Pool installed on Friday. The pump was working great. Yesterday, we lost power for a few hours while the pump was on. Once the power came back the pump is moving water but at almost no pressume. The PSI gauge is at 0. I've turned it off and on again. Backwashed and rinsed and still nothing. Help?

The new pool is filling now so I grabbed a sample. PH 7 TC 0 FC 0 TA 10 CYA 0 I need to measure when the pool fills up to get the exact gallons but going against the manufactuer 21k. The app is suggesting: 81 oz (2qts, 2 cups) of 10% chlorine bleach 7lbs of CYA (bit its been noted that I...

The pool is going up :) We are expecting water delivery within the hour!

Full disclosure we haven;t used these yet, but they are assembled and waiting in my garage. Seems sturdy and fairly easy to assemble. https://www.amazon.com/Ocean-Blue-Mighty-Above-Ground/dp/B007FIA9J2/ref=sr_1_16?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1529502762&sr=1-16&keywords=pool+steps

Thanks for the correction! I did use the pool math calcualtor and input exactly what it was but it didn't tell me to take into account a different height. I suppose I'll wait and see what the water truck fills it to and use that instead since the calculator can't be 100% accurate depending on...

Thank you all! FIngers crossed I get it right :)

Yes def a 30 foot- 54 in high pool. Or at least that's what I ordered! It's this one here: 30'x54 Quest Round Pool I upgraded the liner to the 40gauge though. I do have the pool math app and it is super easy to use, thank goodness! Ok so all in for chlorine, ease back on the cya. Thanks!!

Yes I have been reading obsessively! The FAS-DPD test kit is on the way. I had purchased the other kit and couldn't refund, so I had to add that one. I am doing liquid chlorine as that seems the easiest for right now. It is a huge pool. The home we purchased previously had that size and was fit...

We are having our pool set up and filled on Friday. I have my test kits ready to go. The water company is delivering basically drinking water for the pool. I am going out to shop for chemicals tonight and have a list of bleach, CYA, and muriatic acid to have on hand once I do the inital tests...

That helps, thank you! I will add the other K1515. We are having a water tanker fill it as we have a well for our water. Is there a forum I can go to, to get a "shopping list" of chemicals I'll need?

Thanks! I am reading up on Pool School now. I have a K-2005 test kit- is that ok or should I return and get something different?
