I tested last night at 6pm. It was 9.5ppm. My son and I then got in the pool and swam for almost 2.5 hours. I did not add chlorine. Checked at 9am this morning and was 8ppm. 0.5ppm CC. That's a passed OCLT to me. This Thursday marks 6 weeks of 24/7 sand filtering. I'm afraid I'm going to burn...

The water cloudy. The tests all come back balanced- but the water is still cloudy. When I backwash, I have cloudy water in the siteglass, so I'm almost certain it's particulates my filter can't seem to grab. I've resorted to less frequent backwashing because I think the filter becomes more...

Thanks for the response - I am confident in that number as I used my TF100 kit and R-0013 reagent. Rounding up isn't something I thought to do, but it's basically just adding more chlorine. I am not losing CL during the day even in direct sun. I think it went down 1.5ppm today - after being in...

I am running a Hayward pump, Hayward sand filter, have a central floor drain, a skimmer, and a single return on an above ground, vinyl, 24' round pool. The Hayward H150 heater didn't start this year so it's not running. Last year I didn't close my pool properly and didn't cover it. Removed all...

Do you think the cloudiness I'm still experiencing is from the over-chlorination? Is it contaminates still not filtered out by the sand filter? Should I expect clearing water as the FC comes down?

My closing cover came undone during the winter and I didn't take the time to get it back in place. I opened the pool yesterday and it was clear but greenish. Cover came off, and even with by best efforts, dumped its supply of 6 months of grossness into the pool. 24' round, 5' deep, center drain...
