Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Thanks it seems that a little under 1/4 cup does the trick to move 1to 2 psi. Someone suggested my filter was channeled days ago and I didn't see how it could have been but it must have been. Because...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Yes good advice way too much de.... I back flushed and added 1/2 cup....pressure jumped from 12 to 17... So I was way off on my estimate that pool has turned over. I didn't realize filter pressure at 22psi...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Way better than this...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Well that person did sequester the metals and seem to remove something using sock but I did not see that there were any clarity issues when that person started, only staining. Also I didn't see that they...

Minutes. I tried 1/4 cup and it raised psi by 1. Another 1/4 cup raised it 2 to three psi. I then turned pump off and checked the basket on pump. (Should have done this first). Cleaned minute debris from basket (magnolia bud firs) and ran pump on filter again. Psi dropped to 12 When i...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Not on well ..city water. Have made repairs. Metal is iron oxide which is rust as I understand. Now I've got it suspended in water instead of staining the liner/stairs. After much reading on ascorbic acid...

trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain removal The story is my pool was neglected for a long time and I slammed it. After getting organics and algae etc filtered out and no overnight fc loss and zero CC for a week, the pool would not clear and was green...

OK I gave in and tried de after waiting another day since partial drain /fill. The pressure went from 12 to 22 using 1 cup...I'm gonna let it run all night and pray it works. Water is perfect except cya which is low because I drained a couple feet and filled. I repaired skimmer and stairs...

I dropped the water lvl to below 2nd step scrubbed the stairs returns and skimmer with diluted pinks and everything is bright white again. I repaired a hole in stairs where rust was entering water and repaired the skimmer basket where rust was entering pool.. Now leaks sealed and water level is...

Awesome. Thank you very much. I suspected but was really hoping you all would confirm. The fill water surely has small amounts of iron that have accumulated but I think my real iron build up is from magnolia and maple leaves. I read that iron deficiency causes light yellow magnolia leaves...

I may have answered my own question here...copper stains will NOT lift using vitamin c tabs. Is that correct? The stain lifted easily so its iron as my main problem. Then copper is causing the green when adding bleach

My water turns more green every time I add chlorine. My test actually turns bright pink then totally clear and then i ad about 5 drops reagent before it starts turning pink then it goes bright pink again and around 55 drops it starts clearing. Im reading that this is usually copper but maybe...

It would be helpful to know at what pH metals fall back into lining...because that has happened

What does that mean? Do you think it was just decomp? I think it was just mud with tons of bleach making it looked white/grey. It has not left anything else on there during the process. I wondered if it could of been the calcium in the form of mud because my CH is now 100 or slightly below...

I thought about de. People i know that tried it had it blow into pool. Which is odd because i would think their sand would be all over bottom of pool too if its not catching However my water was sparkling before with same setup. I just installed a new pressure gauge and it did build to 18to...

At the time I took that pic I was wandering what the grey white gunk was that built up at the water line. It was thick like mud and I wiped it with cloth to remove. I was not too concerned about the color at that time although I had no clue why the green tint lingered. Is it possible the...

Yes...some nights I get zero loss others have been maybe .25 to .5. ccs are less than .25? I figure when your putting 60 drops in they can't be exactly same size even though I try to let gravity pull drops my hand is shaky. I know I have iron and copper in pool. But its never made it this...

How do I know when my algae is gone when my pool will not clear? Its been 25 to 30 ppm free chlorine for a week. I started to let my chlorine drop down but pool store tested and said I had algae....I took sample to test for metals. They tested 0 copper 0 iron. Because of stain I think metal...

That was he ck by the way but the stars/asterisk make me look like potty mouth

Filter is very old no idea 20yrs....sand replaced with quality sand last year before going through this slam business. I was back washing frequently at the beginning and now I have only backwashed after vacuuming which has been daily. I have not backwashed for 24 hrs because no vacuum...

Using one from this site...tf100 and dpdfas deluxe from local... So 2kits same results

Also today at the water line there was grey/white gue that was basically like mud on the liner at the water line. It was mushy and thick. No idea what that is. There was foam for a few days early on which was netted and there has been a little foam here and there since. I will try to post a...

This is my 2nd pool slam not working nearly as well as last time. The pool is cloudy and is a blue green color sort of like sea foam green but more blue tinted and I can only see first step. Cya 35 chlorine 25ppm CC under .5. I can barely see a color change for cc. ta 130. PH? My gut...

Re: Slam complete 2 weeks later, need help with new test res Thanks for the tips..I will wipe tomorrow when testong and get a couple fresh readings. I am not sure who I ordered the kit through but will update. Regardless of the drops issues the quantity of the reagents are a good value...
