Just an update on my cloudy water problem... by using shocking process, and adding clarifier 2-3 times, my water had finally cleared. it took me 3 weeks, but lesson's learn... don't believe all the pool dealer say ! thank you all for your help.

I think then, we can buy from piscines apollo... they sell it for $123.00 (taylor 2006) but I am sure we pay a lot more than U.S costomers... thanks for the infos

I don't have good test kit, because I am living in Canada, and other than getting screw up my dealers here in Canada, I will have a friend from USA bringing me a kit, but it may takes a few weeks. I have shock again the pool 2 hours ago witk 800 grammes of 65% granule chlorine. here's the test...

an update with my milky or cloudy water... still the same. I shock the pool 24 hours ago. I tested water, and looks like FC is close to zero, TC is 10 (way too high) and CYA also close to zero... the TA & TH are normal.Now after reading scool pool, well the more I read the more I get confuse...

That's exactly what was going through my mind, after my last post. not easy when your "dummy" as I am, in pool manntenance field. I try to analyze all the tips I get, and I must confess,sometimes it's very confusing. btw. after I purchased the flox bottle, and listening to her advise ( yes it...

I just tried the "floks" treatment, and seewhat happen... instructions says after pourring the flocks, run filter at recycling for 6 hours, then filtering for 24 hours, and then vacuum the pool at waste position (which will cause my water level to drop several inches...) So my problem is, I've...

That's what I did, for the last few days... pump run 10 hours, and off 14 hours. no change in my water. I raised the water level, and checked skimmer cover o-ring and quick connections,re-tighten all hose collets, and I feel like it's ok, but if it suck air somewhere, it would be underground...

ok, I made the sock test, and no sand at all... I have some info to mention, first, I noticed white debrits on my brush when rubbing the bottom, and by looking carefuly at my return, I think I may have "air" in my suction side line. I see a "white fume" shot every 5-10 seconds, coming out of the...

I like the socks method, in fact, I should have thought of it myself... I will sure try it, and let you know. Now, to answer John's questions... no, I don't have the actual levels of the water test unfortunately. I will try to buy a reliable test kit for sure. I must mention that my walls are...

Thank you for your replies. ok, to answer the question, no my water never been clear so far this season. right after ice melted, last month, I had green botom, but water was clear, but when I started working on it,of course within a few second of vacuuming the pool, it went all green, then I...

is there a sure way, to have a 100% ^positive answer, the "milky" water I have in my pool is sand returning in pool from my filter ? I think if it sand indeed, if I stop the pump for a few hours, sand (if tha's the case) should go down on the bottom ??? any other way to check for sure ? the...

Hi, I have a 12' round pool,and my sand filter since 2010, beginning with new sand of course. I have cloudy water (milky look) So I bring water sample to pool dealer for testing, and they told me my water was "perfect" !!! So I said, wait a minute, I can't see more than a feet deep in my pool...

Hi there, I have a sand filter who have only 5 positions (filter-winter-recycl.-back wash-waste) I want to know if I'am correct when doing back wash... After I run back wash for 2-3 minutes, I switch to "waste" mode for 30 seconds, before returning to filter... Am I correct doing that ? Should...

Thank you Jason lion... I forgot to ask another simple question... what is the max. pressure on filter's dial indicator, before doing a back wash ??? I have in mind 15 PSI ????? thanks again
