My water is finally clear
Topics Merged by Moderator
For the first time since the end of March, my pool is crystal clear this morning! I am ashamed to say that I fell off the wagon. Those of you that have followed my posts know that I have brushed, vacuumed, shocked, shocked, shocked, tested (used most of 2 TF100 kits), washed my filter sand, tried to be patient ..... still had cloudy water. No daily progress. I really think my problem is that awful North Carolina Pine pollen. It was awful this year, and that is when my problems started.
A few weeks ago, I reported that my husband took a sample to a professional dealer to double check my tests, and the owner sold him a bottle of "polysheen" and told him, it would work. I have looked at the bottle, pushed it aside, as I was determined to stick with the program.
Yesterday, I realized that with all my efforts, I was going nowhere - NO improvement. So I looked up the MSDS and found it was very safe to the kids, so I added 6 oz. at 6pm last night. At 6 am, I had crystal clear water for the first time since March. I have to admit, that although I am excited that my beautiful pool has returned, I feel so defeated - as I was so proud that I only had very little additives to my pool, but guys, it just did not clear up - at all. I think I may have been fighting algae when my problem was yellow pollen. I don't know what tomorrow may bring, but today I see progress. I plan to retest this afternoon, and try really hard to get back with the program. Thank you all so very much for your help. I will retest either tonight (I have a meeting tonight) for tomorrow and attempt to get my levels up to par.
