Yesterday Today!

It is finally turning blue!!!! I dont know what changed but it finally is going the right direction. Thank you all for your support to keep the fight. I have a few more days to go I think, as it is still quite cloudy, but finally it is blue and not green. We might get one more swim :)

As far as I know the gauge works. I'll pay closer attention and do a backwash anyway.

Thank you! I can backwash the sand filter. It has not increased pressure in weeks. I have back washed a few times after I run the vacuum.

This is rough. I have been maintaining my levels as often as I can, with 3 kids and starting a business. 2x a day, brushing once for sure. It is getting slightly clearer and less bright green, but when I brush it is still kicking up algae. Cya is 30 after draining about 6" of water.

Well, I have continued the fight and made minimal, if any, progress. I started pumping some water out in an attempt to suck some algae off the bottom. The plan is to replace some water and hope that helps clear it up.

It is an above ground pool that we buried about 2ft. Probably best to just keep the same course, because I do not want to have to replace my liner. I just keep looking over the fence at my neighbors perfectly clear pool and am so disappointed in mine.

Ok, I know this isn't "correct" but I'm seriously considering draining and refilling. It will cost max of $120 to refill and maybe $40 in chemicals to stabilize. I've spent way more than that in just the last few weeks trying to clear this up. My liner is barely 3 years old. Although it has been...

Between 30 and 40 Well I guess we know why the slam hasn't been working 🤦‍♀️ kind of a waste of chlorine. Uhg. Let's hope I can get this under control soon!

Between 30 and 40

Ok! 🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed. Double checked the CYA, dot disseapears right before 30. So 30 is correct?

Yes it runs away.

But also, this is growing on the side 🤦‍♀️
