    Testing after closing

    I'm confused about pH. I thought if your FC was high, that reading on pH would be inaccurate.

    Testing after closing

    Thanks. My water was right at perfect when freeze came. I went to Dollar General and bought "cleaning" bleach - 6%, making sure it was manufactured in the last 2 months.

    Advice on draining a 12x30in Intex pool that has turned green

    I have used my intex vacuum hose attached to a shorter regular hose to drain with sand filter pump. The vac hose is clamped to the "B" adapter with a regular hose clamp. The b adapter screws onto regular hose. Pics won't have vac hose because it's still in tote outside. Lol

    My CYA sock busted [emoji31]

    Just as I was tying the sock with 51 oz of CYA to the skimmer, it BUSTED! More than half went into skimmer basket and, of course, into sand filter. Pressure bottomed out. Shut it off, took all the hoses off and the pump -- rinsed them as well as I could; backwashed sand and rinsed. Pressure...
