I appreciate your help! I may start with just a foot or so to see if how the chlorine bath works out. If it works well will take it down a bit further. Thanks again!

We are North of Dallas (Frisco/Plano) area and have had plenty of rain for sure. While the majority of it would only require a foot of water or so (pool is roughly 4 feet deep) my fear is that without a complete drain there would be no way to get it all. I would rather have that fear of course...

Ok. Quick update as my pool is finally back to clear water and all my numbers are in line. Confirmed that I am not dealing with copper and it is black mold. I can scrub areas and even hit them with liquid chlorine as they are heaviest just below the water line so pouring it right there hits the...

I likely made a mistake with the math. Once it get it clear again I will run through all the tests again and see where I am. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay again. Had more crazy storms and heavy rain and another day of overflow into the pool which I am still clearing to get back to normal. I have a drainage issue that needs to be resolved this summer. I typically add the chlorine under the waterfalls so that it gets disperesed...

The water is crystal clear so must be the photo. No green water fortunately. I did test way to soon after I added liquid chlorine so that is the reason it is so high. I have had to take a few days to get it clear again from the recent storms and overflow into my pool of dirt. Water was brown a...

Thank you and sorry for the delay. We have had crazy storms over the weekend and pool took a beating with overflow and inflow of mulch, dirt, etc. All my neighbors battling it as well. Will give it a try and probably alot more out of wack now. Almost back to clear now. Thanks and will report...

The pool is roughly 10 years old. I don't have any dry acid but can definitely get some. Can you suggest a particular brand and place to buy? I have never used it before. Will also get the TA and PH up right away. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I hope you can give me some ideas on what to do next. I have been battling what I believe is black algae as it somewhat comes off when I scrub it (green particles come off) but a black stain is left. I have rubbed chlorine pucks on these stains and they don't seem to want to go...

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong area but this is a question regarding algae treatment as I think a brush is part of the treatment.:unsure::unsure::unsure: I have my chemicals pretty close if not spot on where they need to be but I mentioned earlier I am fighting black algae spots. I need to...

thank you sir!

Wow, okay, learning so much already. Thank you everyone above who chimed in. So my Shock Power Powder Plus from Leslies is the Cal-hypo shock which would explain why my CH is as high as it is and the calcium scale on our pool.. Pool math recommended draining 11% of my pool to get the CH down. I...

Thank you and will do. Poolmath told me a little more than 2 cups of acid which I put in last night. We then got a few inches of rain so heading back out this morning to check on the PH again and will adjust as needed.
