It's Robarb Super Blue. I think it is and yes, I vacuumed as much as I could see to waste during the remove/refill yesterday. I'm waiting until this afternoon to add the cal hypo to shock again. The CYA is now reading 40.

It's says it's for crystal clear pool water polisher that won't affect the water balance. I do not see what the active ingredient is since there is no information on the bottle about that.

I have vacuumed the pool twice as well as brush daily even though I can’t see the floor in the deep end. I can see enough in the shallow to know it’s pretty clean. The water flow from the returns and skimmers is good since I’ve been backwashing every 25% increase. I checked into the sand and it...

Ok will do. Thanks for the quick response. I'll provide an update soon or more questions lol.

I have done your steps of adding LC to get to 10ppm FC and it held at 8 ppm FC for over 30 minutes. Then I added the CYA in socks in the skimmers and near the returns and held SLAM level at 12 for the rest of the day. I added a little more LC my last run of the night and backwashed which the...
