    Algea ?

    Thanks Texas Splash for the advice, my pool is better now, It's clearer but not crystal clear . In addition, It fails the overnight chlorine loss test, yesterday it was 9.6 and this morning it's about 8.1,so I will continue with the SLAM process.

    Algea ?

    Hi, I used the SLAM process and my pool is now back to blue, but it still cloudy, not to much because I can see the bottom. Yesterday my FC is 10.6 but today it goes down to 7.6, I dont know why It's down so quick, do i miss anything ? The CYA is still 80, the pH is little bit high at 7.8

    Hi dmccoyTFP, you can find bleach on Walmart but they are all "concentrated", dont know we can use it or not, so I skip the bleach and use liquid chlorine at local Home Depot, 2 bottles, one gallon each for about $7. - - - Updated - - - I think there is something wrong with the uploading...

    Algea ?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. Do you know how my pool is cloudy ? is it because of high CYA ? I bought 2 bottles of liquid chlorine at home depot and already add one to rise the chlorine level(on the label, it says one bottle will add 5-10 ppm). I check my pool chlorine yesterday and it was 3...

    Algea ?

    Hi Jim, thanks for your reply. My test kit doesn't allow to measure above 10ppm, it's taylor K1004. Draining is not the best option because the cost is so expensive, people tell me just let the water evaporates then add new water, the pool will be clear, but it will take a while. I attached 2...

    Algea ?

    Hello everyone, i'm new to this side and new owner of a pool too. My pool is about 12,000 gallons and has been blue, cloudy after shocking to kill algea. I think I overdose the chlorine stablizer so it will take a while for the water to clear. Today my pool water turns green again, not too...
