Thank you jcowart. I knew I must have tested wrong. I will swim down and see if I can feel it. There is a little down there everyday. Other wise the water is clear and my cc is zero now. Thank you again.

Thank you! This site is amazing and do are all of you.

Ok. I forgot to mention that CC is <1. It barely turns a tiny bit pink. Very very faint. I can see the bottom perfectly. It is very clear. Hard to tell in the pic though I know. And my overnight test last night showed a .5 increase. Obviously I did something wrong there I know. So I guess I will...

Hi, it's me again. So here I am two or three days later. My current readings are FC 21.5 TA 100 CYA 50 CH 150 PH 7.8 Let me tell you what's been going on. The water was very cloudy. Like a pool full of watered down milk. I've been shocking and maintaining 20ppm. Everyday the water gets clearer...

Oh PH is 7.2

Ok so when I got home from work today the pool was clearer. You can see the bottom now. But it's still a little cloudy. It's not crystal clear but it is better. I took the tablets out of the strainer basket and I added borax to raise the PH. I can't tell if there is sand on the bottom of the...

Ok. Thank you. I will let it go for tonight. Thanks to ALL of you for your help. I will be staying in touch through this process. Thanks again!

Hmm. True true point! It was dark. I'm in such a state of turmoil that I forgot that part. Thank you for pointing that out. So I should retest tomorrow. That could change things. What would you recommend I do tonight? The pump is running and there are 3 tablets in. The skimmer right now. How...

My brain is overheating and I can't even think clearly right now. Sorry for rambling.

If they did add stabilizer, I don't see the container for it. Everything I listed is what I have in front of me that was opened and used. There are three trichloro-s-triazinetrione tablets in the skimmer basket right now. I'm not sure what to do with those. Do I take them out and add the bleach...

Ok, my test results. Ph was very pale. Below 6.8 but I don't know how much. FC 2.5 CC .5 TC 3 TA 70 CH tested without copper 180 CH rested with copper 170 CYA looked about 60 So what does all of this mean. Do I need to do a metals test? Am I doomed? Thanks.

I'll test the water now.

Honestly I haven't even tested the water yet. I'm just so sick at my stomach.

Oh and they added some smart algicide with 3.3% copper and 96.7% other ingredients. Silk sticks are the tablets used.

Last year we had a 26' intex pool and this website save us. We were very successful using the BBB. This year we opted to get our new pool. The installation was finished today. We bought a package that included chemicals for the pool. I never intended no using them. I have my bleach, baking soda...

Thanks. That is where I got my information. We have vacuumed, back washed, changed out filters and scrubbed daily. Thanks for the advice. Will follow.

I might add that it has been Very hot here. Today was 101 with heat index of 105. It's been like that for two weeks. Don't know if that makes a difference.

We used city water right from our garden hose. It was packets of dichlor that is correct. We stopped using dichlor because in reading pool school it said to stop after the fourth night because of the delicate balance of CYA and FC. It said to use bleach as our source after that. We were afraid...

Just retested CYA and it's about 18 PH is high. About 8.2 Also when we brush the algae is comes up very easily in a cloud. Is that normal consistency? It always comes back though. Usually in a different spot. Sometimes it's in lines and sometimes in blotches. Just trying to figure out if it's...

Our pool is partially Under a tree. Could it possibly br something from the tree?

We put in 31.8 oz a night of dichlor each night. Ph is 7.5 we have approx 15500 gallons of water in our pool

Noob here. I've posted so many things thus far and have had wonderful response. THANK YOU. We just filled our pool about 6 days ago. Shocked it using dichlor for the first four nights and on the 5th night we noticed algae. Small amounts on the bottom along the seems and other areas. We have...

Thank you everyone!

Ok here it goes. I Tested tonight after using the dichlor for the first four night. I think I'm off on the number of gallons we have in our pool. It's not completely full. Also, the intex pump that it came with started giving me fits last night. I dont know if it ran like it was supposed too. My...
