Re: TF100 Arrived!!!! help!
Brought pool to shock value Saturday after noon (20ppm) It did get to about 23 ppm for awhile. Lost 4 ppm overnight. Shocked all day yesterday, still cloudy, but greenish hue in deep end seems to be not so green this morning. Lost 4 ppms overnight again.
1. Is this slow of a process normal?
2. I've read one can add DE to a sand filter to help get the fine particles, can I do this even if I have Zeobrite in the filter? Should I do that?
3. Husband is getting antsy and wants to add a Floc and turn the pump off, bad idea?
4. How do I figure out how much bleach to add to bring up each ppm? Like if I only want to add 1 or 2 ppms, how do I know how much to measure? Also am I supposed to be adding it through out the entire pool or just near the skimmer?
5. Should I be vacuuming to waste? there is beige stuff alll over the bottom of the shallow. After a few minutes of vaccuuming it it starts to shoot out of the jets. Also I can not see the deep end so I'm vacuuming blind basically, who knows what is looks like down there......
6. With the leak in the underground water pipe, am I just wasting my time? The previous owners did have it clear with the leak last summer and it was clear when we opened her up this spring. Husband will fix it as soon as he can.
Ugh. Getting so frusterated and I am afraid that the pool is just never going to get better.
