Victory! No Algae dead or alive. Water looks crystal to me OCLT passed (finally) 0 CC Almost 40L of 12.5% chlorine and essentially a whole FAS-DPD kit later. Let's try and avoid that again for a while!

Was probably a bit arrogant to think I'd have it sorted in a couple of days. Still burning 2-2.5ppm overnight and I spotted a water boatman to really drive the "you done messed up" message home. Ah well. Stay calm and SLAM on!

Well at least the process is educational. Visually the pool was looking pretty great last night when I made my last Chlorine addition. Nevertheless something chewed ~7ppm of FC out of the pool overnight! It's easy to see how you could get stuck on a cycle of regularly shocking the pool without...

I guess I'd been in denial for the last week-10 days. The pool looked "off" and lacked sparkle. I knew it but kinda made up excuses in my mind. I had a swim last night with the pool lights on and that snapped me out of it. Floaties and ick were undeniable. 10 hours into SLAM number 1, 13.5L...

PS - Thanks to the responsible parties for the survey. I am sure it was a big undertaking to execute.

Just eyeballing the graphs it was 4/5ths SWG pools 1/5 Chlorine as a ratio of chlorination method, so I don't think there is anything to read into the quote below. The issues are occurring at basically the same rate by my understanding?

I think Max meant FC when he was writing CH.

This is a bit frightening as a FG pool owner. But then the forum is also full of people having issues with their plaster or with their liner. Pooling has it's challenges it seems! The positive is it seems like it is a cosmetic issue rather than anything that would cause the pool to be...

What has your pool installer said in response to the issues that have appeared since the shed went up? They cleaned the solids from the pool but you don't know what might have dissolved in there really. Did they use an external pump to clean the pool or vacuum to waste or into your sand filter...

First port of call is to get the equipment manufacturers instructions for all your equipment. Then you gotta read those puppies. Sorry about that :LOL: Is it possible that materials from the construction of the shed ended up in the pool?
