Too late... ? I guess it will buy us some time until we get that bottom tank. And if we need to open and drain the filter I guess we can use the inlet pipe...does that sound right?

And in case anyone is wondering--the bottom of the tank cost $400.00 at Leslie's and only $250.00 on Amazon.

Ok, thanks! And thanks for knowing that I was talking about the filter not the pump. :)

The bottom hole where the plug screws in seems to be stripped. The plug won't stay in. Has anyone had this happen? What do you do besides buy a whole new bottom to the tank?

Hey Guys! Things have been going well, the SLAM worked and I haven't seen any more signs of the slight mustard algae creeping back around the shadowy area. Thanks for everyone's help! Now I'm trying to get all my other numbers back in check, one thing that's giving me problems is my PH and TA. I...

Got it, thanks! - - - Updated - - - Yeah, I'm almost positive I did the test right. I did it several times.

The pool is full! Tests are in! And they look much better--except for TA, I'm not sure why that went up but (correct me if I'm wrong) it looks like I need to add 19 oz of acid to get it back down. I'm about to add more than 3 gallons of bleach to the water per the pool calculator. Eek, that...

We drained about 60% over night. This morning, I took a spray bottle of 1:1 bleach and water and sprayed down the sides, and really brushed every thing down. We cleaned the cartridges really well and are in the process of re-filling. I will post test results when it is full. I plan to SLAM when...

Thanks, UNjoyfulnoise...just kidding of course. :) To be honest, we are just super busy with base ball games (fall-balll) all weekend and are trying to get as much out as possible without making a mess of our yard or our neighbors (we are on a septic, no city water=no drains.) We will try to go...

Ok! Today is the day! This weekend we are partially draining about 30%. The weather is cooler here and I feel like we have enough grasp on what we need to do to get the CYA down at least for the winter. We will test as we go! I plan to test our water hardness out of the tap,as well...but there...

My husband thanks you for the "deep breath and relax" advice ;) So I got my kit and the numbers...should I continue to post on this thread? If so, here you go... (if not please let me know the best way). CYA-180-200 I did two tests so it's definitely somewhere in between :mad: Chlorine-2 ppm...

I so agree, it seems almost illegal!!!

Hi and thanks! I set up my signature, I can't find model numbers at the moment but will add them when I do. I am waiting on the kit, and will post test results. As of right now, we occasionally drain a couple inches out of the pool at a time (due to rain) using a regular water hose and spigot...

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I just purchased the TF-100. Once we get this all figured out I will only use the TFP way from here on out. I'm super stressed that our very expensive pool that is less than a year old is (likely) already in need of draining. :( One more question. If...

Hello all! This is my first time posting. I have a 12,000 Gal. In ground, Cody pebble tech pool. It's a little over a year old. We've had problems with yellow algea on the walls lately but the water has always been really clear. I finally called a pool company and they told me that CYA was off...
