Last night I accidentally? put too much liquid chlorine in, 2 FC over my SLAM goal. SLAM called for 24 FC and we tested 26 hours right before bed. The chemicals had about 2 hours to mix. This morning my FC is 23.5, so a loss of 2.5 FC. My CC tested at 0 and the pool is crystal clear. I'll...

Thank you sir, we are underway. Will continue until overnight chlorine test and my eyeballs tell me I am done.

Long story short, went on vacation for awhile, left pool with brother, things got messed up. I just need someone to verify my thoughts about what I'm seeing. I've done a bad job keeping records.. for shame. I have tested though, and the pool hasn't fallen below 0 FC. CC is <= 0.5, which I...

Well, I took a flathead screwdriver to the lid and got it popped open. It actually is setup just like the picture I posted. The sand looked and felt fine to me, I rinsed a good bit of it until all the little bugs and such were gone. I had the multiport set to closed so water was draining down...

My pump is a waterco sm600m8 and I can't even get the glass lid off so I think it's time to call a pro in. Might be time to redo the whole thing.

Something like this, but not exactly. Sorry for all the posts.

I should note that the filter has a clear dome on the top, with the pressure gauge. The multiport is not part of the barrel.

After reading this: Deep Cleaning a Sand Filter i have a question. My pool has obviously been open for months now. I never actually close the pool down. Anyway, the way the pool was installed, there are no shutoff valves on any pvc, intake or outtake. So, if im rinsing from the top, how do...

They're coming out after memorial day. Will update.

Hey, it's 8'6" I believe. One thing I'm certain of is it's a man-made object. There is a small, perfect circle outline visible.

Called a few companies locally to install a new pool liner. It's about a 10 year old 36k pool and we bought the house last summer, it had come off the coping some. Finally found someone that would do a blue dolphin pool (something about the way it's installed is difficult). Anyway, we were...

Ah looks good, thanks.

In ground, 24k gallon

First, I want to say my first ever season with a pool was wildly successful thanks to this place. We never had any time wasted fixing water chemistry, never any algae blooms, etc, tested my own water cleaned my own pool. Thanks. I'm planning the closing, but I'm just curious how I can get the...
