Yes, they said only go off of the TC reading as the FC will be a false reading. It has only been about 20 days so far, and luckily the color of the water has remained blue, just cloudy. Jacks recommended to bring the pH down from my 7.6 to 7.2-7.4 so the chlorine that is in there is more...

I do have a heat pump now, but that was just installed last year and the copper/stain issues were there prior to that. I do think maybe 4+ years ago, some yellow out was put into the pool for mustard algae, before I came across the forum here. I just got off the phone with Jack's and they said...

Thanks for your reply. There was copper in the water which was lowered down to .2 with the last test. I have not had it retested since adding a culator metal remover. My understanding from Jack's was the the blue and magenta stuff would sequester it, take it to the filter, and help remove them...

Anyone have any ideas? Please and thank you!

Hi All- this year I finally tried the Jack's Magic stain program, which included their stain solution 1 and 2. It took much longer than expected, worked somewhat, but certainly did not remove everything I was hoping for. As part of their program, my final step I needed to drop FC to below 1ppm...

Started the process of my first slam yesterday. Just completed my OCLT and I was surprised to see I did not lose much at all for only 1 day and the water looks pretty good (although it was already rather clear beforehand). Could this be possible, or am I screwing something up? OCLT: 1.5 FC...

Here are my test results: FC- 3.5 CC- 0.0 PH- either 7.2 or 7.4 TA- 90 CYA- 30 CH- this one is tough. It is coming up as 1000, but I don’t have any clouding or scaling that I can see so I’m not sure if something is off. I tried the test twice and both times came back with that result. 40 drops...

Thanks, that is good to hear. I will post my test results later today if the rain holds off, but the water is pretty clear as of now. I also have a solar cover I can put on prior to leaving to help prevent burn off from the sun and evaporation.

So right now I’m not traveling at all so I have the time to devote to the process, but I may start traveling again in July. When I travel, I usually leave Monday morning and return sometime that Friday and that’s usually about twice per month.

Thanks, I did fill out my signature so I’m not sure why it isn’t showing 🤷‍♂️. I just checked my profile and it does show my signature. It is a 22k gallon IG plaster pool with a pentair 3/4hp pump and a Hayward DE filter. I did a test run of some of the test yesterday just for a little practice...

Hi All, been following and reading a lot over the last 4 years here, but have decided to sign up and take things more seriously. I had read thoroughly the pool school and slam technique then ordered a TF100 which was just received today. In the past I have just been using 73% cal-hypo and...
