Excellent! Thx for the link.

polyoxyethylene/ethylene (dimethyliminio) 60%. i thought i bought the polyquad 60 but i guess its the wrong one. I believe i can still use it though for closing.

Moved from here. Hi i want to close my pool with Algaecide 60. i already shocked and now my water is down to 10ppm. Do i need to wait till 5ppm like with Polyquad? Do i need to run the pump for 8/hrs after adding the Algaecide? thx

i think i messed up and did not buy the polyquad but got the Algaecide 60 which i believe i can also use for closing my pool. So with 10ppm FC, PH 7.8, and CC 0.5. Can i put the Algaecide 60 as a preventer and close? Do you think i still need to wait till 5ppm? Should i still run pump for...

Yes i bought the Algaecide 60 which i guess is not the Polyquad? Its telling me to add 10 oz per 10,000 gallons. since i already bought it online i dont really want to return it or buy more shock unless necessary. Thank you for your help.

Hi i wanted to close it this past weekend (2 days ago) but i cant seem to get the chlorine to go lower than 10ppm. I am checking now every day since i did SLAM/shock. I use the Taylor K-2006C and my PH has come down (7.8) but FC is still at 10ppm and maintaining lol. i hope it will reach 3-5ppm...

Great, Thank you. I will check levels again tomorrow as its around 16ppm right now.

Hi all getting ready to close my in ground pool. this is a very helpful thread. i have 3 questions. 1. how low should i let my slam go before i put in the polyquad 60? i saw someone post 3ppm FC? 2. Should i let PH which was raised as i SLAM'ed the pool drift down to 7.6 or lower it with Acid...

Hi All, I am looking to buy or make a lid/locking ring that has an adapter/connector for a cyclone blower. Our pool builder had one when they closed our pool and they basically put this lid that has pvc connector on the clear glass which he can connect directly to his cyclone blower. I have been...

Kabutotx, thank you for the response. My original question was should i shock with a brand new plastered pool. Pool School said i should not shock for 30days. So i think i understand now. I should just get the liquid chlorine and add per Pool Math recommended amounts. Thank you all for the info...

i would also like to add that after adding the chemicals the pools is no longer cloudy. its actually pretty clear. I will post new water readings soon.

Hi, these are the readings i got from Mondays water test at the swim-mor store. FC - 0.09ppm TC - 0.09ppm CC - 0 ppm pH - 8.6 hardness - 81ppm Alkalinity - 62ppm Cyanuric Acid - 2ppm Added the following per builder water analysis report: 7lbs 8oz of Ph Minus 17lbs 1.5oz of Alkalinity plus...

Hello all, This is my first pool and first time posting. i read in Pool School "Start-up Procedures" that for the first 30 days i should not Shock the pool. I have tested my water and my Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine were around 0.09ppm on monday. So far i did as instructed by the builder and...
