You Win again! Thanks for the reply.....Thank I will save that 50 bucks and go buy some beer! Oh by the way when I was in the pool store TWO individuals had CYA so high even the Leslie pool man said drain water about 4 ft and refill, same with the second couple getting their water...

thanks!

Blake I do believe you are on the money.....I will be very patient and only 1 Puck a week testing weekly to see what is does. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great weekend!

Blake, thanks for the reply.....I dont have a SWCG and the only reason I am asking this question is with the rains and adding water I have noticed my CYA dropping a little over time. I would like to keep my CYA at about 40 and thinking of adding a puck or two (per week) in a floating basket to...

Is it recommended to ELEVATE when needed your CYA using 3 inch Pucks? Not sure how much stabilizer a 3" puck would add to the water but I was thinking of adding one puck in a floating basket to help keep my CYA from falling below 40. My current water test using the TF100 CYA 40 FC 6 CC 0...

Jason, After some research found my pump to only be a 1 1/2 horse power, changed in signature. Anyway after learning my new pump size do you stick with your recommend or would you add plumping to additional return on the other side of pool? Thanks

jason thanks, I have been using three different filters changing them out each time, so for sure rule out damaged filter. I can see where pollen could be fallen in the pool daily so I will run with that and see what happens over the next month or so. I am no expert on this stuff but you...

OK after maintaing a FC 12 for over a week I decided to check it last night and I read FC 10. Awoke this morning and checked again and reading was exactly the same at FC 10 no CC. Water looks great. Yesterday I was able to get in the pool (warm) and vacuum floors/walls, clean filter and change...

Yea Dave meant well! But thanks Blizzle......ok no DE, I just hope my cartridge and sock I run over the skimmer will get this pesky stuff. I will keep you posted on my progress and the battle continues!

Ok guys/gals.....Hope the weather warms up enough this weekend to roll up my sleeves and begin again my battle with dead algea on the floor of my pool :grrrr: The water looks GREAT as I have maintained a FC level of 15 over the last several days. :goodjob: I will perform full test on Sunday...

I would like to increase the water circulation in my pool. The return on my pool pushes OK but would like to have more movement on the other side of the pool where my ladder sits. Is this even necessary? I keep my eye tilted toward the floor of the pool just seems like there is lots of dead...

Still In Progress MOD EDIT: Post moved to original topic. I know you wanted this post to get some attention, and it will here in your previous post, and that helps us with the history. Thanks. linen I started a new thread because the other was running quite long and wanted to update tose...

Shocked at 2:30 today and reached my FC goal. Tested the water at 6:50PM an the water tested FC 28. It is now sprinkling outside and wonder if it rains tonight will this throw my test off in the morning to see if I had clorine loss overnight? Thanks gang for the help....I will get there!

ok, shocked my pool with bleach to FC 30 and (CC 0) the water is very clear and dead algea is lying on the pool floor. I ran a CYA test before shock and it read 65.....I will do an overnight FC LOSS test, clean and change the filter, and brush the pool. I plan on letting my FC drop to 24 and...

OK will post back with updates......Thanks

OK it may be that Im impatient and want to see my pool floor clean again but I have followed all's advice and maintained my FC at 10 and still see no improvement. It seems more and more is on the floor as each day passes leading me to believe that i am still killing this stuff. Do I need to...

Thanks for your answer, you say keep the FC High, how how would you recommend and for how long, Thanks again for your time.

water test as of 7:00 pm yesterday CYA 50 FC 8.5 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 120 Yesterday vacuumed to waste, brushed pool, cleaned filter daily, still cant rid the pool of this stuff. Not sure what it is. Any ideas of how to rid this stuff from my pool? Water looks good, pics attached.

will the sediment that is white in color that is lying on the floor after shock need to be vacuumed to waste or will it go away after several vacuums?

hey all just awoke and glad to report the water is looking better everyday. She is still a little cloudy but no algea to report and with a little filter cleaning should be awesome in a couple of days. Will keep an eye on things closely and report back with final water clarity in a couple of...

Thanks JBLizzle for your support! Good night

before I started the shock process on April 10 in the evening my ph was at 7.8 and was not planning on checking again until my FC fell below 10 after reaching my goal of FC. I was going to check PH, CYA, TA CC, AND CH When I reach shock level and falls to under 10. So in closing for tonight...

the water is cloudy from adding the Cal Hypo. I will test the water again in the morning when I get home from work at 0700. This time I will take my number from morning test add bleach only to raise the FC to 28 using the pool calculater test again in 1 hr to see if it changed. If not what...
