Stuck on cloudy?

S
Hey there, took my cover off about 2 weeks ago. Was 80% visibility with some leaves on bottom. Outdoor temp jumped and I got busy and within two days the pool was very dark green. Over this past Friday, Sat, Sunday I did a SLAM. Before slamming Ph was 7.8, no stabilizer. I got ph to 7.2, have stabilizer to about 40. Kept FC all weekend anywhere from 15 to 25/30 PPM. Stop shocking Sunday evening. Pool is now stuck at a very cloudy blue, I placed a new cartridge filter in yesterday (Hayward Xstream 1500 system) hoping it would start to clear, still very cloudy. Today I'm at 10-11 FC, 0 combined chlorine. Using Taylor kit/FAS/DPD. I really appreciate any advice!

Unfortunately, I don't know. As far as I know, the only things added during startup were muriatic acid, a small amount of liquid chlorine, and they tossed a few tri-chlor tabs into the skimmer after a few weeks.

If you have your TF-100 test kit, can you do another full test right now and see what's what? Also can you say exactly how you are doing the CH test?

Hmm..... CYA and calcium carbonate look similar. I wonder if he added the wrong one?

Iron stains

We spot treated stains when the pool was empty with citric acid (what the local pool store had), and then power washed. We struggled with chlorine balance for a few days — maybe remnants of the citric acid?

Pool is chemically balanced again, Ty TFP. My understanding is that the metals can be held in the water with sequesterants, and we didn’t want to do that forever. Based on our water bills, draining and refilling the pool was less than $50, which is about a bottle of sequestrant. But we had to add 400 pounds of salt, and bump up CH and alkalinity. Roughly speaking, we spent about $250.

Linked worked great all last year. units are maybe 100 feet apart based on a quick walk off. Does that sound excessive?

Depends if some other 900 mhz devices appeared in your area and are causing interference.

I can take one of my Eeros out and plug it in out by the box. Is ethernet plug exposed or inside the screwed on cover? don't see it inside the main panel door.

Ethernet jack is on the middle of the main PCB behind the top flip out panel.

Pump Basket has air trapped - most of the time.

I'm going through the same issue - turns out mine is two defective valves. One massive, so easy to find. But the other was a VERY tiny hairline crack, but no water leak. Under full speed all is fine, but under reduced, the pot and filter slowly fill with air. With system off, filter drains itself. Waiting on the brown truck for the parts now...

Installing 24ft rectangular Intex on concrete pad

Congratulations on your new pool build. And good question.
Please give more information about the size and type of pool you're putting up. That way AGP experts can give good advice.
My 2 cents: when we installed our pool, it required the top of the pavers to be level with the ground (of which they are actually recessed) and plates under the uprights sat on top of the pavers. The wall track connects to the leg plate so it has to be at the same ground level as the legs.
Hope this gets you started. :)
