Wouldn't you be better off with the 73% Calcium Hypochlorite version? https://www.doheny.com/drytec-extra-shock-73-calcium-hypochlorite-24-lb

Western New York here. Typcially I go threw 3-4 gallons of LC per week. Every spring I stock up on cheap LC at Ollie's. Stopped by Ollies, Walmart, Lowes today... zero chlorine in any form. Shelves looked like the toliet paper shelves from March 2020. I'm really not sure how i'm going to get...

I've been getting sand in my pool after a backwash and water is coming out of the waste line when the filter is set to filter. My searching is leading me to believe that I have a bad spider gasket. I'm considering replacing the entire Key, Cover and Handle Assembly. I can't determine the...

My skimmer baskets and skimmer and flaps are all broken and I can't figure out the correct replacement parts. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have any advise on how to patch holes in my PVC? My PVC has 2 holes drilled in them for an inline chlorinator that I do not use. The last 2 years I've installed the chlorinator just to fill the holes but its just sitting there doing nothing.

Hey jblizzle, I don't believe the SLAM process is complete either... I'm just surprised at how easy it's been going. Much easier and cheaper then previous years. I was a bit surprised this morning though at the FC level. It will be interesting to see what it's at tonight.

Just an update (and more a way to help me track)... Tuesday night around 8PM I added 1st dosage of bleach to get to FC 16 (5 gallons of bleach) Wednesday night around 8PM tested FC at 3, added the recommend dosage of 4 gallons of bleach to get back to FC 16 Thursday night around 8PM tested FC...

@rick6668 Which Ollie's in Rochester did you see the bleach at? I went to Ollie's in Greece last night and they told me they don't carry bleach :(

Yes, yest kit received. I will grab some more bleach on my way home from work tonight and test FC Planning to keep FC at 16. Thanks for the help!

A little update of where I'm at. I'm going with jblizzle's guesstimate of 26k gallons Took my cover off on Monday and it was pretty much a swamp. I vacuumed to waste as best I could, refilling to pool as needed. FC is zero. I then tested the CYA and it was around 80. I did a few partial...

Nice!! I'm in Rochester too... Hopefully I can stop at Ollie's today after work and scoop some up!

I already have a TF-100 test kit on order. It should arrive next week I've read most of the Pool School stuff already. It's probably a good idea for me to re-read it a couple times to get more familiar with all the lingo. I look forward to not visiting that dam pool store this year!! Thanks...

I'm traveling for business next week but plan to open her up on Memorial Day (fun!). I have a mesh loop lock cover on my pool. Every year when I open it it's completely green. Typically I vacuum to waste to get all the settled green stuff out. Even though the pool has a ton of water in it...

Hello, I've been struggling with my in-ground vinyl pool since I purchased my house a few years ago. One of the biggest problems I've had over the years is I don't know how big (gallons) my pool is! There was no documentation on the pool left from the previous owner. All I have for accurate...
