I asked a similar question and was given some good answers on This Link Im sure others will chime in here as well.

I get mine from Leslie's as it works out to be cheaper to get the 12% bottles here on long Island NY

Is this normal and if so, why does this happen: When just my two skimmers are running my Multi-Port valve gauge reads about 16psi. When the main drain and both skimmers run the Multi-Port valve guage jumps and stays at 20psi. Thank you! I honestly dont know how I would have gotten this pool...

I woke up this morning and checked on the pool and am seeing the exact same stuff floating on the top of my pool. the same type of "stuff" has coated my car overnight so I also believe this is airborn.

Really?! I thought it would be at least 5 days because of all the scary warnings it has on the bottle, I guess its only dangerous in concentrated form? Thanks JohnT!

I just put a bit of algecide with Poly 60% in the pool. when do you think it will be safe to start swimming after application, 5 days? It will be in the 80's this weekend and the pool is starting to look good! Thank you!

Thanks divnkd101, these are some great tips that i will try out tonight. One last questions, can I run the main drain while having the polaris in the pool?

The house that I just purchased came with a pool and a Polaris 360. I threw the little guy in the pool yesterday to help stir up all the silt I have on the bottom (vacuming daily and I still have dirt in there!). The little guy just seems too lite and the tube connecting it to the return looks...

Thank you Waterbear! I'll start raising my PH and TA tonight then!

Thank you Mermaid Queen, that is what i though but it just seemed so low and the pool store was talking about how its bad for the pump parts...

Thank you Chem Geek, you are always so helpful to everyone. I appreciate your quick and thorough response.

FC: 18 CC: .5 TA: 70 PH: 7.0 CH: 60 (should I be concerned about this?) CYA: 50-60 When I tested before shock cycle the PH was reading 7.2, I believe the test is bleaching out now but I still want to raise it due to the rains we received last night. So how much washing soda should i put in to...

Sorry! CYI is between 50 and 60. I have an SWCG and actually need to raise it a bit more. Thank you for the warm welcomes and quick reply's! wow! Let me awnser my own question then.. So because the CYI is the level its at I shouldnt have a problem and that should actually be my shock level...

First post on the site, woohoo! So how much bleach is too much when you have a vinyl liner? I think i might have over did it when adding "liquid shock" (12.5%) to the pool. I think the FC is hovering around 20 PPM... I think, Its the best guess i could come up with with the test kit that im...
