Hi all, last summer we got a 16' x 48" Intex Ultra Frame AGP, I kind of strung it along last year adding Crud I didnt need here and there and it go me by. This year I upgraded to a 4000GPH Filter and a SWG. After looking through a few online pool forums this was is hands down THE BEST!
I left the water in all winter and reused this year, started out with a TON of algae and very murky
Over the last week I got these numbers

Well as you can see the big difference between yesterday and today!
After using Stabilizer, Pucks and Shock on the 17th/18th...the CYA went through the roof! I drained a 1/4 of the pool this morning and then 1/3 this afternoon, that got my CYA in line. I am running the overnight chlorine test tonight to ensure there is nothing eating my chlorine, pump is on but SWG is off. I am VERY certain nothing is eating it as I havent had a big drop in Free Chlorine and it is maintaining itself.
So having said all that I look forward to your advise on what to do next to get it sparking clear and all numbers in line. I fully believe in the BBB method after reading through about it!
And yes, I will be ordering the TF-100 today or tomorrow.
Thanks!
Nikolas
