Well I did manage to clear up the water finally. With the Intex pump/filter. I just started leaving everything off all night every night and running the aqua critter vacuum all day every day and after about 5 days, it seems to be clear. I think you really wouldn't need the aqua critter if...

When you are filling your pool, get a LOT of garden hose, and make sure that the hose is in full sunlight, fill awhile, let it all sit awhile, the hose will heat up the water. In a pinch, you can also use the hot water faucet behind your washing machine. A garden hose will fit right on it...

I still have cloudy water, Intex Pool, I kept the pool at shock level for a few days, have kept it at or above 5ppm since, PH has been in range, ALK is 100, CYA is down to 20 because I drained about 1/3 of the water trying to get rid of some of the cloudy water. I have tried leaving the pump...

In an attempt to lower TA a little, I have dropped the PH with dry acid, and have been aerating like crazy, but the PH is not coming back up. How long does this usually take?

LOL Maybe someone just woke up at the wrong house and got confused...

I am not sure that it is scale, it could just be kind of a reaction thing with the paint on the ladder? This water seems almost soapy, bubbles last a long time on the top of the water. The numbers as of a few minutes ago are FC 10 CC 0 TA 110 PH 7.2 CH 130 I tried the calculator, and came...

I have kept it at shock level, it's held two nights in a row overnight, it wasn't a pretty sight, but I managed to get out there early and check it, so I am letting it drop some now, probably just back to the 6ppm. It's still very cloudy though, doesn't seem to be clearing. I am running the...

"It's best to stop this low pH nonsense today, for the sake of my heater, my plaster and my previously fair skinned, blonde haired now red skinned, no haired children!" I hope you have learned your lesson, ALWAYS ALWAYS test the pool water with the mean children in the neighborhood FIRST ;)

Thank you:) CH is only 130. I guess I should not use clarifier? I have the intex pump with the paper filter. Also, would swimming be out of the question with the FC this high with this CYA level?

I understand why I got the cloudy water, I let the FC slip too low in the heat of the day for a few afternoons, I have a CYA of 30-40 so I am currently holding the FC at 15ppm, have had it there for about 24 hours now, I think it held overnight, I am not a real early bird, checked it about 9 and...

Long story short, I let the FC drop below the minimun level a few days this week in the heat of the day and I have cloudy water. I have brought the FC up to Shock level after dark tonight: FC 15ppm CC 0 TA 110 PH 7.4 CYA 30-40 ppm Talyor drop test kit, with powder for the FC...

Water started getting cloudy yesterday, it had dropped below 3pp every evening for a few days, I went to get more bleach to shock, while I was gone, the neighbors took a dip, returned still had 2.5ppm FC with .5ppm CC, shocked last night to 10ppm, not realizing that it needed to be 15ppm for...

Here are my numbers FC 21 CC 0 TA 110 PH 7.4 CYA 30-40 Water got below 3ppm a couple of days in a row, and was cloudy yesterday, the neighbors took a dip while I was off to buy more bleach, got home to 2.5 FC and .5 CC, so I shocked to 10ppm last night, I was thinking this was the right...
