I was playing with Effects of Adding I suspect the "6%" Bleach I'm using isn't really 6%, it states 6% on the box of 6, and on each bottle, the date is good, less than month old. But anyway, back to my question... When you use ANY % of chlorine less than 6%, in with amount set at 1 Gallon, it...

Makes perfect sense! Im straddling the the thin green line! And, I may look into a swg! THANKS

Thanks for the response I always add chlorine to get it back to Target FC per Pool Math recommended Ideal Range I am getting it back to 5~6 each night. Right now It's going down to 2.5 (latest test), in ~24 hrs, haven't tested today. BTW: Does anyone else HATE the Chlorine Test Color and...

Thanks for the response, and putting my mind at ease!

First Shout Out to TFP!!!! Been doing TFP for 3 years, since pool turned GREEN after pump died! 😩 Replaced Pump, Drained 1/2 of water out to get CYA down and Cooper out of pool, then SLAMED, it took 7 days, Pool has been CRYSTAL CLEAR for 3 Years!! 😁 The last 3 weeks we have been getting lots...

I don't have warranties to worry about, all equipment 8 years old. Just trying to find out what the appropriate level for CH actually is with a vinyl liner. I know the local pool store, that I used previously, always keep it between 150 and 200 using a Taylor test kit. She also had me add it...

Sorry to disappoint but I did read in a forum post, on this site, to NEVER ADD Calcium to a vinyl pool, in response to a question about adding Calcium, go figure. I tried to find the post, but haven't yet, when I do I will post it for you. Now it could have been someone that didn't know what...

I'm still confused, this exactly what I was talking about. LOL

Long due update! Pool has stayed perfect since I and got rid of the algae. Left pool open the during the winter, no issues, it did freeze, before I could drain everything, cold streak hit all of a sudden. Took all plugs out and let the pump and filter drain as it warmed back up. Ended up with...

I have searched and not found an exact answer to my question. I know for vinyl pool the TFP recommended CH is between 0-350. I have also read on here that you never need to worry about low CH in a vinyl pool only too high, AND TO NEVER ADD CALCIUM. The biggest issue I have is why such a HUGE...

Well I think pump is ok. Water was standing in the pump basket, removed drain plug and water drained out. Removed sand filter drain plug, no water come out. Flex houses are pretty stiff, but heard crackling when I moved them. Filter valve is frozen, won't even disengage. Hopefully thats enough...

Hoping the flex hoses will help relieve some of the pressure from the ice. Yes I do have vales on both sides of the pump/filter. May just leave the valves open, and remove the drain plugs from the pump and filter. I don't mind having to add water back, if it saves the pump. Just checked the...
