Liquid chlorine from pool store.

I should also note I have no idea how my calcium got so high. 6 months ago it 350.

My pool has been neglected but last week I started getting it back on track. It was green and gross. My pool is about 15,000 gallons and has a pebbletec finish. I use a Taylor K2006 test kit. On 7/18 My initial test showed: FC = 0 PH = 7.6 TA = Forgot to test CH = 1400 CYA = 0 I started To...

:LOL:

I did! It’s a big filter (clean and clear 200) and I’m pretty short. It takes a lot of effort for me to get it out. I pull it out by the top ring and pull it towards me. It’s also on its last leg and kind of “fuzzy”. Waiting for my new one to be delivered. It is just my hands and forearms...

Has anyone ever had a reaction to algae? I pulled my filter to clean it twice in the last week (doing a SLAM) and the the next day I had a very itchy rash on my forearms. The first time there was no chlorine in my pool, the second time it was a 10 so I’m leaning towards the algae rather than...

Thanks for the advice!! I’ll pass it on.

Thanks! It’s a challenge trying to help without seeing it. She did load it up with chlorine since it was starting to smell. Once she drains/refills she will get on track.

I’ve had such a great experience using TFP getting my swamp clear that my aunt decided to jump on the wagon. The first thing she did was order a good kit. She isn’t very internet savvy so that’s why I’m posting. A few notes on her pool: 24,000 gal inground vinyl with a de filter. She lives in...

So when I got home yesterday I checked and my FC was 21.5 (at 1pm). Checked it twice!! I ran the OCLT again last night and had a reading of 18.5 both times. Yay!! My pool is very clear (yep! I can see the screw heads on the main drain!) and now I’m satisfied with my test results. I am done...

OCLT an FC Question- So I think I’m done SLAMing and was prepared to do the OCLT. My FC results: Thursaday at 9pm 22.5. (It was 22 at noon and I added chlorine to bring to 24) Friday (yesterday) at 8:00 am 22.5 CC 0.5 Clear water To me that said done. I didn’t add any chlorine so it could...
