Thanks Mprysak82, I just replaced the filter and used the old sand (zeobest) from the old filter before I started this process. It didn't look dirty. I had to go on vacation for a week last week. I had my neighbor put a half a gallon of liquid in my pool daily while i was gone. The pool looks a...

The pool is progressing but it's slow. I am thinking about flocking it. Thoughts?

Not sure I want to deep clean this year. What constitutes a good backwash and rinse?

Thanks for all the help. I have not done an OLCT. I will do so when I get my refill. BTW, just added one of the nice gauges from tftestkits to my order ;). How can I find out what a good starting, or clean psi is for my sand filter. I had the sand changed to zeobest about 4 years ago. Thanks!

I came up with .75 by dividing 3 drops in half (simple math made hard). 1.5 is my CC, sorry. I am filter 24/7. We have had a lot of rain lately. I have gone through 18 gallons of 10% chlorine, I figured I would be a lot further along by now..like clear pool further along... Also, I am 4-5 drops...

I have been keeping my shock level according to pool math. My CYA has been up and down but right now shock is 14. I haven't been able to shock since last night, but I have been pretty diligent about it. The first few days I was testing every half hour because I had the time. When I don't have...

I posted those results right after I tested. What seems off about them? CYA = 35

Here are my current test results: FC = 7.5 CC = .75 PH = 7.4 TA = 80 CH = 100

Hi All, I have been doing the SLAM process for a little over week now and my pool is still cloudy. Any help is appreciated!

Hi all, I tested my CYA level and it's below 30. I put about 5 pounds of CYA in 2 socks in my skimmer. My question is, should I wait until my CYA is at least above 30? Should I go ahead and continue shocking my pool?

Thanks for all the advice. My test kit got delayed and won't here here until tomorrow. I will post results then.

Thanks for all the advice. Here are the test results from the pool store. I have heard mixed reviews on pool store tests but this is what they gave me. The test they use is "Clear Care Expert" FC = .23 Total Chlorine = 1.09 Combined Chlorine = .86 PH = 7.2 TA = 87 CH = 112 CYA = 4 Saturation...

Awesome advice guys. I had no idea that store Ollie's even existed, 12.5% Liquid is the way to go it seems.

Thanks for the warm welcome and quick response! I only have a basic taylor Kit, I have a k-2006 test kit on the way tomorrow. My Ph is 7.2 and my Cl looks like 0. Those are the only readings I have at the moment. I did put cya in a sock and and took about a week to dissolve. Last time I checked...

My pool is a swamp and I am following the "Turning Your Green Swamp Back into a Sparkling Oasis" sticky to clear it up. In that thread JasonLion recommends bleach to kill the algae. My question is was that purely from an economical standpoint? The reason i ask is I am getting Poolife turbo shock...
