Summer is upon us! I know we are all excited to enjoy these pools. Here are my questions: I'm having a problem with my sand filter not filtering out the fine particles. I'd like to hear from someone who has added DE to their sand filter to help with this. What does your filter pressure...

Ok.. Thanks so much. After adding the soda ash or ph up, how long before I test to get a good reading to know where to go from there? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Now I'm confused.. The pool calculator says baking soda to raise Ta. How do I calculate how much soda ash instead? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Happy Easter everyone! I'm working on my pool today which has never been properly balanced. I need help mainly with the order to do things. I need to Slam but can't maintain the FC due to 0 Cya created mainly from flooding here. I have purchased the Cya and will add that today so that my...

It was maybe an hour. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Okay I added bleach according to pool math to bring FC up to 4 but just tested and it's at 3.5. Also, there isn't anywhere close to get stabilizer until Monday. Should I go ahead and raise to slam level now or is there another concern? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I live in Louisiana and we have had serious flooding. Lots of leaves, limbs and other debris went into the pool and I was not able to work on it for days. It took on lots of rain water to the tip top and overflowing.. It also began to turn green and black. Today is the first day I've been...

A leaf net in end of pole and vacuum. If I leave the pool unattended AT ALL then I have leaves going to bottom. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I live in central Louisiana. We typically have a few times of year below freezing mostly over night. I chose to keep pool open throughout winter; however, the leaves are getting the best of me. This morning the pool was crystal clear without a leaf in sight. I went to town and came back and...

I'm so thankful to everyone on this thread. My process took longer because of the tremendous amount of leaves and debris at the bottom that I couldn't see. The more I raked, scooped and vacuumed the more they stirred up and even seemed to multiply! I'd let them settle back and start all over...

I hit a bit of a snag. Pool is looking much better; however, I underestimated the amount I'd leaves and debris in the bottom. Today I scrubbed and vacuumed to waste as much as I could but my vacuum kept clogging completely up. I still cannot see the bottom but I can see shadows. I netted out as...

The shadows that are showing on the pics I have no idea what it is.. I've scrubbed and netted there and nothing.. Im sure there are some at bottom of deep end but I've gotten out as much as I possibly can every day without being able to see. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Wow thank you for sharing that.. Should I still be testing cya? Since starting the slam, I've only checked FC. Sure how I haven't screwed up. Please advise. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Here is the 24 1/2 hour difference. It is definitely changing and is much cloudier now than the pic shows. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

So don't post pics until the end? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
