    Cloudy water but stumped

    Cloudy water but stumped

    I agree on the pool advice. Normally I just send people to TFP and let them figure it out. It is a 10x26’ above ground. 42” deep. So about 13,000 gallons. He has ordered a K-2006 kit just like I have and is waiting for it to arrive. Luckily he lives right around the corner for me so I was...

    Looking for guidance here! I’ve been on the TFP method for 2 years with my pool and it has been flawless other than fighting with pollen or something settling and making me think I had something else. But loving it and has made me love the pool again. Fast forward to yesterday. Friend called...

    Identification help? Algae or no?

    About to start my first SLAM. Are my levels ok to start?

    Unlikely to drain and refill. Not in a timely fashion anyway. I knew going in that my CYA was high so stopped and picked up my first 16 gallons of liquid chlorine today. Luckily menards has 4 gallon cases dor $15.96. Plus 11% rebate of course. So I’m prepared to put in LOTs and LOTS of...

    About to start my first SLAM. Are my levels ok to start?

    FC - 5.4 CC - .4 pH - 7.5 TA - 110 CH - 195 CyA - 80 Temp was 91 degrees. Pool is a light green ish color and I know I’ve got an algae problem so I’m attacking it with a slam but wanted to make sure I don’t need to adjust any other levels before adding the liquid chlorine! Thanks in advance!
