Determine Size From Specs?

How did you know??!! Thanks loads!!!!


I rechecked at 10 ml. I will make a permanent marker line on the 10 mL cylinder

I'm using 6% (182 oz jug)

I will be adding 3 jugs as per pool calc.

I'm actually happy that I underdid it. was concerned about ruining the vinyl etc.

I just discovered from a different discussion that I may have a prob with air in the system somewhere. apparently seeing bubbles from the return is not a good thing. who would've known. more things to dissect and learn. However I must say that every backwash is running green water so the filter must be doing its job.

Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

The 25 ml sample is multiplied by .2 instead of .5 and that would make your FC 14.8 instead if 37.

Using the 10 ml sample uses a lot less reagent and it's as precise as we need to be.

With the new info you can adjust the amount of FC you're putting in the Pool Calc and you;ll be shocking correctly.
You should add 3 large jugs of bleach and that should get you to your shock level of 24. Test it again in a hour and let us know how much you lost. If you keep after it religiously it should start clearing up quickly.

Tell the Hubby that we're on the right road now and this won't go on much longer. Once you're done shocking and clearing things will be a lot better. Shocking is never easy or cheap but our way is a whole lot cheaper than the pool store way.

I hope you brought it back to 24!

Keep at it and you should be seeing steady improvement every day.

Post this mornings numbers when you have time.

These pics are after manual vacuum to waste yesterday sending in the dolphin and vacuuming this morning and scrubbing the walls and floor as best we can.
My husband is now in the pool diving and scrubbing around the drain.

I will not be able to take care of the pool tomorrow, how much bleach should I put in tonight?

Thank you so, so much.
I am most appreciative.
We are almost there!!!! YAY!!!!

Looking good.

I'd take up to mustard shock level for your CYA.
I don't remember what your CYA level is or I could give you a number. But you can look it up on the Pool Calc at the bottom.
