself spend a lot of money keeping the water clean just to dispose of it all. What is the recommendation in this case? Keep it clean? Finish filling it up?

That is awful, sorry to hear about your experience. I am hoping to find someone that actually wants my business, but at this point it is looking more and more difficult. Thank you anyway

Greetings, Last year our liner gave out. We closed the pool and have not yet opened it. We know a new liner will be needed and have contact couple companies last year. The one we thought was going to be a go, is not being responsive in returning phone calls/emails, thus making me a bit nervous...

Indeed. Pardon for wording it incorrectly. My husband mentioned about us installing, but have never done it before, I am not sure we are up to the task. The price is killing us, however.

It had a tear on the top portion, which we were able to patch, but the tearing grew a bit and we will need to replace it.
