Ok it’s more like shock than slam. If I did have a super expensive test kit I work all day I don’t have all day to take water samples. The stabilizer was at 40 so 16 ppm chlorine was ok. Besides my wife would kill me if I close the pool down for four days

My test kit doesn’t measure 16 ppm of chlorine so it’s hard to do an overnight test. It looked great yesterday chlorine levels were maintaining around 3 - 4 ppm. Rained like crazy while I was at work came home and chlorine was at like 1 And it’s cloudy again. I shocked it again I’m pretty sure...

Hi, Just to be clear I’m not that fixated on the particles. The problem was the water was cloudy and eating chlorine like crazy. Even though I slammed it twice. Seeing all the particles in the light just tipped the scale. Apparently phosphorus eats chlorine. So now the water is clear and I’m not...

I get a lot of Crud in my pool every time my neighbor mowers his lawn and it drives me crazy. I used a product called Pool Perfect Total and cleared it up pretty good. Now to get my chemical levels stabilized and not have to go through this again!

My wife thinks it’s plaster dust. I think I’m going to use a clarifier. I know it’s frowned upon here but I need to do this.

Sorry but it’s really bothering me. If I wanted to get rid of it how would I do it?

Hi, The pool looks great during the day. But when it got dark and I put the lights on you can see thousands of little particles in the water. The total dissolved particles was 4400 this morning. Is this the problem and how do I get rid on it? Test results CL 4 Alk 135 CH 225 Stabilizer 70...

Because it’s not skimming very well. I think I might get a PoolSkim Home - PoolSkim

I’m not quite sure but it’s at its lowest setting of 50%. I’m thinking of getting a little creative with the pump speed. I’m thinking of doing 60 - 65% for an hour or so then 50% for about 3 hours then back to 65% for an hour then back to 50% for 3 or 4 hours.

I rigged a tube in the overflow to lower the water level. Go ahead you can say it, I’m a genius, oh yeah!

How long do you think this will take? Lol
