My pool is back to normal again. :-D Thanks for all of your help. Now I have to deal with a hornets nest by my pool deck from my neighbors side, but, that's a whole other story :grrrr: .......

I'm using cal-hypo. The CYA reading is from Leslies Pool Center , not a test strip.

I added a bag of shock last night and halleluja I woke up to a chlorine reading! :-D Here are my numbers from pool store water analysis: Free Chlorine> 1 Total Chlorine> 2 PH > 7.6 TA> 90 CYA> 50 Maybe another bag and a half to two bags of shock tonight :?: ___________________________...

Yup..I didn't realize she wrote that until after I posted..... :oops:

Will do. Thanks for your response and of course your help. The reason I ask about something other than Jack's products is because they are not available in my area. I have to wait for them to be shipped. Any other alternative? Would Metal Free be of any use? Thanks!

Got it . Thanks. Is there a way of doing this using shock? I have a whole carton of it. Also, the sequestering agent I used was Jack's Magic Pink Stuff which I ordered by mail. What do I look for in my local Leslies pool store for a sequestering agent? Is Metal Free one?

It's been 9 days since AA treatment. How about if I add some Cal-Hyp to my skimmer tonight?

yes.

The CYA 0f 10 in my original post was accurate. I thought that I reposted my new CYA level ( which looked like it was 100 , but, I retested) in response to frustratedpoolmom . Guess it didn't post. __________________________ 10,500 Gallons, 15 x 30 AG Pool Hayward Sand filter 2 HP Pump Aqua Pro...

Yes PH is at 7.2 now. Also, CYA is more in the 30-50 range. Not the 100 I previously posted.

Thanks for your quick response! So, what strength bleach do you recommend? Where do I pour bleach ? Into skimmer? Should I turn my chlorine feeder off? Thanks!

So my pump is still up and running good the next day. Still can not get a chlorine level! I have three 3" chlorine tabs in feeder and is turned to 8. Can anyone please tell me the best way of getting my chlorine back? It's been 8 days since my AA treatment. Thanks.....

So, pool service came this morning and the filter is now working fine. However, they didn't do anything except backwash with the backwash hose disconnected. I backwashed twice yesterday with no effect. Not sure if that helped or just coincidenatal and I have an intermittent problem.

Well, I might have found out why the pool is not clearing. There is no or very little pressure coming from my return. I backwashed a few times and tried troubleshooting over the phone with my pool service. They are coming in the morning. He thinks it might be a broken multiport valve. I'm...

Thanks. Happy to be here. Informative site. I understand that some cloudiness is normal for a couple of days, my concern is that it is extremely cloudy, almost like milk, and it's been that way for almost 5 days. Also would like some info on the best way of bringing back my chlorine. Thanks!
