She is using the test kit that you all recommended. I cant remember the name, but I remember buying it from a lady in NC online that you all suggested. She has turned the SWG to 100% and is adding bleach. She put in 10 gallons today. She added the CYA she had on hand (probably about 1lb) and...

So we're good to add CYA and raise the alkalinity while we're working through this?

🤦‍♂️

I questioned her CYA testing process - sounds like she'd doing it correctly. Wouldn't this mean CYA is too high? Her text to me- "I do step 1, filling to bottom of label with pool water. Then, I filled same bottom to the top of the label with R-0013, mix. I do step 2, get CYA view tube ( one...

No. It has been 2.5 years. When I converted from baquacil - I actually installed a brand new filter body and valve, obviously with new sand.

Gotcha - When I first converted from baquacil - I though I recalled folks on here telling me NOT to add CYA until it was "right".... I'll have her dose it with bleach and turn the SWG to 100%.

As you can see, its not horrible... It's just not crystal clear like usual.

Some of you will remember me from a few years ago. You all were very kind to me and walked me through a horrendous Baquacil to SW conversion. Well, my mom (her pool) has loved every second of the new SW world but, this year she's having some issues with start up. The water just wont clear up...

Okie dokie. In anticipation of a mess, I had mom proactively pour "a little bit" of bleach into the pool... turns out a little bit to her is 21 gallons :eek: She apparently did this over the course of the last 2 days. CYA is 60 (holding from last year) FC is 12 Water is blue - a tad cloudy...

Thanks! You were a tremendous help last year! She has the TF-100. I just need to get the cover off, fix a small leak at the pump, and get the water moving. We're a little concerned about finding bleach, given our current COVID-19 situation, it's REALLY hard to come by. I think she has stock...

As the title says, this will be our first start up after converting to SWG last summer. If you want to see some large amounts of goo - here is that thread- Another Baquacil to Salt Conversion with several questions. Anyway, I'm traveling from GA to VA to help my mom start the pool up. Where do...

Wow, I didn’t realize my southern accent was so hard to understand in writing. We did NOT turn the SWG on. ??‍♂️
