With a cya of 120 your shock level is 47. You can also do a dilution test for free chlorine so it does not use up all your reagent. I think purified water is recommended?? You are definitely at the right place among many TFP experts to solve pool problems. Also Welcome!

I don`t think the Phosfree is necessary but I`m sure someone with more knowledge will chime in soon.

Happy 4th to Ya`ll also. Richard You beat me as I didn`t get out there till 6:20 to do the same all the while remembering how dangerous pools can be. You see I met my wife of 36yrs. exactly 39ys. ago Today at the pool in our neighborhood clubhouse! Would`nt change a thing.:D

As Jason said You need to use pool math to calculate. And Welcome to the forum :cool:

Very Encouraging, I think I`ll try it next season. Thanks :cool:

Sometimes it seems like a slow, painful process. But You`ll get there and the reward is very satisfying. Keep it at 19 and roll on. :D

Clearing Your pool the TFPC method will be cheap, but if Your like I was the water is gonna cost plenty. I had to replace 50% because of pool store bad advice. Good Luck! and Welcome to TFPC :D

Welcome fellow Georg`n. Congrats on finding TFPC on Your 1st pool. It took me 15+yrs to learn better.(a lot of wasted money) This site is awesome:!:

keep it on the high end and avoid any probs. Pool looks great by the way:)

Should your fc be at about 5-6ppm?

Absolutely. It can make a big difference in calculations. Carry On:)

And...Are You sure Your pool is only 18800gal.?

Go to 19 and HOLD. It will eventually clear.

I know the wife is always right. Put Your foot down and chose the forum and there will be tons of help, FREE :wink:

Welcome to the forum! "Does mustard algae float on pool water?" I know pollen does but I don`t think MusAlgae does. Somebody with a lot more knowledge then me should soon chime in.

It may not be worth .02cents but here`s mine: I`d vacuum to waste every time that stuff settles from now on.

Yes: ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY :D

From Pool School:You are done when:A. CC is 0.5 or lower; B. You pass an OCLT (ie overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less); C. And the water is clear. When all three are true, you are done SLAMing and can allow the FC to drift down to normal levels. I think Your there man !:cool:

Leave it or take it to 16 either way your there. Great job! Let us know OCLT results.

If You cannot keep pressure at least raise your fc to 16 and put it on recirculate. Use poolmath. Get some chlorine in there!

Same to You. Looks Great

I think You need a higher FC .Go to poolmath and enter your results,Also get a good test kit recommended on this site. You1ll be back in business in no time.

You`ll be sparkly in a matter of hours, instead of days now. Great job, super pool.;)

Just my 2 cents: I would get back to slam at 24 and like mk Finish Him! :p

Here is our pond.

Looking almost sparkly :cool:

Steady at 78-80 here. Very Refreshing

Thanks TFP

Nice progress from last pics. :)

If your cya is 40 then take it to mustard algae shock level 24? (ck pool math) and hold it for 2-3 days and watch it clear.
