Will stabilizer dissolve in a sock in front of a jet in that cold of temperature?

Hey just got the winter cover off our pool. Water is 44f and no plans on turning on the heater until our forecast looks promising. We started the pump and are currently vacuuming the pool. I would love to get my pool in tip top shape so when Mother Nature “smartens up,” all I have to do is turn...

I don’t think it was my fill water. But we did slam and scrub the tanks cleans. My pool has been good since this post. I added algaecide for insurance purposes in case my chlorine does dip too low. So far so good.

I get that it’ll be bleach I use. Just going to be a pain in the Rear since my access hole isn’t very large. Getting the sediment sucked off the bottom might be fun too.

We are 15 minutes out of the city. There’s not enough pressure just to have “regular” system so we have two 300 gallon tanks in our basement that fill slowly from a drip system.

So bucket test results. Did with the hose from the house started at 3.5 ppm fc, 2 hours later 1.5 fc did straight from hose bib without hose to see if it was in the hose. 4.5 ppm fc, 2 hours later 2.5 fc. Looks like it’s my water tanks. There’s some orangeish sediment at the bottom of the...

We live on an acreage, have city water on a drip system to holding tanks in our basement. The water clears up when I reach slam levels, hence why I think it’s algae. And also the skimmer socks turn brown as well during this. I’ve got the bucket test going as you suggested.

Looks like there is ammonia added. I never had this problem last year, that’s why I stumped. It’s a new thing this season.

Oops double replied 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was at 8.5 ppm June 24th at 6pm 7.5 ppm June 25 at 1 pm right there is an OCLT that passed I’m totally stumped, my water is city drinking water. Could I have a hose problem? Algae in my garden hose?

As soon as I tested 4.5 ppm, I added 3.5l litres of bleach which is just shy of adding 5 ppm. So that would take it up to 9ish. At that point I said eff this and started my slam right away. But I’ve had to do this every time with topping up water. My chlorine was 8.5 when I started adding the...

I had 8.5 ppm of chlorine when I started to top up

This is the 3rd time I’ve topped up this year, and I’ve had to slam after each time.

Before adding fill water fc 8.5 Ta 110 Cya 50 Ph 7.4 after adding water and testing 2 hours later Fc 6.5 Ta 110 Cya 50 Ph 7.4 Added 1.5 litres of bleach which adds 2ppm, so Fc 8.5 before bed NOON next day Fc 4.5 Ta 110 Cya 50 Ph 7.4
