Good suggestions! I soaked them in some bleach water last night, and I’ll use some vinegar water before I reinstall them. Thanks guys!

Thank you!

Haha, it’s been a disaster! I’ll add the bleach to the water right now. But a little bit of suds won’t ruin anything? I don’t have to throw my filters away? That would be a big relief!

First year taking care of our pool and I just made a boneheaded mistake. I tried to follow the instructions on the site to use dish detergent to clean my cartridge filters, but I didn’t know the difference between dish soap and detergent and I used six cups of Ajax liquid dish soap. I know the...

Thanks I will donate! I already subscribed to the app as well. My question about cartridge filter cleaning was answered in another forum post I found here. Thanks again!

I wanted to let y’all know I added stabilizer to 30 ppm, slammed it, passed all three tests and am now adding stabilizer to get to 70. The water is looking perfect, I added a before and after. Couldn’t have done it without y’all, thank you! I do have a question about cleaning my filter, but I’m...

Sorry that took a minute, I brushed the whole pool and tested again, got 11.5 ppm (23 drops). Should I move on to adding stabilizer to 30 and slamming? Thanks Kim! I feel bad being new to a forum and peppering people with questions! Pools definitely do not come with a manual... haha

Hey y’all, I think I’ve got the ammonia whipped today. After adding chlorine, my 15 min test was at 5.5 ppm FC and .5 ppm CC. I’m not super confident because I rechecked the levels twice more because I’m new to testing and got significantly higher numbers each time. I got 11.5 ppm FC and then...

I added a signature, hope that helps! So do I need to have A LOT of chlorine on hand and add every 15 minutes until it gets to 5 ppm? Or can I add some today, some tomorrow and do it that way? It’s rained me out today, so I haven’t been able to add chlorine yet.

Thank you!

Thanks for the help! One more question, you said to turn my swg on? I’m not sure mine is ever off? I have a Jandy pro series 1400, would I turn it off by setting the output to 0%?
