My husband is out there now working on it. He says the wall of the pool itself is perfectly fine. I'm taking this as a glimmer of hope!

The bottom of the pool wall where it would sit in the track? I haven't even looked or thought of that. I'll go out and check now and hope there isn't any damage to that. I'm not even entirely sure if the rusted tracks extend the entire pool or just in the section where the retaining wall was...

We purchased our home with AGP 3 years ago. Everything was going great and we love having a pool in our own yard. I followed all the steps on here for maintaining my pool and I was really impressed with myself!! Well apparently the previous owners didn't have an ounce of common sense with the...

Checked levels last night: FC: 10.5 CC: .5 TC:11 I added enough bleach to get me to my slam of 12 This am: FC:12 CC:0 TC: 12 No improvement on the cloudiness of the water however.

Just check chlorine levels: FC: 15.5 (due to wrong math this am.. clearly before my coffee!!) CC: .5 TC: 16 Just going to let the pump run and try to bring down my FC number. Pool is blue but cloudy!

I re-checked my math! (I have an 8 week old and sleeping at night isn't not in his routine yet!) I was multiplying by .05 and not .5! So my FC was 9 and my CC was 1 giving me a TC of 10. I guess I added more chlorine than I should have this morning (I hope that won't cause harm, my pool is in...

How often should I be checking the chlorine levels during the slam process? I'm a stay at home mom so I could check it hourly but I think that may be excessive!

I can't wait until my pool looks like this, Casey! I added the CYA in a sock and also brought the Chlorine up to slam level. Took a reading of the chlorine this morning and the results are: FC: .9 CC: .1 TC: 1 I added more liquid shock to get me back up to slam level! I'll keep this up until...

Let pump run for an hour and re-tested. Everything is the same with the exception of PH which is now looking more like 7.2.

ok! I'll let the pool run for the night and check it first thing in the AM.

No the water hasn't been circulating for about 2 days, our pump died (of course it did!!) and we just got a new one last night. My test kit arrived about an hour ago and I didn't want to do anything to the pool until I figured out what it was I needed to do! I'm off to purchase Borax and...

Alright I received my test kit in the mail!! The results are as follows: Chlorine: 0 Hardness: 500ppm Total Alkalinity: 40 PH: 6.8 CYA: 0 I suppose that being low is much better than being high so I'm taking that as a positive. Where do I go from here? I imagine the first step is to get my...

I've been referring to this site for the past 3 summer's and never went to a pool store (I understand how terrible they are). I've grown up with a pool and my parents used the BBB method so I always went to them with questions or issues and they guided me. I decided to fully commit and order the...

Hello everyone! We bought our home 2 years ago which came with an above ground pool (this is our third summer with the pool). The pool is my responsibility and my husband wants no part in it other than swimming (figures, right?!). I've managed to keep the pool useable, although not perfect, the...
