Thanks!

Fighting a green swamp in a 13,000g outdoor pool. I've read the tutorial a few times but I have just a couple of questions. Here were my results 2 days ago right after I shocked it: FC 25 Cc 3 TA 20 PH 7.0 CYA - I guess there is none cause my test filled the whole tube and the dot was still...

Thanks everyone for all your help with turning my pool back to swimable and beautiful condition. After a CYA through the roof I drained/refilled and got the chemicals balanced. I've been maintaining for 3 weeks now and all seems to be well. Overnight test and all. Except.... This fine dust...

Re: New Comer - Read Pool School - Fighting algae, I think.. Thanks everyone for your help. I drained it all the way after double checking the table. It's beautfuil now... THANKS AGAIN!!! See pics below... Now it's time to work on the plumbing! Cheers, Ali

Thanks all for your suggestions. So, let me see if i can't address some of this stuff and give you guys a bit more insight. The pool has been refilled and looks 100x better than it used to. From green and mucky to turquoise and clear. I replaced the 4 cartridges in the filter, it's not a...

Re: New Comer - Read Pool School - Fighting algae, I think.. Ok...I guess I'm draining tomorrow. The forum says about 60% of the pool is sufficient to replace. Pool store (who I don't listen to). Said to replace it all just to be sure. A couple of questions: 1) what do you recommend for...

Re: New Comer - Read Pool School - Fighting algae, I think.. Alright Pool Helping Guidance Givers. I have my TF100 Test kit finally. And I ran the same tests twice to to make sure I wasn't insane. Here are my results: FC 0 - No drops, after the scoop was put in it turned pink for a split...

Re: New Comer - Read Pool School - Fighting algae, I think.. Yep...well...the pool store did (leslie's) and stated that there was no issue there... That's the only thing I have to go off of. Will I be able to test that with the TF100 test tonight? While the pool is green and was orignally...

Re: New Comer - Read Pool School - Fighting algae, I think.. Yes very anxious! :-D The water itself is fairly clear, and getting more clear everyday (very subtley). But the pool surface/concrete itself (even though the concrete is green) is still a darker shade that it should be...with dark...
