Checked pH before it got dark, I'm down to 7.2! Do I go ahead with SLAM or wait for CYA tests to show 30?

My FC was 0 when I just checked the pH, which is what it was the previous day, I think my reading this morning was just from my bleach freak out yesterday afternoon. And I do have good circulation going.

So I've added 14 oz of CYA and 13 oz of MA, according to the pool calculator. I know the CYA can take a while to show up on test, but how long should it take for the pH to show lower numbers? I added the MA a little over an hour ago, tested, and it's still hot pink...I'm guessing I need to...

Thanks! Running to the hardware store shortly to pick up some MA for the pH. Quick question though, not sure how I missed it before...I have a SWG, that chart says I should be aiming for CYA of 70-80, rather than the 30 I've been figuring for the SLAM? Or is that just my final goal to get to?

Thanks! The water in the tube was totally clear, no cloudiness at all, so I was assuming it was closer to zero than 30, but I'll go with a starting point of 15, to be on the safe side. The CYA will lower the pH some though, right? Should I go ahead and try to adjust that while adding the CYA...

Life/weather/etc got in the way and our pool didn't get closed last year (a mistake that will not be made again). It sat uncovered all fall and winter. May was rainy and filled with activities that kept us from making any attempt and fixing our problem. My husband has been the main person...

Said wife here, basically we need to know (in case you can't click through the links) if it's safe for the liner (just installed, about 3 inches of water in the pool, but need to back track to make adjustments) to put a submersible utility pump into the pool to drain the water. We are expecting...

Thanks for the feedback. The pump is a 1HP, speed and I believe the filter is good for 1.75ft, I'll have to double check though, I've looked at so many the past couple of days. I appreciate the info on the heaters, I'm going to see if I can work the bigger one into our space. We chose the...

We're looking to put in an pool in the next month or so. We are totally new to all this and I feel a little lost at times when researching. Can you all let me know if this set up is OK before I order the wrong thing or leave something out? We're looking at getting the 18' Sharkline Matrix...

We want to completely surround a yet to be purchased agp with wood panels, to give it a wood sided pool and help it blend into our landscape better. Is this even possible? If so, are there pools that are better suited for something like this? We are looking at oval, resin pools right now, but...
