Full test results using the TF-100 FC 3.5 CC .5 TC 4 pH 7.5 TA 120 Ch 140 CYA 70 Looks great to me I just need to keep it this way by figuring out this system. Forgot how to post pics...

Did you ever make a decision on this??

Any new pics? Should be close to done huh??

BBBeeaauuuttttiiifullllll! Great JOB! :bowdown:

I use a leaf net but my pool is a small 16' round above ground. It's easy to put on myself and take off myself and the net holds the leaves while removing. Only a few will get in upon removal. Of course it doesn't keep rain water or small dirt and debris out but with the vacuum and 50 lb...

Well that stinks! Sounds like you're on your way again and we can't wait to see new pictures when you have them! May it be smooth sailing (or soon to be swimming) from here! P.S. Hope Fay hasn't been messing things up for you! She's made her presence known down here for sure! I'm ready for...

I can actually see a little *sparkle* starting to emerge! Great job!!! You're getting there and the pictures are AMAZING! :whoot:

Isn't it time for some new pics???

I'm enjoying the show! Keep the pics coming! Popcorn anyone?

Wow! Great job on the deck. Now you'll never have to mow or worry about grass in the pool. :) Happy swimming!

Just to update. Things are going great. Water is crystal clear and has been since my last post. (insert knocking on wood here) I've taken your advice and raised my minimun FC to 5. I like to keep it a little higher (just in case). Seems to do the trick. Only having to add bleach every other...

GEORGIA! I knew it! I'd recognize that clay soil anywhere! I'm down south in Brunswick! Howdy neighbor!

Hi Singing Sailor! Welcome :wave: No polar bears here in Georgia, only whales in my pool! :lol:

Hi! I was wondering where you've been. Haven't seen you post to other topics in a while. Happy to see you and thanks!

No. My Ph has been 7.5 so I didn't think I needed any. Won't it raise Ph?

Water went from green to clear overnight! That was CLOSE! :shock: I'm on it though and will continue pouring the liquid gold. Thanks everyone for the helpful tips!

Bleach jug(s)............Here I come! It's gonna get ugly! My face that is if I see greenies in my pool again! I HATE THEM! :twisted: Ok, I'm hearing raise my target so I will stay on it even tougher. :whip: We had a bad storm blow in this afternoon and the leaves and pinestraw clogged my...

These are from yesterday Before shock FC-3 CC-0 TC-3 Ph-7.8 TA-90 CYA-40 Water temp was 91+ Shocked to 18.5 before bed and was 16 this am. Added more bleach up to FC-22 and this afternoon came home and it was down to 14 with CC-.5. Shocked back to 20 and will check again overnight. Pool was...

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Water is green AGAIN! It's been 100+ here and the water temp is 90+. I shut the pump off so everything would drop to the bottom so I could vac the next day. Got in to vac and all was well. I backwashed and started her up again and when I got home...

I like the bridge without the edging on the front. Maybe just aging that part for now and work toward getting the stone. How would just the bridge look gray?

I LIKE THIS ALOT! Looks like it all fits together and not two different textures.

I got my first dose of algae in June and found you guys so I'm glad the site was back up and running by then or my pool would now be landscape mulch!

WELCOME! :wave: You'll learn all you need to know about your new pool here! Happy swimming!

Thank you! I did it with everyone's help. I was lost without you! I am sleeping better at night but I still check it often....at night and in the morning and throughout the day. Like a newborn baby! I have to make sure it's still "breathing". Always looking for "bugs". LOL! Paranoid I...

BEFORE (still using the intex pump/filter) AFTER (with the new Hayward sand filter and 1 hp pump) one month time lapse This is before I vacuumed. You can see the dirt.

Water is crystal clear! I can see every speck of dirt on the bottom now! Will post a photo soon. Now, if I can just keep it this way!

I have two of the three criteria this am. FC held from 27 last night to 26 this am. CC is .5 Water is STILL not sparkly yet. What should I do? P.S. PH is only at 7.5 which I know is good under normal conditions but during shock isn't it supposed to be really high??

I use a leaf net and it works great. I use mine throughout the pool season but I know the intent is to put over the winter cover. Easy to get on and off by yourself but need help shaking the leafs off. Definitely worth the money! Keeps the big stuff out while the skimmer and filter catch the...
