Hello from Edgecomb, Maine. I filled my pool from our well, bought a sand filter pump. When I mistakenly added powdered shock to the water it instantly turned green. I have been filtering and back washing for a couple days, and the water is just about clear again. but now my f2 level is back to...

It dropped back down to 2/3 mark so I added more bleach. I was cleaning it in good shape today also. I climbed in and vacuumed and scrubbed the sides and bottom. It made a big difference. The pool is greenish colored now, but I thinks it just cause I stirred everything up on the bottom. Def...

Sounds good to me!! Yes, 20 cartridges. ouch is right, but like I said what ever it takes at this point. I promise one thing I will NEVER EVER get water from the local FD ever again. I could have had this filled using my hose from the well by now and had no problems at all. I had a smaller...

Oh yes, I have been cleaning that out daily, In the beginning the filter's were coming out orange and rusty because of the water. In three weeks I have gone through about 20 of them. Now it is at the point that I can get a couple days out of one. Just keep rinsing them out several times a day...

I will go take a picture, but there is nothing on it telling me what the pressure is, Its just the type of filter that came with the pool.. I will go take a picture right now

- - - Updated - - - I think I did the picture thing right this time. Yes I am brushing and running the filter 24/7. I have had it running straight for the 3 weeks I have had the pool filled. I just called about the TF 100 and its on its way.,but still don't have it yet. I even called some...

Good morning!! so the TC finally dropped down to about 2 so I added another 1/2 bottle of bleach this morning around 6:30, just went out and checked it again and its about a 3/4 right now. Still pretty cloudy. Just curious How long does this process take? I have a huge party here next weekend...

So after 6.5 hours I am still up at 5 on my TC. The pool is still cloudy looking but I can see the legs at the bottom of the ladder again. I am assuming that is a good thing. ha ha. Keep checking TC at this point and don't be doing anything else??

Okay. Again I thank you so much for working with me on this, I have been getting so frustrated without a clear pool. I am feeling much better that I have you working with me on this. I will check it when I get back and let you know where I am at. Thanks again

Okay, I am running out of town right now, I am going to see if the pool store might have one of these test kits there that I can purchase so I can get all the correct levels. Is there another one similar to the TF100 I could get for now. I have ordered one, but still has not come in yet?

So after 3 batches of the bleach here is the pictures of what I have so far. Still really cloudy. Do I keep going with Bleach every hour regardless or wait until the TC comes below 10?

Okay, I will keep going until clear, I will post pictures and results in 1 hour. Thanks again!!!

Okay so a new day, What do I do next??

This is what I started with!! This is where I am at now!!

Okay. So last night I added a small bag of the ultra shock. from HTH Before that I was reading no Chlorine at all. But was told not too because of the rust issue that I have been having. Now that the pool has cleared up tremendously from brown rusty water to a cloudy blue. I added that bag of...

I have ordered the TF100 but it has not gotten here yet. Sorry I thought slam meant shock. I shocked it last night. ha ha Still learning all the lingo. I have a cartridge filter system. I am really thinking of changing over to a salt filter. I hear they are really good. and the amount of...

Re: Newbie still having issues I slammed it last night but before that I took a test with my kit that came with the pool. I had zero chlorine my PH was 6.2, my alka was (still trying to figure this one out) 9 drops of the tirant turned it red. my hardness did nothing. I added the 5 drops and...

Happy to report this morning my pool is looking really good. After running the much larger pump that we rented from the pool store for the weekend my pool is just about clear. It still has just a little greenish tint to it, but otherwise looking great. Finally

The water is by far getting better. I can finally see the bottom of the legs of the ladder on the pool floor. The color of the pool has gone from a rusy/brown to a greenish brown color. Someone told me to add clarifier to it. Not sure if I should or not? And I was also told not to add any...
