Hello all. I'm new to TFP and fairly new to pool ownership. We actually installed our 18x36 Vinyl salt water pool last July.
Currently, my pool water is Crystal clear but I have this brown looking sediment in the creases and along the seam lines. Not really knowing any better I took a water sample to my local pool supply store and they advised me to pour 5 lbs of shock in the deep end of the pool and brush. I did this and ran my robotic cleaner daily for a full week. The brown sediment will cloud up and disappiate when brushed but seems to settle back close to the same areas.
I researched the TFP site today and just ordered the recommended Taylor test kit. I'm not sure that I understand the slam process yet but plan to make a go of it once I receive my test kit. I will probably rely heavily on you guys recommendations and guidance to hopefully get rid of this. I'm really stressing about it right now because I really don't know much about proper pool maintenance but want my pool to look nice and clean. If anyone can offer any advice, I sure would appreciate it.
My pool is a vinyl 18x36 SWG, approx 24,500 gallons. I tried to list all my information in the signature but it wouldn't allow me to do it on my phone.
