I finally got to test all the chemicals levels FC 3 CC .5 PH 7.8 TA 240 Calcium 200 CYA 30 Skimmer issue is still there.

Doheny's pool shock: Is it labeled as a calcium hypochlorite shock.............. that is correct I will post the pictures and test results once I get home. but essentially from last couple of weeks we are maintaining the FC at 4. The funny thing is that kids have not even gone in once ( too...

I think I need to address my low suction issue cze the water is getting cloudy a little again could be due to the poor circulation ( FC levels are consistent around 4 )? I dont think anything is clogged in the plumbing because when I turn off one skimmer the suction is good on the other one...

I think Pool water clarity is looking good :) I could c the deep end of the pool pretty clearly now. Over night FC loss is around 1 and during the day is 4-5 and CC is .5. Does the group think slamming is complete. CYA is 30 PH is around 7.8 TA is 280 should I adjust the PH to 7.2 and let the...

I will try to maintain the FC back to 12. The rain storm we had made us focus more on the water behind the liner and not letting the pool over flow so the more water cant get behind the liner. Will concentrate back on FC now until Water is crystal clear. I will try to backwash too tommorow to...

Last few days We have not got much chance to keep the FC at 12. Water is decently clear now< i can c the bottom of the deep end of the pool as well :) and shallow end is pretty clear. I would say clarity on shallow end is 90% and deep end of the pool its 80 due to the dirt/silt. I could c the...

Ohh Patience, very difficult to practice. When I enter 17K Pool with 300 TA and PH of 8.2 to have a Goal of 7.6 PH with 28% - 18, Pool Math suggest to add 60 Oz of Muriactic acid or 73 Oz by Weight. Just for future which reading I should use, "by Weight" or the first one

I was thinking to shoot for 7.8 first. I am little perplexed by the pool math. I have a regular Muriactic acid from Home depot, It says its concentration is <25%. I am selecting 28%-18 Baume option, which reading I should use. Add 72 Oz of 28% of Muriactic Acid or 87Oz by Weight

I will try that test today. 06/16 FC was 13.5 in the morning. CC = 1 PH 8.2 CYA 20 ish 8.2 seems very high, should I adjust PH with some Muriactic acid while I am still slamming

I am testing twice a day 06/11---FC is 9 at night 06/12--11 in the morning and 9 at night 06/13--11.5 in the morning and 9.5 at night 06/14--FC 13 in the morning and 11 at night ( it was cloudy and raining all day ) 06/15--FC 10.5 in the morning and CC is 1 any thoughts on the Skimmer suction...

Got it, Thx, Added the Pic now. I can c the shallow end of the pool with 80% clarity, deep end I can not see the bottom

I am certainly making progress and I agree every pool is different. I am vacuuming and brushing every day ( I skip a day in here and there when I am busy ) I guess my thought process was more like if I am doing everything right. I am having space issues, I will post the pool picture later...

I cleaned the filter today and suction is ok on the skimmers now. The filters were't that dirty especially in comparison to early in the season when the pool was green. Water clarity has improved from last week, i would say 30%. How long the average slamming period, Its almost 8 days for me...

Once I stopped vacuuming today and turn one of the skimmer and main drain valve back to in line. I opened the filter pressure valve and there was no air, water came out right away. Now the problem seems to be little more worse because hardly see any suction on both the skimmers now, earlier it...

I guess I keep slamming until the water is clear. I need advice on how to properly vacuum. I have 5 returns ( 2 on stairs two in the middle and one towards the deep end of the pool ) and two skimmers. Water level is normal. I prime my hose well before I start vacuuming, keeping one skimmer and...

06/08--- FC was 8.5 at night ( loss of 3.5 during the day ) 06/09--- FC was 12.5 in the morning (no loss ). it was 7.5 at night ( loss of 4.5 during the day ) 06/10--- FC is 11.5 in the morning and 8 at night ( loss of 4 ) 06/11---FC is 10 in the morning

I added more Chlorine to bring FC back to 12 Do I need to address the low PH ? All my CYA was dissolved in an hour on 06/06. Should I do another CYA test? CC is stuck at 1.5. Not sure how to bring it back to below .5. Any suggestions?

Richard Question Prompted me to read the instructions of the CYA test again on TFP which are lot more explanatory, I dont think that the reading is 30 ( I thought that was the closest line once the view tube was full :( ). I did another one now the view tube gets full and I can still see the...

Yeh I think it is 30

I cleaned them again and its still 25. But FC dropped to 1.5 instead of going up after I added the Chlorine in the morning. I tested twice to rule out the Testing error and both time it came around 1.5. Is this Normal? Should I keep Going with Slamming?

I started Slamming last night and got the FC to 8 this morning, added more chlorine in the morning to bring it to 12 according to the Shock Level per CYA 30. I am adding some pictures to give a sense of what we dealing with. In the morning the clarity was little better, I Vacuumed it which...

I just wanted to update our pool liner issue. Our liner actually went back to normal over the past few days. I guess there was no leak after all because we have not lost anymore water. It was some sort of weird illusion I suppose that the bubbles were so big that it pushed some on the water in...

we just started testing at home now and got our kit so we don't know what to adjust first and why or even what are the standards. Right now our pool blue but cloudy and can barely see the top of the last step(which it is a serious improvement since the pool sat for two year in forclosure, it is...

I guess I might have a leak then, the liner is 7 years old and pool was not open in last couple of years. - - - Updated - - - Also is it a normal practice not to have a Vacume pump behind your liner for these situations

Still waiting for the Kit. In the meanwhile I have another question. It rained a lot over the weekend in Minneapolis like 4+ Inches and I got water behind my liner which caused it to bubble. The water is receding now and bubbles are going away ( there are still some wrinkles ) at the same time...

Just ordered the Kit. Do I need to do anything in the meanwhile? should I have the Pump running or turn them off
