I currently have a Hayward Max-Flo High-Performance Pump, Model SP2807x10 1HP. We have always run it 24/7, but have recently installed a timer so we can turn off the pump during the night. Any recommendations for a new pump? Hayward suggested the Hayward EcoStar variable speed pump, but I...

I went away for a couple of days. Before I left, I brought my FC up to 16 and put on the solar cover. I have nobody around to maintain my pool while I am gone. When I got back, the pool was cloudy. These are my totals for this morning. FC - 3 CC - 0 PH - 7.2 TA - 160 CYA - 40 CH - 260 I...

BTW - Thank you everyone for your help.

I am using Liquid Chlorine to SLAM. I will keep the level up until the water is clear. I did this 2 weeks ago, but hard rains continued last week after I thought I had it under control. 2 inches of rain water in 15 minutes last week. Lots of flooding going on here. The PH level yesterday...

Here are my test results: FC - 21 ( I brought it up this morning to this level. It was at 4) TA - 160 PH - 7.5 CYA - 40 CH - 280 We have had MUCH rain, and I've had to drain several inches after each of these horrible storms in Ohio. The water has been great this summer, up until about 2...

CH was a lot higher last year (360) before I started using the BBB method. It is lower now due to having to drain a foot of water from the pool for the winter.

CH is 260.

Poolife TurboShock 78% Calcium Hypochlorite Shock.

Thank you. I will be giving it to a friend, along with a case of TurboShock.

Forgot to post update. My pool cleared up overnight! I caught it early enough. Many of my friends had the same problem, so we think it had to do with the massive amount of rain we've had. I shocked for an extra day just to be on the safe side, but my pool is crystal clear. Thanks everyone!

I have close to 4 full (big) bottles of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier. I have not used it since I converted to the BBB Method. Do I have a need for Clarifier or should I get rid of it? I use to buy it when I would get phosphates and the "pool people" told me to use it when they sold me the...

Got the PH down to 7.2. FC is at shock level and water is clearing. Thanks for your help!

Thanks. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

I woke up this morning to cloudy water. Here are my test results: FC - 20 (I just shocked) TA - 160 CYA - 40 PH - 7.8 Do I keep the shock level up until the water clears? I live in Ohio and we have had terrible rain here. On 3 separate occasions, I have had to pump at least 3...

I did get a Dolphin Atlantis after doing some research. And, I got a great year end price! As for it's performance, I absolutely LOVE IT!. I get up in the morning, head to the pool to do a water test, and put the Dolphin in for a morning cleaning. You simply plug it in, put it in the...
