There where no specks of anything on floor when i stopped slam, I vacuumed twice a day once in morning and a hr or two before sunset to add more chlorine as sun was setting, no longer on pool behind trees checked chlorine level 30 min or so after dark then within 15 min of sun starting to rise...

I have had problems with something on bottom that was like fine powder or dirt/silt. Kept vacuuming out only to return, I recently changed sand (checked laterals) & about week later still getting so decided to SLAM. Week 1 Slammed Monday evening through Friday Morning, CYA 45 so FC @ 18 checked...

I ran my tests last night, not all so did all today. They are as follows (havent had salt tested) FC 3.5 CC .05 TC 4 CH200 TA 80 CYA 45 Going to add a few lbs of Baking soda for TA, water still sticky somewhat. I have a post on dirt on bottom but since I started using nylons on both skimmer...

Quick update, I just changed nylon on return that was ripped & there seemed like more sandy pebbles in end of stocking ( I guess zeobrite than debri which it had just a bit, so how could this be returning back through return, would a spider gasket do this? It does it on filter & recirculate...

I may have somewhat figured out my issue with dirt look in bottom. I have been using nylons for the skimmer & the return seems to be stopping 99% of stuff on bottom the problem is the nylons rip through about half a day to a day so i need to find something more suitable for my return. I have...

Thanks, just received my tf-100 kit the other day going to check all later.

As the title says, UPS delivered my kit today & left out in direct sunlight & 100 degree heat for approx 4 hrs. When i opened package all bottles were warm, not scorching but pretty warm. Is my test kit Damaged due to this? There is nothing on outside of box about warning of leaving in Direct...

Thanks for the help adding shock tonight

If i have metal top side rails on my pool would that rule out me being able to use a SWG?

Thanks ordered the TF-100 test kit with speedster so guess i will wait a day or 2 before i would do this anyway.

Bought both about an hr ago, have no idea expected delivery date. I live in Mo. so wouldn't expect too long, should i wait a day or so to Super chlorinate to try & get rid of what i have?

I looked on their site & found, is the speedster something that is used often & could come in handy?

Can you suggest a sufficient test kit & is digital Better, i posted in this forum about Brown sediment in my pool I can't seem to get rid of, No replies as of yet.
