I completely understand. At least you're making some good progress. My biggest problem I found was the filter that these Intex pools come with. I've noticed now that it has cleared up that even after I put in a new filter and go to vacuuming I see debree coming out of the return from my...

It WILL clear up Wilson just give it some time. Do you have any pics of what it looks like right now? When did you start working on it?

Alright, a few of you have asked me about the status of my pool. As you know on the 17th of June I was very frustrated and was ready to drain the pool. I posted on here that I was going ahead and draining it. I went outside and what do you know I could actually see the bottom. After A LOT of...

I was just wondering what is considered a safe FC level to swim in? I guess the question I really want to ask is how high is too high? I've been shocking the pool and am now waiting on the FC level to drop some before swimming but I wanted to know what is safe. Thanks ahead. Matt

I'm tired of working my rear end off keeping the chlorine level up with no improvement. I don't even have a life because I'm constantly having to take care of the pool when I'm home. I'm about to drain it and start all over if nobody has any better ideas. Matt

Alright, here are my test results as of just a few minutes ago. We had a major storm come through that dumped a lot of rain on us last night so I've noticed some things have changed. CYA - 60 PH - 6.8 FC - 21.5 CC - 0 TC - 21.5 CH - 70 TA - 80 I have a feeling that my filter is designed for...

Alright! I am seriously getting frustrated now. Is there no end in sight? 3 days ago I posted a picture and here now is a picture from literally 2 minutes ago. Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant: Somebody help!!!!

Alright, well today I took the advice I had been given and took the FC level from around 22ppm all the way up to 28ppm. It's been that way for a while and when I just went out and took the filter cartridge out to clean it something happened that hasn't happened before. There was this pile of...

Thanks Duraleigh I appreciate it. Matt

Here is another question. With a CYA of 65 the Pool Calculator recommends a FC level of 19ppm to reach and maintain shock level. On the Chlorine/CYA chart however for a SWG it recommends between 24 and 28ppm. Which one should I follow? I'm at roughly 21.5ppm right now and need to know what I...

Yeah. She must have posted that as I was asking the question. lol I hit the post button and then read that. Thanks. 8) Also, here is a picture. Hope this helps. Matt

My PH is at 7.0 right now. Since I'm still in shock mode should I worry about adjusting it or should I just leave it alone? Matt

Alright, here are my latest test results. How am I lookin'? FC-24 CC-0 TC-24 PH-7.0 TA-110 CH-70 CYA-65 Let me know what your suggestions are. We're getting there. We're turning blue now but not yet clearing. Matt

Gotcha! I'll go turn it off and watch overnight. Thanks. Matt

So you don't think I should keep my SWG on? According to pool school it says I can keep it on to maintain the chlorine level while shocking. My current FC is about 24ppm as of a little while ago. That's after running all day and not adding anything. Any particular reason not to run the SWG...
