Hello, so far the pool has been clearing up and is looking nicely blue. I can now see the deep end even more clear. I am still vacuuming and brushing the pool as suggested. I am seeing an improvement over all. A few dead algae spots here and there but will tackle them once I get the PH...

I drop MA as per the calculator. I did several checks for FC level to make sure it stays at Slamming range. My last 2 checks, not much FC lost, seems to be leveling off. As for raising the PH, I don't want to add any MA now that I am slamming so I am aerating it. I have a slide so had the...

As per the Slamming instructions, I need to get my ph down first and then start slamming. the slamming will start today. iI shut down my SWG. Now that I know my chemistry readings and understand a bit more, I know I am heading in the right direction. My current readings. FC = 20 (will...

I got home and I can see an improvement. I can see the deep end returns better. I started to vaccum to filter. It got a bit cloudy ,I guess some stuff got through the filter. Either way, I shut the SWG and pour MA as per the pool calculator to lower the PH. I will see how things look...

Thanks for all the responses. When vaccuming, do I vaccum to waste ? I notice 2 days ago when I was brushing the walls, the water shooting out of the jets was someone cloudy. Is this normal or is it just stuff the filter is not picking up. Hence my question about the DE.

Folks, thanks for the responses this morning. Here are a few pics I took a few mins ago. I have been reading the ABCs. I was getting desperate and while waiting for the test kit to arrive, I needed to at least fight some of the green stuff. I can see the deep drains faintly. Let me know what you...

Hello, thank you for your response. The chlorine is high due to my pouring several of bottles of clorox and running my swg at 100%. The pool was getting greener and I felt I was losing the battle. i figure if there is plenty of chlorine it will kill any algae. my question, do I lower my swg...

Hello, I finally decided to take control of my pool and not rely on the pool store for readings. They just seem to have a different MO. Anyway, I received my kit (TF-100) and did my first test today. Here are my readings. I hope I got them right. Any help is greatly appreciated...
