Thank you so much for all the info in advance. I have searched for days and cannot find an answer about how to re-set these pavers.
We were setting up a 24' steel wall pool where our previous 30' pool was.
My husband assumed the ground was still level, he did use a line level to check, he is using the same old pavers which performed well (15 years, with the old pool).
The 30' had a ton of rust, so we had to start over. being in our 60's, we decided a smaller pool would be easier to maintain.
I am afraid he did not understand the set up and this is where we are: see the picture.
Level pavers on top of level ground. The bottom track is floating.
We do live in AL, the ground is hard clay.
Does the whole pool need to be dissassembled and moved off the pavers to sink them?
Can the whole pool be moved?
Can the pavers be "lowered" one at a time?
The bottom rail is floating at this point.
What would be the best solution?

As my title indicates, I'm feeling a bit desperate about my pool chemistry so I'll apologize in advance if I'm not following all of the forum protocols!

This is our second season with our Hayward saltwater pool, located down on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Last year, I had not a single problem with the pool chemistry, but so far this year, not so much. I'm really struggling. And the timing couldn't be worse as our daughter and her family arrive tomorrow for a week's visit.

Here's the full story:

A few weeks ago, our chlorinator was inadvertently turned off for a relatively short period, but I guess long enough so that our chlorine level was super low (practically non-existent). That was the start of our problems. I super-chlorinated for a bit, read some stuff online that scared me, so I stopped that, but still somehow managed to raise the level to what I thought was acceptable, and I thought I'd gotten ahead of the problem. However, continued testing showed that the level of chlorine dropped way down again.

I did a little more online research (wish I'd found this place sooner) and decided we should shock the pool, something we'd never done before. We shocked it - and then the chlorine level was super high! So we added water, ran the pump and the jets non-stop, and turned our chlorinator down to 10%. OK - that got our chlorine level just exactly right and I wanted to keep it that way.

Did I make a mistake by then adding stabilizer to the pool? That's something we never did once last season either, but I thought that adding it would preserve the chlorine level where it was. I also had my chlorinator set to 65% (which is what we ran it at last summer and what our pool installer told us to do at the time.) And yes, of course our installer is no help at all, even though they said they would always be!!!

This morning, the chlorine level was off the charts high!! I'm so frustrated.

Right now, we've got the chlorinator at 7%, we've added some water, and I've got the jets going. Is there anything else I can do to bring the chlorine down quickly?

NOTE: I'm using a test kit where you add drops to see readings.

SECOND NOTE: I would gladly pay someone to take care of my pool chemistry, but that doesn't seem to be a thing down here!

Does anyone want to take pity on me and offer some advice?
