My overnight FC level went from 17 last night to 13 this morning. Second morning in a row with those numbers. Pool is full of rust..well water...I already have algaecide in It and my cya is zero. Do I finish slamming it and get my cya up or stop and clear rusty water first? I'm already...

I went through the SLAM process and had my water sparkling clear and all my numbers were right except for cya of 20. After a day of very heavy rain, we got in to swim and noticed that we kicked up enough gunk to cloud the water. I tried to filter it for a couple of days and finally sucked it...

I just tested my water and the following are my results. PH 8.5 CL 9 TA 130 CH 120 CYA 20 Other than the high ph, can I simply bring the chlorine up to shock level and close or will the ph have a negative effect over the winter? I will be using a micromesh winter cover so some rain/maybe...

I have been trying to clear my pool for weeks now (was a total swamp and I ended up dumping a ton of leaves in when I removed the cover). I have been running the sand filter 24/7 and i still have green tinted water. Perhaps I need more time but with the following levels, i dont see how algae...

We will be taking a 5 day vacation and I'd like to return to a nice pool. Here are my current readings, using the BBB method: TC 3.5 PH 7.5 CYA 45 I have a 15'x42" intex above ground so would putting several of the 1" tablets in the filter suffice? If so, how many?

When i uncovered my intex 15x42 pool a week ago, i inadvertantly dumped the filth that was on the pool cover, into the pool. That caused a huge mess which i have skimmed as best I could but i also discovered that i had hundreds of tadpoles in the already green, algae filled water. I figured...
