I may be off the mark here, so please let me know if I am... With CYA at 100, your chlorine should be min 7 and target of 12. I think your chlorine level should come up some.

Thanks for the speedy responses. I found a chat box on the company website and asked what was in it. It is in fact cal-hypo. I was hoping for a solution to hauling chlorine jugs around, but this is not the solution. Take care.

I just got an advertisement from Dolphin Pool Supply and in flipping through it found Poolife(R) Non Stabilized Tablets. I know that this question has been asked before, but I have seen only older threads on this. What I read in the older threads was that the tablets don't last very long...

I was at the pool store this weekend and saw a bag of stuff that is supposed to lower the CYA levels. I searched this site and found this discussion. It is like reading a great book and finding out the last chapter had been ripped out. I wanted to know how this ended. :(

Glad I found this discussion (from a year ago). I went to a new pool store (locally owned and operated so I would like to support) and told them I was using liquid chlorine. He went on about TDS and said that I would have to drain a portion of my pool every year due to TDS build up. I had...

I turned the skimmers off and the main drain on full power for the most suction. Then slowly and carefully swept towards the drain to get as much sucked in as possible. I didn't want to just stir it up and have it as a cloud in the whole pool. Then we had a day of fun in the pool. This morning...

Thanks for the info. I am convinced that it was DE. I had been playing with some of the valves that I had not moved before. Pressure is good on the filter but it has been a month since I backwashed. I will give that a shot and see what happens.

I just felt the build up at the skimmer entry point and then opened the pump filter to feel it there. It felt more like very fine grit rather than something slimy. I am thinking it may be time to tear down the filter and check the fins. Anyone have any thoughts about that?

We moved into the house with a pool about 2 months ago. I found this site and we have had great luck with our pool... Until a couple days ago. The pool started to look cloudy during the day, so I added some bleach for good luck. The next morning it looked like this. I turned on the filter and...

Thanks for the information.

I bought a house with a pool about 2 months ago - first time owning a pool as an adult. I stumbled across your site right away and have stayed out of the LPS (local pool store). People think I am nuts buying 12 gallons of bleach from Target (buy 3 get one free - 8.25% for $2.99) and boxes of...
