The water passed all the requirements listed in SLAM section. Kids are enjoying the pool. Thanks to everyone's for support and helpful comments!

Thank you for your comments. Friday 7PM - FC held up since morning - FC=8, CC=0 Added 1 3/4 gallons of liquid chlorine to get to 16 per formula. 10PM, 11Pm - FC still around 16. Sat 7AM - FC dropped to 12. Added 3/4 gallon. Will keep checking. Really hoping this will be completed soon.

Thanks. I did order Tf-100; should get it in 2-3 days or so. I have two stores nearby and was getting very similar reading/recommendations. Here are the photos of #2 and #3 in my orriginal post. Red lines are mine to highlight the spots. Black ones - dots and lines: Steps Steps re-sized...

Hello, New pool owner here. Added a pool this Spring (2010). Lots of work, but kids are happy, hence don't mind the sweat. I'm worried about making a mistake and dealing with issues. Very little help from the pool builder. This is my first post and, from what I have read, I know I'm likely to...
