Congrats!

I think they only want u to shut it down at night time...sorry for the confusion...

Pool School is saying at least 30 minutes after your last chemical addition to test water... To perform the overnight FC loss test: 1. If you have an SWG, tablet chlorinator, or other chlorine feeder, shut it off completely. 2. After the sun goes down, and at least 30 minutes after your last...

I added some comments in your quote My start My finish Just saying :goodjob:

hehe...i was going through a rough week at work and couldn't maintain my pool...your right though...pucks are trash

wow the results are in from the Sand filter change...Lets start with the before Then after the sink and swim and turning off filter Then after vacuuming and turning on the filter Now after changing the sand this past Sunday These are with the filter running.... :goodjob...

Just changed the sand in the filter (2 bags = 100lbs hayward s170tscp) an hour ago. No lie, i immediately saw results...I plan to go through a official shock process in a couple of weeks. I will keep you updated!

Oh i'm in Virginia not AZ, unless you were abbreviating something else :goodjob:

Update Received my Taylor k-2005...Test results from Sat 2 hours after i poured a bag of shock (Cal-hypo) TC - 5+ FC - 5+ CC - 0?? TA - 110 CH - 190 PH - 7.4 CYA - a little under 30 I ordered the FAS/DPD test, as well as 3 bags of sand last night.

Hey NPO, hope everything is going well. Do you mind posting a pic?

Ah I see...Cut it off for a day or two, I don't think it will cause that much harm... Oh yeah, my dilemma currently in progress can be found in this thread oh-my-god-sink-and-sweep-cloudy-water-t43301.html ...Apparently my next step is to replace the sand in my filter and to buy a FAS-DPD kit...

I would just look for "pool flocculant" because that is all "sink and sweep" is. Basically it clumps all of the tiny particles (which are making your pool cloudy) together and drags them to the floor. To be honest, you may not need to use floc. Are you running your filter 24/7? If you cut...

Every case is different. Me personally, I was dumping in a bunch of bleach with the filter running 24/7 and the best I could do is milky blue. After weeks of not seeing my desired results, i bought and applied some flock (aquachem sink & sweep) and cut off my filter for 24 hours. I finally...

Try boosting that chlorine, have you tried vacuuming yet?

thanks, im gonna try this whenever i have a chance

Thank you for your suggestion. I haven't gotten around to changing the filter sand, maybe i will do that next payday. I hear I should change the laterals as well?

updated photos...ordered a taylor k-2005 from ebay, it's on it's way. Did the sink and sweep and vacuum process a good three times. My test strips had Hardness at 100, so I ordered some increaser. Dumped in 4 182 oz bottles of bleach yesterday just for fun. PH was 7.8 w/ my liquid test kit...

keep that filter churning and add bleach bleach and more bleach...

By applying sink and sweep to your pool and shutting off your filter for 18-24 hours, you will be able to see the bottom of your pool...flock is designed to clump all of the small particles together so they can drag to the bottom of the pool, hence the name sink and sweep...running your filter...

Try vacuuming to waste before you dump all sorts of chemicals...i'd recommend buying a flock like "Sink and Sweep" (you can find at Target). You remove the skimmer basket, pour about 8 oz down, set the filter to recirculate. After 10 minutes put the basket back and continue to let the pool...

In have a ta fc cc ph liquid drop kit I bought off ebay...and 2 kinds of test strips...like Isaid before, I'm thinking the maintenance is a bigger factor than the testing

Yeah I think more of the problem is with vacuum and filtering than bbb...yesterday i opened up the pump basket and it was filled w/ twigs. The pool came with a basic haywood sand filter....I've been using a brush/vacuum head I found at walmart...I do have a weighted vacuum head coming in the...

My water has been cloudy as fugg. I bought a foreclosure last May. I went to the pool store and they sold us about $300 worth of Baquacrap. Lets just say the pool was never where we wanted to be. This spring comes (round 2). I stumbled upon this forum and heard raves of the BBB method. I...

Just got back from Target. 1 182 oz "Target brand" bottle for 2.99!
