Well, I haven't had a problem with it again. Just that one time. Weird.

How accurate is the pool store's metal test? I took a sample in just to test, to see if there are metals present. They said no metals. I just added some bleach 30 minutes ago and the water didn't turn green again. It took until mid day today for it to turn back blue from when it turned green...

Ok, so my husband got impatient with this process. After I told him, it just takes time and we have to be patient. He flocked twice. Yes it did work but made more work for me. Anyway, the pool has been sitting without being turned on for awhile, because I had to wait for him to fix the oring on...

It does have the multiport on top. It's barely dripping now so hopefully most of it is out. We'll see tomorrow. Thanks!

I don't think this filter has an air release valve. It's a Hayward S-244T.

I do have a caps for the jets. I didn't think about that. Does the water normally just trickle out of the filter? I know it's not going to be gushing out but it's barely coming out.

The filter is placed some what down hill but it does look higher than the water level. Thank y'all! The only cut off I see is one that is on the plumbing coming from the solar panels. That is completely turned off though. I'm guess the worst that could happen is, if water did come back in, once...

Went and turned on the filter a little bit ago and as I was walking away, I heard air and then water started spewing out of the filter where the clamp is. Called my husband and he said probably the oring and there is no telling when the owners of the house last changed it. I watched a video on...

Yes, I know it needs to stay above and right now shock level should still be at 10 according to the chart. I'm waiting until the CYA will register before I add more stabilizer. I couldn't make it to the store this evening for more bleach due to a very sick child. I'm sure FC has been a 0 not too...

I added another 3 pounds. I guess I was shocked at the rapid decrease because it hadn't dropped that much in an hour with it being sunny over the weekend. It got down to 5 Saturday evening but that was a whole day's worth of sun. Now it's at 2, few hours after I added more to bring it to 10. I...

Yesterday when I got back in town, I tested the water and FC was a 5. Well, my husband has been using cal hypo because he didn't want to buy bleach over the weekend. I decided to just use up the rest. Added the recommended amount last night. Before I went to bed, FC was 10.5. Well, this morning...

Ok. Thanks. He isn't going so I'll do my best to make sure he knows what to do.

I have another question. I have to go out of town for the weekend. Started the SLAM process today. My husband may stay here or may go. If he stays, he will be gone all day and won't be home until between 8:30pm-10pm. How much chlorine should he add in the morning before going to work since it...

Thank you!

Figured pool to be 26,700 gallons. How do I know how much a pound of stabilzer adds? In pool math can I just put in 0 for now and target of 30 and then take away a pound to know how much I need now? Not trying to get ahead of myself but would I start the SLAM process today or no? Lisa said keep...
