I was bringing the pool up to a FC of 15 each night but it is not holding over night. I am typically at about an FC of 8 in the morning. I am wondering if that is normal? How do I keep a more consistant chlorine level? I thought the CYA would help to maintain the FC level. I have my CYA at...

I added the CYA today. Added 1.5 gallons of liquid solutions. How long until I can test and get an accurate CYA level

Just back from vacation. Son put bleach in while we were gone but did it a random times during the day, not at night like he was supposed to. Last night FC was zero, raised it to 15 but this moring it bas back down to 5 which is more loss then I was seeing prior to vacation. Is that normal...

Morning results. Hoping my CC's drop today. FC = 12 CC = 2.5

Day 8 and pool is consistantly moving in the right direction. FC at 7:00 PM = 5 added bleach to 15 CC = 3 (I put some pool floaties and a raft in the pool today to rid them of buaquagoo and this is likely why the CC went up. PH was under 7.0 so added som Borax to raise to 7.4. Kids want...

Day 8 and FC was at 12 this morning and CC at 2.5. I scrubbed every surface and vacuumed again. Pool looks awesome. I am down to 2, 121 oz bottles of bleach in the evening to bring the FC back to 15. CC is droping by about 1/2 each day. Going on vacation on Tuesday thru Saturday and am...

FC = 10 CC= 5 Bringing FC back up to 15, going to watch it all day and hope that a consistant FC level will help get me to the no loss over night and lower my CC. Pool looks awesome.

FC held at 15 last night. WHOO HOO. Hope it holds tonight and then I replace the sand and add CYA. Getting close.

sorry for the total mis-spelling of EVERYTHING. THE PINEOT IS TALKING

I need help, I am leaving for vacation on Tueady the 2nd -thru Saturday the 6th, I need this pool to be self sustaining by the 2nd of July...what do I need to do? I can have my son do minor FC adjustments but anything mayor will be out of his abilities. FC = 15 CC = 6 PH = 7.0 ?? maybe...

sand filter, forgvie my ingnorance....but what is OCLT?

Pool went to FC of 2 during the day today but it is clear. PH is low, below my testing kit of 7 and took 10 drops to bring it up to 7.4. I looked for Borax at Wallmart but they were sold out. Question, how much borax should I add for a 15K gallon pool with that kind of PH? I am airrating...

Thanks, it has been quite easy, just lots and lots of bleach. I have not been testing my CC's but will begin tonight. My FC was at 9 this am, down from 15. Pool is clear but still has a slight haze. Raised the FC to 15 this morning and and hoping that I start to hold FC's tonight.

Came home to an almost clear pool. Vacuumed and scrubbed the sides. FC is 5, will raise to 15 when the sun goes down. :cheers:

I woke up to a much clearer pool. I could see the bottom and vacuumed the yellow scum. FC held at 9 over night so I added enough bleach to bring it back up to 15. I began adding the bleach thru the skimmer and I seem to be getting better FC tests. Filter preasure was high this morning but...

My FC is 15 yet I am noticing some fading on the liner. My liner is 10 years. could I be measuring my FC's incorrectly?

Vac'ed to waste and added more bleach. FC was at 12. Here is the latest photo. Pool is bright green.

Pool is not holding FC's and the sun is out again, I am holding off on adding any additional bleach, until I can vacuum the crud and the sun goes down. So much baquagoo in the pool, it looks like a swamp. FC 13 9:30 AM FC 6 10:30 AM

Okay thanks Richard. I am having a very hard time getting my FC level above 10, probably because of all the solid waste in the pool. I have added 6, 96 oz of 8.25% bleach and it has only raised the FC to 9. Should I keep adding more bleach?

Good Luck, I just started my conversion as well and am having issues keeping my FC up. I am going thru bleach like it is my job :-).

FC levels were at zero this AM so I added enough bleach to get to 15. Had to make a 6 AM trip to Wallmart to get more bleach. The pool has lots of floating Crud and my sand filter is gaining about 2 PSI per hour in presure. It is suppose to be cloudy today so I am hoping I can test hourly and...
