I can not think you enough!!!!! :party: :goodjob: :cheers:

Correct! Sock is empty as of this morning and I removed it :) Got it! Target 7 and min 3!!!!!! So much easier with metal free water, lol! YEAH! :)

Morning results. FC - I bumped it up to 6 before bed last night. This morning it is a 5 CYA is holding at 40 PH is between 7.2-7.4 Think I have it??? Do you agree?

Hehehehe, I squeezed it a bit ago, amazing how much comes out when you squeeze!!! Think Im getting this!!! WOOT!

Used the Pool Calc. It said to add 20 oz of Muratic Acid with the strentgh of liquid acid I have. I just added it in front of the water return slowly and will wait a bit a retest. I just tested before adding the acid everything was the same as this morning (well the last test)except FC...

If you reccomend to add Acid to lower the PH and in turn the ALK at the same time - can I add the Acid the same time the CYA sock is hanging? Do I leave the filter running during the add of Acid? How long after the Acid is added to I retest? I assume the Acid will lower the FC and CYA (assume)...

Pool water was just filled!!!! So nice to see clear blue sparkly water! I just tested. CL was .05 - I used the pool cal. and added 56 oz of bleach. PH tests about 7.8 which is a bit high, should I acid or leave it alone? CYA is running about 30 I added 6.1 oz of CYA in a sock and hung. ALK is...

Got it :) After you posted the answer to the PH question, I shook my head at myself, I new that answer already! :/ I do beleive I think I know what to do and how to :) Come Sunday I will post pics, testing results and excited to share and hope it is a beautiful blue and clear!!!

Adjusting the PH I should use Borax, am I correct? To figure how much CYA I need to use the pool calc. correct? 1 bottle of Metal Out after it is first filled will take care of all fill water added? Or should I add Metal Out each time we add fill water? Talk to me like I dont know what I'm...

Thank you Dave for fixing my pics - not sure what I did wrong for them not to show up, Thank you :) Sig all fixed :) I beleive! After much thought about out well water and green/metal filled pool tonight we made the decision to drain it. It is draining now - almost a bitter sweet for me, I...

Didnt get a pic of day 1 This is day 2: I could seem some of the bottom but barely: This is Day 3: The pictures looks worse than it was. I could see the bottom all the way across the pool up the far side wall about 1/2 way. Today Day 4: Again picture looks more green than it is :/, hate...

testing my sig - is this all I need in there?

CYA is being done today :) I read many many posts on this board last night, read through every help section/chart there is and finally think I understand it all, I am sure there will be more quetsions arise. But with out a doubt CL dropped again this morning :) just as expected with CYA not in...

I havent gotten CYA added yet. It is going but a slow process, think I am getting the hang of it. Using plain bleach today has done wonders with out a doubt, love this tip!!! ALK is still through the roof, but realized Im just dont going to worry about that! PH is on the way up and CL is...

As of about 2 pm est today - After adding 1/2 gallon of bleach and 1/2 bag of shock this morning: CL 4, CYA about 60, PH is running about 7.0-7.2 (no borax added yet, just bought some just dont know how much to add) )the ph is rising with doing the arerating with the out flow water), ALK still...
