    Bought a 25 pound bucket of calcium hardness increaser and will add it in small doses over the next few days. For any newbies reading this, I highly recommend following every word of the experts on this site. No shortcuts. I now know the difference between pool store water clarity and TFP...

    Thanks to the experienced members here I have my pool back in order and it looks as good as ever but my CH is still a little low at 150. Do I need to be concerned or should I try to get it up.

    Just tested. CH 150 pH 7.9 TA 130 CYA. 60 per pool calculator I added 24 ounces of 31.45 muriatic acid. Also says to add 61 pounds of calcium chloride. That seems like a lot and I don’t have any so it’s time for a road trip. just took pic of R2D2 in the deep end. Today is an overcast day...

    First time poster with cloudy water

    Just tested this morning and FC still 22.0. I’ll say CC was 0.5 but it could be closer to zero too as after I add the five drops R-0003 the water maybe barely had a pink hue. Water looks clear as ever so if I’m correct I am done with the slam.

    Just tested and FC is 22 and CC is 0.5. It’s dark now so should I add some bleach to get the FC to 24 or wait and do the overnight test first thing in the morning.

    Just got home and pool water is up 2 inches from all the rain. Today was a very hot and humid day and FC just tested at 15.5 and CC at 0.5. Poolmath said to add just under 2 gallons so I added 2 gallons of bleach. I retest in a hour or so.

    This morning the FC was 20 so I added one gallon of bleach. Not sure if this matters but it rained hard all night as there were flash flood warnings.

    Thanks for the advice. As a father of a special needs child I probably have too much patience. Just added another 1.5 gallons of bleach. Time for bed as it’s way past my bedtime.

    Ok. I will continue the SLAM.

    It could be because I have the filter cranking right now.

    I just took this pic. I can see the drain in the deep end and some leaves leftover from the storm
