Interesting... but how do I gauge the amount of water I am removing from/ adding to my pool using this method? By timing it? I could calculate the fill rate with a bucket I guess. ??*?? 30k gal in ground vinyl pool, Taylor K-2006 kit

Ok retesting using #8.... I got 45 so the actual value would be around 90.... so I guess in need to lose some water and refill?

I retested and it could be closer to 90. The crazy thing is that the pool gained about 2 inches of water (30k gal pool). I know my CYA level was accurate before because I successfully completed my SLAM at CYA of 70.

My CYA was 70 this week during a SLAM I was doing. Chlorine source was 6% chlorine bleach... that is it! It rained very hard after I finished the SLAM. I gained a lot of water in the pool that day. The next day I went back to vacuum and check levels.... CYA went from 70-100! After a rain...

Alrighty then.... I was able to get 6 gallons in.. that’s all I have. It’s 11:30 pm here so I’ll get more ASAP in the morning and add. The algae wasn’t that bad so maybe this will do the trick? I know, I know follow the SLAM rules. Anyway, going to check first thing in the morning.

How should I add? To the skimmer?

I have a 33k in ground. There is algae. Here are my numbers FC 6.6 pH 7.3 Cya 80 Alkalinity 40 When I did the calculations, it’s saying to add 975 oz of 10% liquid chlorine... I’m scared to add that much to the pool at one time! How do I make sure it doesn’t bleach the liner???? Help!!!!

Im not experienced enough to be playing around with impellers so I guess I'll just go for the bigger filter

Sorry about that. I forgot to update signature. I also realized I posted this in the wrong thread. I have a 1.5 hp pump. I have read that is a bit much for a pool my size but it's what we have.

I am looking to replace my sand filter. Not sure what size to get. I have a 10,000 gal AG and a 1.5 hp pump. My last filter was a hand me down so I know nothing about buying a filter. Any input is greatly appreciated! :o

Vitamin c tablets worked! Guess I'll be doing an AA TREATMENT soon. I may wait a little bit just so the kids can get some swimming in... Pool has been out of commission for 2 weeks!

Ok so I will take water to pool store and have them retest... They carry proteam metal magic if I need it. Now when I held glass container of water against a white paper it looked clear with no coloring. If it was yellow it was very slight. I was going to hold a trichlor puck against the...

Ok so pool is continuing to lighten up ... It's less green everyday. I looked at water through clear container and compared to a white background. It looks clear with maybe a slight tinge of green or yellow but my eyes might be playing tricks on me. All I have been doing for the last few days...

Pool is clear green.

Ok so here are my results FC 20 CC 0 TA 160 pH < 7.0 ( was hard to tell) hardness 170 CYA 40 Pool water is still tinged slightly green but water is clear... Could this be metal? I really don't know where it could have come from.

Yes I read pool school and understand the chlorine to cya ratios. Pucks are out so only thing going into pool right now is liquid chlorine. I followed the directions to a "t" for green to blue and watched the YouTube video before administering to the pool. I will try the vitamin c test and...

Ok pucks are out but i have used this inline chlorinator for atleast 6 years now with tri- chlor.... Cya never got out of control. I did have to add water frequently due to volume loss so maybe that kept my cya level lower. I added the green to blue 1 (cal hypo) by dilssolving in water and then...

Ok new problem... My liner is definitely stained brownish yellow color... I think it was from the HTH Green to Blue I administered last week. How do I get that out?!?!?!?:cry:

Thanks sminor! I will turn off inline chlorinator and add liquid chlorine tonight and report in the morning!

Ok so I got 8.25% bleach.... Let me give you an update. After adding baking soda to get TA up, Stabilizer , and 3 - 3" tri chlor pucks to inline feeder , oh and about a gallon of 8.25% bleach...these are my readings with my test strips. I know they are not reliable but it's what I have till...

Ok I'll just get bleach... I think the liner bleached out from dumping shock in and not mixing with water before putting in pool. That's my guess

This picture was taken right after I finished vacuuming. the liner is bleached out in spots making it look like debris is in the bottom. I'm pretty sure there is no iron in my water...it is town water and my house is relatively new. So I have a Bjs right around the corner and I know they...

Anyone out there?

Here is a picture. We repaired the biggest hole so it seems the water loss problem is fixed. The only water loss now is due to wasting and back washing. Also, my own calculation and the Pool store calculated pool volume at 8500 gal. The pool calculator here says 9300 gal... Im confused?

I just added signature

Thanks for the welcome! I use Hth 3" tri chlor pucks in a inline chlorinator. Hth cal hypo for shock.... I was away for awhile So chlorine was neglected and we have been replacing water due to leak... I guess my Cya levels were low to start with this spring and it continued to fall as water...

FC 0 TC 9.1 CC 9.1 pH 7.0 TA 0 Hard 230 CYA 5ppm Copper 0 iron 0 Pool went blue to green over night! I've seen worse so I super chlorinated... No good. Shocked again next night and did Hth green to blue. It would look clear in morning and then get green as day goes on... Took water to pool...
