When I slammed my pool 2 months ago the help here was great. This time lol for the most part a bunch of know it all's as I am too. Thanks for no one answering ... is the copper in preventative algaecide dangerous? Shut me down or whatever. I'm done here today tonight and for a while. Have a...

As I said there is a lot more to my background story than I have written here. The hint I'll leave I vacation rented my property for a period of time over the past three years. The so called pool guy was an idiot. He drove my CYA over 100. You know what happens then don't you.

You sir have a problem. Your quote way back (IS it dangerous in some way to my and others health?) I asked why is it frowned upon here to use Copper Algae "Preventitive" I asked is it risky to one health. I use it according to the manufacturer. I maintain my pool with liquid chlorine nothing...

My pool always sparkles except when I got sick this winter and I lost it for the first time in over 10 years. It took 3.5 weeks to turn the pool back to what it once was using the "slam" method. I can say this and others said it a while ago, I should have emptied my pool and started over. My...

Yes I have been using the suggested test kit here for over 10 years. If you use chlorine that strong you'll destroy very quickly solar blankets. There's more I can say but I can see that no one wants to answer why the copper once or twice a year might be bad. Rather you want to be the expert...

Oh what do you keep your chlorine level at? And at this time of the year I'm still using my solar blanket which the manufacturer says keep your chlorine below 3

Read what I posted not what you think I said

Read my extended answer.

I might have worded my post wrong. Lol I use liquid chlorine the 10%+ version at my pool/ hardware store. Currently about a quart a day of chlorine for my 15,000 gallons keeps me at the correct level 1.5-3. My CYA is 40, the ph 7.4 everyday. Total alkalinity 100 My calcium in an Intex vinyl...

My pool is 15,000 gallons I put in as directed, 24 ounces one time until the 3 months are gone by. That's it. I use the liquid chlorine method of maintaining my pool. So I try to keep my strength at around a 2 - 3 on the lil chlorine/ph gauge. It's good for at least 3-4 months. At least the one...

For the past at least 10 years I have used a 90 day algaecide in my pool in the North Fl summer months. This past winter because of health issues I lost my pool for the first time ... Green/black a mud pit. Anyway all fixed for the past month but Ive not had the sparkly water Ive had all my pool...

Is there a clarifier I can use that y'all agree is OK?

I don't think so ... When I back wash it all comes out in the wash. Then I put a cup in of slurry. And it goes over time from 8 pounds to 14-15 until I backwash

This is where I'm at. Right now before a rain storm. I've got about $140 into the recovery now. I'm of the stubborn variety. I hate losing, this is the first time I've ever lost a pool. I found TFP at least ten years ago. I swear by it. This 16x32 is 5 years old never had any problems before. I...
