Why, yes, I did. Took a little while, but I did get it crystal clear. I can't wait until next season! Thank you for checking in! Happy Holidays, my friend! :cheers:

Thanks!

Here is where I am today! Thanks again! [attachment=0:fkjs4o33]image.jpg[/attachment:fkjs4o33]

MAJOR Announcement: We are cooking with GAS! Pool is clear, Salt system installed and working, and Life is good ... [attachment=1:2awl0ucz]photo (3).JPG[/attachment:2awl0ucz] [attachment=0:2awl0ucz]photo (4).JPG[/attachment:2awl0ucz] Thanks TFP.com !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl Importantly, don't forget about adjusting pH and the T/A to acceptable levels. I would not use the trichlor tablets unless you need to add additional stabilizer. Start with 9 gallons (128oz jugs) of 6% sodium hypochlorite...

Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl Looks like you have a nice pool. Your stats are: TC - 1.7 FC - 0 pH - 7 Total Alk. - 137 Calcium - 133 CYA - 50 CYA @ 50 is acceptable. Chlorine If your TC is 1.7, your FC cannot = 0. (TC = FC + CC) I will guess your FC = 1.5...

The latest readings I have are: FC=24 CC=0.5 pH=7.8 T/A=120 CYA=55-60 Water is clearing up slowly. I have brushed everything until my arms are falling off! Pool is blue, but I still can't see bottom drain. Shallow end is clear. Tested my T-15 cell at the pool store, and it is good. This...

Clear Water!

Praise the Pool Gods. CC=0, Passed the OCLT, and the pool is clearing slowly with filtration. I agree on the flocking points, but sometimes it's a sure cure. We started with a swamp about 2-1/2 - 3 weeks ago and bought some tools (a test kit) 5-6 days ago. Understanding the chemical...

If the FC level holds til tomorrow evening, I will drop it then. It should kill everything left in the pool, I'd hope. I am planning a major back wash to get the DE out of my Zeolite, and I will refill with fresh water back to normal level. If the water is still cloudy tomorrow with no OCL &...

Ok. Getting aggressive. Raised FC to 37.5 with CYA at 60. I will test early in the morning for results of OCLT. CC is 0. Mustard shock is 34. Running DE for a second night without much pressure increase. Feedback always welcome. All other readings are in range ! Love TFP !

Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl Amen, SS !!!!

Actually, we've used Zeolite for several years. It's not the first year with this batch of Zeolite in the filter. I have new Zeolite ready to go into my filter after I get the water cleared up and my SWG running again. The OCLT was decent 2 days ago, but took a nose dive last night. I bought...

Re: Shocked.Flocked.Shocked.Flocked.Shocked and still not cl The Mod Squad's advice has helped me very much. I was a pool chemistry novice, like you, even though I have been opening and closing my pool for nearly 30 years with limited knowledge of how to solve specific problems. I knew how to...

Not a problem on being to the point! Thank you for taking the time to reply! I will look up that value on the chart. I bought the Tapatalk app but haven't used it yet. What do you think of it ?

Thanks ! I understand the criteria. Can you give me a not to exceed FC value, slightly above "FC at shock level". I will have to go above the recommended CYA to Chlorine - Shock Level, as I cannot be at the pool to monitor it, while I am at work. And finally, with respect to chlorine dosing...

Thanks linen! You are very correct on this point ... Ran the pool all night and expected it to be much clearer this morning, but it wasn't. It is looking better, but it is still milky looking. We are using Zeolite as a replacement for sand in our filter, and I am thinking of changing it out...

OK Butterfly ... I thought about aid a filter aid before I posted, but not DE. Forgot about that option. Thanks for the :whip: Bought some DE just now, and I'm about to add it. Pics will follow any drastic improvements. Love TFP Forum Folks !

It's Beer Thirty, here! Get us a chair !!! :party:

10-4 Butterfly ... :goodjob:

OK Fellow Pool Heads ... I love this site, and I hate the pool store! SOS!!! I'm trying to get rid of cloudy water now. Algae is gone, I think. I have a little ONCL @ 3ppm. Other test results are well within the acceptable range ... CYA = 6.0 | TC = 20.5 | FC = 20 | CC = 0.5 | pH = 7.5 |...

:cheers: to you, too, good friend ! I am so close to swimming with the kids, it's not funny. The weather is beautiful ... water chemistry almost perfect, but water is cloudy! Hope you have a great Father's Day with your family ... swimming in your pool !

Just to put everyone at ease, ... I was born at night, but not last night! :shock: The person in the water was only in for minute, maybe two, not for the afternoon. And, although were tough as nails in C'ville, GA, we weren't relaxing in the pool. We're trying hard to get there, though...

Thanks for the helpful direction. I just broadcasted it in the deep end and brushed the pool bottom. CH in my pool is low, but I will check it in a couple of hours. Will check the fill water, too. Do I need to maintain CH in a vinyl liner pool? I was advised that it is only necessary for...
