Please give me some advice. We are all so busy now that school has started. Pool is getting ignored. 🥺 I have algae. I had it all vacuumed out, slammed it and was a-okay, now not so much. I have a hard time keeping chlorine at a good level. I'd like to keep it at 10 all the time. I've added...

Okay, thanks. My PH is still about the same. FC is up to 8.5. I will continue with that and keep it at 12. Hopefully PH will simmer down some.

Okay, thanks.

It is clear green, I just pushed the broom thru it and it murks it up some but can still see bottom.

Hello, all! I have done so much better this summer following this method. However, I started a new job, kids were at camp and it has been 100 + degrees this last week. So, as you can imagine, the pool has been ignored some and now needs slammed. The water is see thru, but green. Here are my...

I just posted my current numbers my FC is 3.5 not 5. CC is 0.5

These are my current numbers FC 5.0 CYA 40 TA 260 PH 7.5 I always have high TA. I just added some PH down and that brought PH down from 8.2. Last week the TA was 300. It still isnt warm enough to get in pool and now we are going through a very rainy week or more. Do I just leave it now and try...

I'm in central Kansas, my ta from water not in pool is 290.

I am on day 6 of SLAM. I have been keeping up fairly well adding chlorine, brushing, testing. Water is still cloudy but blue. I haven't always tested everything, just mostly chlorine daily several times. At the beginning possibly 10x per day. When I started the slam my ph was 7.5. Even before I...

You can swim up to slam level? The first 3 full days it was constant. The other 2.5 days I test 4-5 times. I'm out there all the time brushing and skimming and pouring bleach into the pool. I've been using pool math and add what it tells me to. So for the most part I feel like I've kept up with...

Water has improved tremendously. As has our pump pressure and output. My questions is this; I know of the 3 criteria to end slam. Will the water just one day clear up? When using the powdered shock product, the water is murky until the level is back to normal. I'm trying my darndest to keep...

It never seems like we have good water output from this filter. We have decided the skimmer side is okay. When we backwash or waste there is a bunch of large bubbles in sight glass. It sounds like there's a bunch of rocks iin it rattling around. I have cleaned out sand. If I remember correctly...

I will add the color os pretty but still very cloudy. Cant see bottom or really far at all.

When we opened our pool it was the color of first picture. (Saturday) Started the slam process late in the day on Sunday. My slam level is 16 so keeping it pretty steady at that, has come down to 13 and now it's up to 17.5. Water is looking so much better. Very cloudy yet. Cant see very far...
