I did decide to bump my chlorine level up a little bit and the pool does seem to be making greater progress. I am seeing deeper and it's blue again. Definitely making the right kind of progress. It's amazing that a slightly premature stop to my slam set me back another 2 weeks! on another...

yes, I am brushing regularly. On the SWG remaining on......after fighting it for so long, I just figured a .5 loss had to mean we were in business, especially since the SWG is set up to disperse chlorine over several hours and the pool sat for several hours without it being on. Just very...

This is a taylor test kit as recommended from this site. I said 37 because it was in between the 30 and 40 marks, closer to the 40....and I tested it twice. This test calculates CC by adding 5 drops of solution back to the test tube that was just turned clear by testing for FC. After adding...

I have been at this for weeks, so I figure it's time to get you involved. Let me just give you the latest by started with test results. 12,000 gal above ground pool with a SWG FC - 16 ppm CC - 0 PH - 7.6................but I just put a little shot of muriatic acid in so that should could down...

Should I allow the chlorine to fall back to 4 or 5ppm and then put another metal treatment in? I put them metal treatment in yesterday and ......it might be a little clearer, but its still pretty rough. Also, should I put another gallon of muriatic in there to bring that alkalinity down at the...

I opened our brand new pool around May 10th. I filled the pool with well water, which resulted in crazy high levels of iron. The water was actually very yellow with iron sediment when it was finally high enough to begin filtration. Right about the time I thought I was getting a handle on the...
