Hi everyone, thanks for all your help and support from Foreclosure House in NJ. It was a long road laden with mines but we made it through to "The Clear Side"! :party: See the before and after below. I now have the following readings: FC; 7.0 CC: 0.5 TA; 150 CH; 40 PH; ? I have the Tayor...

Thank's for help cleaning the cartridges. I use the lowest pressure nozzle on the washer and try not to get too close, but I will stop using it. Two questions - Flintstone mentioned " By the way, you may want to buy one of the little brass nozzles and a shutoff fitting for cleaning the filter...

Hey, I almost embarrassed to say that this afternoon while cleaning my old large Cartridge, I found a fairly large break (hole) in the bottom...oops. I used that cartridge for about three weeks and wondered why the pressure never really went up. I believe that's called the school of hard...

Thanks for the encouragement! My wife and I are getting obsessed with this. We have goals of seeing steps into the pool. We are up to being able to the third step and water color had changed from, black to redish brown to green to now a lighter green. Some people have told us to get rid of the...

This morning FC 27.6 CYA 70 With CYA at 70 could be at 28 for shock level. Added 2 more 1.42 gals bleach. Ordered new cartridges, cleaned old cartridges, water still very muddy looking. Drained about 4" and refilled. 18 days since opening and running filter 24/7. Of course hind sight is...

Filled CYA tube with water this morning and I can see the black dot at the bottom of the tube but very cloudy. I took the following readings this morning: FC 6.8 CC 3.2 CYA 65 Sounds like I need to bring the shock level FC up to around 26? muckraker

Test Kit arrived and after carefully reading the instructions for each test we arrived at the following numbers yesterday evening: CYA 55 Total Alk 120 PH 7.4 Total Hdness 100 Cal Hdness 120 FC 10.6 Comb Chlor 4 All results...

Hi everyone, Day 14, I have a new Taylor Test Kit on order. Chlorine level is still off the chart, Ph looks good but no CYA. Besides all the chemistry, the cartridge filter does not seem to be picking up the debris. I hosed the two cartridges today which were pertty dirty since Sunday...

One of the forum topics is Chemical automation and liquidators. I reviewed some of the info although I must say I was amazed at some of the systems. I thought all somewhat larger pools used either in line or off tablet or stick chlorinators or SWG. After 12 days of dumping all forms of chlorine...
