Our cover blew off during Sandy and now we have a green pool. During the storm we had to hook up a drainage hose so the excess water would drain out...it rained for like 5 days straight here in Norfolk...so we still just have water below the skimmer. All the other equipment is put away nicely...

I'm at my wits end with this project. We started replacing our liner on Satruday...emptied the pool, cut the liner out, laid the new liner out in the sun...here it is Tuesday and we are still messing with it! We had problems getting it to stretch because it hasn't been the warmest here the past...

I have something similar to wedding cake steps but smaller. My pool has been clear all summer. I am currently draining the pool so we can install a new liner due to some major tears and we will be renting out the house in Jan. Anyway, I unscrewed the stairs from the deck and pulled them to the...

We "opened" our pool to a green swamp monster back at the end of March. Yeah, early, but when your cover disappears with the wind, well... Anyway, after almost 2 months of constant chlorine shocking and endless cases of beer and wine, I was about to give up because we STILL couldn't see the...

...water is still cloudy blue. Should I drop it back down to normal chlorine levels and wait? My numbers look fine (TA might be a little high), sand got changed about 2 weeks ago. FC: 20 TC: 20.5 pH: 7.8 TA: 120 CYA: 75 I am ASSUMING my CYA is still 75, haven't checked it in a few days. I've...

Virginia got a HUGE winter storm with 14+ inches of snow that took out, not only our deck umbrella, but it put so much wet snow on our pool cover, it ripped and dumped snow and some leaves into the pool. It is now a pit of algae since I have been working so much and haven't had time to assess...

Sent to a Mod then posted here for answers... I am not sure where to ask this question so could you point me in the right direction to get the right feedback? I am not even sure anyone has had this happen before so here goes. We had a Nor'Easter come through and dump tons of water and leaves...

My numbers FC: 7 CC: 0 TC: 7 pH: 7.8 TA: 80 CYA: 75 Losing NO Chlorine overnight. Water temp is at a blamy (haha) 71*F. The water had leaves on the bottom from an overnight windstorm, some pollen on the surface and splotches of what I THOUGHT was debris/dirt on the bottom. I threw in my bot to...

Ok, so I have been using the BBB method since, oh July this year. (I am a baquacrud convert and never been so happy!) We have had a few mix ups here and there with a few things but other than that, smooth sailing! I was just wondering if my "numbers" are ok? Here they are... FC: 10 CC: 0 TC: 10...

I was REALLY tired and using the pool calculator this morning. I inputed my numbers and then went out and added all but 16oz of my trichlor...yeah...16oz!!! Shouldn't have to use even CLOSE to 16oz of trichlor in MY SIZE POOL! I added 48oz of trichlor to my Dang pool!!!! Once I realized what I...

So here's my situation... Everytime I want to empty my pump basket I have to plug my intake and output, close my filter and it is just so the water doesn't flow out all over the place. My old set-up, before the sand filter, had ball valves so it was super easy to just shut off the intake water...

So today is my first day of the conversion process. I ordered my kit from here this morning. I have bought bleach and started off by using a total of 7 gallons to get my FC up to 15 after 6.5hrs of trying! Mind you all baqua poop readings are 0 already, even the sanitizer, which I thought was...

HIGH! Yes, I am high on bleach right now as I am converting from the baquacrap to BBB! :whoot: But we want to use a saltwater gen since we had one before...when we were chlorine users with an Intex pool...but am seeing that maybe we won't be able to do it because of the sand filter. Any...
