I wasn't aware of the ammonia issue until I was too far into the process, hopefully this will not happen again with proper maintenance. The pool is plaster, so draining wouldn't be an issue, but I don't plan on letting the pool get this way again and will be upgrading some of the mechanical...

I just bought a thousand shares of both since having the same issue, lol.

Update: When I got home yesterday evening I tested the water and got an FC = 1ppm and CC =< 0.5. Since the FC was below 10ppm I went ahead and adjusted the PH and then added beach per the poolcalc. Before I went to bed I checked water and got an FC = >20ppm, which was over the estimated...

Yes, the water is grey/cloudy and I can see to bottom somewhat in order to vacuum each day. So my question would be, when I get home this afternoon, check the FC and if it's below 10ppm, I would adjust the PH up to 7.2 and then add more bleach or does the adjustment of the PH really matter at...

Well I didn't read your message until this morning. Last night, around 7pm, I dumped 9 jugs of bleach into the pool. An hour later I checked and had 2ppm FC and 7ppm CC (***!!!! Why did it go up?) I said screw it and dumped 16 jugs of bleach and went to bed. This morning I checked and had...

no worries, is there any way beside dumping in more Bleach to get the FC under control. Would the PH being low or lower than 6.8 have something to do with the FC problem?

Ok, I'll dump some more in and check it in an hour. Thanks, Z

Need More Assistance Please. I started the SLAM on Friday, 24 Aug and thought I made some good progress. As of today, I've put about 36, 121oz jugs of bleach in the pool and closest I have reach shock leave has been 7.5ppm. Sunday evening the chlorine level dropped, so I put 6 jugs in before...

Tube was perfectly clear. Yes, will start with just 2 to be on the safe side. I wouldn't want to drain the pool this soon if I put too much. Thanks again for help, much appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. Based on the calc, I need to add 134 oz. by weight of stabilizer to a sock and put it in my skimmer. Is the stabilizer the same you buy from Walmart in the packs? Thanks, Z

Hello, My wife and I just moved into a new home and found the pool was left for us in the green condition. I know the chlorine must have ran out and the algae took over, so I bought a TF100 kit and took some samples, which are below. FC = 0, the 870 powder didn't turn pink. PH = 7.2 TA = 240...
