Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I should have updated this long ago, but I wanted to give results so that anyone in the future going through such an ordeal and reading this topic will see that I did not give up and that it does work!! As of my last posting, I had...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra According to the OCLT test from last night, I only lost 1fc at regular shock level (12-13). Still no change in clarity. Any suggestions?

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra Thanks for the fairy dust :) I am not sure what is going on with my pump. Too early to be having trouble and we changed the sand back in July before I found this site. Maybe flocking would help. I have a bottle of Bioguard...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra As of today, I have been doing the shocking process for 3 weeks and I am definitely losing POP since I still do not have a "clear" pool. My water color has been blue since last week and I will post some new pictures but I don't know...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I plan on paying it forward once I stop banging my head against the wall and finish my learning cycle!! I guess everyone has to go through an experience (or more) to gather the knowledge to continue on their own pool path and that...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra Today I asked my daughter to help add some bleach (as long as she doesn't forget)-- I was leary of doing this last week without testing, but I feel that it would be okay to add a couple of jugs of bleach throughout the day while I am...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra Thanks for those Swampwoman -- can I ask were you doing anything else to you pool other than brushing and keeping at shock level each day? I am going on day 12 of shocking tomorrow and I don't look to be as far along (close but not...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra Thanks for your comments -- will keep up the shocking process -- Just have to go buy more bleach tonight :) I am shocked that the people working at Aldi have not asked me why I keep coming in and buying such large quantities!! I can...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I checked the FC before sunrise and it was 14 with CC .5. It was 14.5 whenever I checked at 10:30 last night so I didn't lose much more -- did I really lose 3 FC in 2 hours where I checked and added at 8:30 last night or had it just...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I did not get a chance to brush today but this is the first day that is has not received a good brushing. Just had a longer day than I had planned :) My daughter actually got in the water yesterday afternoon and brushed the bottom...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra When I first added the Sparkle Up on early Sat. morning -- I guess I added too much because the psi went up to near 18 in 2 hours - so I backwashed and added just a smaller amount and it went up to that level by late afternoon. I...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I have stayed on top of the pool this weekend maintaining shock level but without much change in clarity. I did add the Bioguard Sparkle Up since I already had some. My filter runs at 14 psi and since adding a small amount of the...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra Another question -- when should I add the muriatic acid and how much since I do not know exactly what the PH is currently. Also, what order should I do this while in the shocking process? Test first for FC, add some MA to lower PH...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I have some Bioguard Sparkle Up (from one of those costly trips to pool store weeks ago) -- is this okay to use since I do not currently have any DE. Do I have to go to a pool store to purchase DE or is it possibly carried at Lowes?

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I have only let FC drop to 9 one night after rain kept me from a late night test and addition of chlorine. Otherwise I have been trying to stay as close as possible. Is it okay to be shocking at 18 at this point? I did another CYA...

Re: Fighting with pool all summer -- any advice before I dra I have been in the shocking process since last Friday morning. Brown color is gone but I have been at a mint blue/green since Tuesday (still cloudy as well). I have been testing every morning and evening (before and after work) and...
