Jen you want your FC to drift down to 5-6 then add bleach to bump back to FC 6-8 and repeat (maintain). Pool stores want you to shock the heck out if your pool and let it drift down to whatever (you never really know because of substandard test strips they sell). You have to abandon all info...

Jen I am still a very novice on all of this pool chemistry stuff, but I have been following your thread since day one. Your doing great. Your pool is clear and CC 0. Your very close to whipping your pool back into shape. Best of all you did it by yourself! ( With some great advice from the Pros...

Yes very trouble free. :cool: The only issue I have is it is hard not to laugh when a friend curses his pool. I am blessed I did plenty of research before starting this pool and found this wonderful resource called TFP. I try to tell my pool owning friends about it but they just ignore me...

I was starting to build my deck on the pool we had installed this year and while I was enjoying a cold libation and pondering the deck I wondered do I have this pool maintenance figured out. So here i am to ask the pros. FC 3 CC 0 PH 7.8 CYA 27ish ;) TA 140 CH 250 Correct me if I'm wrong...

26" eco Kleer sand filter with zeosand 1.5 hp eco kleer pump. The dust goes away when I get close to it. I am working my TA down with aeration. I feel that the pump is oversized. It feels like a jet ski coming out of the return. Clean pressure is 14 I backwash at 17. I have a slime bag that...

If I have to open up the filter to check the latterals should I remove the zeosand and replace it with pool sand. I am growing tired of vaccing the dust to have it back in the morning. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Also how often should I check my CYA. Is once a week often enough? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

OK so I've been reading a lot on zeosand. Is this the dust that people complain about? The pic has some glare on the water but it is crystal clear. I have been battling this dust since the pool was installed. I vac it to just have it return. What do you think? FC 5 CC 0 CYA 28 TA 190 PH 7.9 I...

All my friends that have pools told me to take the setup in for winter. I don't know I'll m still new to this. The base was so flimsy there is no way it would have lasted more than a year. It's mounted to the skid. It much more stable and the pump is quieter now that's is mounted secure...

I was thinking of screening the next backwash. If more is caught in the screening then I get an exciting trip into the filter to check the latterals. I'm not afraid to open it up. I just sent want to waste my time. Do you think that sounds like a good idea? I feel like this filter has been more...

This is a pic of my setup now. I think it's going to work well. I pulled theses pieces out of the return. It's a darkbuster and will not let these pieces pass thru. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Is this zeosand? I had a pool installed in early may. We had the company do everything. This may be my fault if it is. The stupid base in the pump filter setup was so cheap and noisy. It had cute push pins holding the pump to the base. What a joke. I built a base so that I can pick it up with...

Great. I was wondering about that. I also caught my 2yr old crumb cruncher throwing dirt clods over the pool wall last week. That's gotta stop but he was so proud of himself. [emoji30]
