Mine has gotten better after i put it in the shade and not direct sunlight. It still sucks

Have you gotten your issue resolved? Mine started bubbling yesterday and for the past couple weeks has been stopping mid cycle.

We bought the house last year and the previous owner replaced the sand early last year. I will be home all week so I can take a look at it if needed. When raising fc to mustard algae level would it be wise to stay out of the pool for the day? Kids will be gone all week so i don't need to worry...

The overnight test passed the fc and cc but the water is still cloudy. I plan on keeping the slam going today because i will not be around as much to test. Should I add DE to the sand filter? Let it filter for another day or 2? Pressure hasn't risen at all on the filter so I don't believe i...

Thanks for the encouragement. With a full weekend of softball and baseball tournaments i am scrambling to get back to test. With a 6 month old on top of that. Very stressful. Luckily the 2 older kids have canp all week starting tomorrow afternoon so I can just focus on slamming.

Morning reading for overnight test the fc only dropped by 4 ppm and cc by 0.5. Added more chlorine to get to slam level. Water still looks cloudy but there wasnt any sediment on the steps or edges like in days past. Brushed and ran the prowler. Hoping to see a small improvement by days end.

Alright, day 1 of slamming almost done. After reading about mustard algae i am pretty sure that is what i am dealing with. I have been seeing "loose dirt" on the steps and corners for awhile which i thought was pollen or just dirt. At least i have been brushing religiously but now i will really...

I'm guessing I had a testing error last night because the fc was back at 13.5 and cc was 0.5 this morning. I will keep doing the overnight tests but in the meantime do I wait for some sun to do the cya test and then start slamming? Ph was down around 7.5. Added some more dry acid to try to lower...

Tested everything again about 1030 pm. Ph was around 7.8 i think the dry acid i added was bringing it down. Ta was high at 130 Fc was 10 Cc was down to 1 Cya 70 I will test the chlorine and ph again at 530 to see what we have going on

Pool was not covered. We had some rain today but that is about it.

Alright test kit came and here is the initial results so far. I haven't ran all tests yet but i will try to eventually. Ph - 7.8 or 8 i will retest but those were hard to differentiate Cya- 70 i will retest but that surprised me as the test strips always said low Fc - 13 Cc- 2 I will run the...

I will be doing it going forward. I have been reading through everything the past couple days so I am getting my knowledge base built.

We had a VSP put in about 2 weeks ago but when our pool guy did it, between storms and his busy schedule, the pool wasn't circulated for about 4.5 days. Of course the water has been cloudy since then. Before finding tfp I was only using the test strips. They have consistently been showing very...
