Re: Should I empty and start over? A million white strands o I had this same problem, along with a very fine brown powdery (on the bottom of my pool)substance last year, and a little cloudy water, too. Read the "pool school", how and when to shock your pool. My guess is that it's some type of...

oopps YES the CC is .5 or less (just a tinge of pink)...Guess I was too excited about a clean pool!

Very Clear w/ my goggles on, I can see the printed liner the whole way across under water. And there isn't anything "floating" like there was before!!!I am very pleased that I stuck w/ it, and was very diligent about keeping FC at 20 or above. So glad I don't have to deal w/ the pool store...

I am pleased to announce after 6 days of keeping my pool at shock level. IT looks beautiful!!! I have no brown stuff on the bottom either ( I suspect the solar cover was the problem). I got a new one and brown stuff is gone!! Here are my new numbers FC 10 (still coming down) CC 0 TA 160 (am...

Ship I bought them at the local pool store. I paid 10$ for 5 in a pack. Just about the same as online, but without the wait. But honestly they look like a woman's nylon Knee-Hi, but only blue.

Yes I have tried the skimmer socks (bought them yesterday). The only thing i have is a ladder in my pool and a mat under it, and the skimmer box and return jet. But the 15 must have been correct, because I put the 128 oz of 6% in and it brought the FC back up to 20.5 in an hour.

1 hour later FC is 20.5 CC is 0

UGHHH! OCLT l lost 8.5 ppm overnight....What the heck??How is this possible when I have been keeping it at shock level for 3 full days?? Never lost that much over the last 2 nights. FC 15. CC .5 (or less) CYA 50 PH still reading high TA 120 (checked 3 days ago) CH 260 (checked 3 days ago) I...

I am intrigued by this conversation, Because I, too, have this same exact problem!!! Did it finally clear up or are u still dealing w the matter on the bottom? I also live on a dirt road in the country surrounded by trees.

I am making progress. This morning lost 1 ppm in FC over night and CC was .5. Tested again this afternoon FC is 18.5 (then added more LQ to shock level) but the CC was 0!! I got into the pool I can see ALL THE WAY (under the water) to the other side, BUT still a little cloudy. "PATIENCE" I keep...

Thanks for the opinion harleysilo,...I have been called a perfectionist before...LOL. And the local pool store has skimmer socks, Yah...at least I don't have to wait days for them to be shipped. Planning on getting (and using) them tomorow!!!

I just took the solar cover off, and brushed walls, floor and ladder. The pool store did test for Iron, and it didn't show any, When I added the 700 gallons it was treated water from a local water plant. FC holding at 20.5 CC 0.5. I did read the threads on adding DE to the filter and was highly...

ok, I lost 1 ppm overnight. FC was 21.5 at 10pm last night and it is 20.5 now. So that is good!!CC chlorine is still 0.5. But I will still keep the shock up till it clears. No rain in site for my area! I had 700 gallons hauled in last week and used it up by vacuuming to waste several times. By...

Thanks for the advice I will do the OCLT tonite/tomorrow, And go from there. I was just getting frustrating after dealing with this cloudiness over a month.

Yes water is very hard for me to come by also, living in the country on well water. When I vacuum the brown dust-like material up it just blows back in the pool, so that is why i was vacumming to waste. It has taken the 2 weeks to reach the 12 psi point right now. But I will back wash in the...

Thank you for the welcome!!Yes the reading goes down to zero when turned off. I have never cleaned the sand filter, Didn't know I had to or even how to. What is an OCLT??

Since I started using TFP, I have stopped going to local pool store. I bought the recomended TF 100 test kit. My water is sooo Cloudy, I get this fine brown dust-like matter on the bottom (only) of my pool. I have vacuumed to waste several times and it is still there but getting less everytime...
