That easy? Hmmm, I was thinking I'd need to clean up some with a razor blade before applying new but wasn't sure how to pop them off. Also, they were sheets of 6 tiles or so when applying and I'm hoping to just remove one here and there, not the entire sheet so I guess we'll have to give it a...

Both of these links talk about installing tile on a fiberglass pool. There is nothing I found on how to remove it.

We added waterline tile to our fiberglass pool about 8 years ago. We're in a northern climate and despite efforts to keep the water below the tile all through the winter, we have had freeze-line damage to some tile. We have leftover tiles and ideally, I'd like to remove the damaged ones and...

Thanks! Yes, researched footprints and required space and depth and have a few options if accessing water isn't too much of an issue.

When we installed our pool a few years ago, I never considered a slide. A lot of construction and concrete later, we are considering adding one. I have a corner behind a fireplace pavilion that would likely work best, problem is, how do we get water there? From what I'm reading, water from...

I didn't get my SWG turned back on until around 11 or so. I had to reset it because it was reading 2600 and I tested twice with my kit and got 2800. At 2600 the SWG will not run at full output because it's thinking it doesn't have enough salt. I added about 28lbs of salt to try to get around...

Yes, pool is in direct sunlight from sun up to sun down

Yeah, thought about that too- the thought of getting up at 6am to test again is not appealing. I'm not a morning person! :sleep:

Just checked FC at 11:50 and it's 8

OK, I did think about that but felt with my CYA so low that I may burn through it today pretty fast. I was at 10.5 at 6am and I'm going to test again here shortly. I guess if I'm still up in the 10 range I'll turn it off. So you're saying just to manage FC level with bleach for now until I...

I passed the overnight test- YAY!!!!! 9pm FC was 11.5 6am FC was 10.5 and CC 0, pool is crystal clear- even more so than yesterday! Whew....looks like our party will go on on Sunday! I'm going to keep up on it today with vacuuming and clean the filter again, but when I ran the brush around...

Here's where I'm at today 6am FC 9.5 and CC 0....Water was slightly clearer. I brushed at 6am and there was green dust, not too bad. No algae on walls or ledges like yesterday morning. I added 40cc of bleach. 10am FC 12 vacuumed and no green dust, pool much clearer than 6 am. 1 pm FC 9.5 -...

A few photos- yesterday Today Yesterday Today Not looking too bad overall - - - Updated - - - I looked at the lights today- no screws that I can see. I hate to mess with them. I vacuum over them and took a small brush around them. Hoping that will suffice. Thanks for the...

So here are my results from so far today. 9pm FC 11 and CC 0.5 6am FC 9.5 and CC 0....so I dropped 1.5ppm over night. Water was slightly clearer. I brushed at 6am and there was green dust, not too bad. No algae on walls or ledges like yesterday morning. I added 40cc of bleach. CYA testing...

Thank you!! Appreciate the votes of confidence and all of the advice! My husband had no faith I could tackle this and wanted to hire someone. :rolleyes: Crackerjack4u- I had been draining the hose tubes back into the pool but you're right, probably best not to to be completely thorough...

I did notice what could possibly be a drain plug at the bottom- it was a black round cover looking thing. I'll have to look in the am, I've never messed with it. If that is a drain, then yes, I could get that water out and scrub out the inside of the housing, which would be ideal. We do have...

10am FC 14.4 12pm FC 14.4 2pm FC 13 4pm FC 12.5 6pm FC 11 and CC 0.5 9pm FC 11 and CC 0.5 I'll check in the AM around 6am to see if I drop any overnight. Question- if I don't drop, or only drop to 10 and my CC stays 0.5 or less but my water is still cloudy- I have to continue the SLAM...

10am FC 14.4 12pm FC 14.4 2pm FC 13 4pm FC 12.5 6pm FC 11 and CC 0.5 I'm going to test at 8pm and if I drop to 10 or lower should I put in more bleach with my CYA estimated at 10-20? I'll do a final test around 9:30-10pm and before sunrise for OCLT. I did another brushing and vacuum...

The K-1766 Taylor Salt Test, correct?

Just did my 4th test 10am FC 14.4 12pm FC 14.4 2pm FC 13 4pm FC 12.5 I do have the R-0003 DPD #3 Reagent and just tested for CC following my FC test and it was 0 Guessing I just sit tight with CYA ~20 I'm going to brush and vacuum here shortly, I'll hose off my cartridge again too. My...

This is my first issue ever with the pools chemical balance and therefore my first SLAM. My instructions for the DPD read to use a 25ml sample and multiply by .2 which I did but then read further and saw the option of the 10ml sample with 0.5 multiplier! Oh well, live and learn. Guessing my...

Thank you! Yes, with my last test (where I got 13) I filled to the 10ml mark and used 26 drops. I'll continue to test that way. Texas Splash- Thank you re: OCLT and SWG!

2 hrs later and the FC is 13, dropping from 14.4. It seems I'm holding FC fairly well but I just brushed again and thought I saw some green dust on the one ledge. It was hard to see as I have the jets making ripples where I thought I saw it. Just tested my CYA again and it's around 20. So...

And in regards to 72 drops- I had the tube filled to 25mls and added 72 drops which calculates to a FC of 14.4 correct? 72 x0.2 = 14.4
