No stupid questions here. Do you have a Taylor Test kit? The people here like the TF-100. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes the water is way too cold to be in. That is a good idea on cleaning the light twice a year. I have left the light out so I can scrub it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I cleaned it a week ago but the brush I was using wasn't that good to get in the back. It had a bunch of stuff in it a week ago when I cleaned it. I got a little more out today with my new brush. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cleaned out the light niche and yes it needed cleaning again. I got me a better brush than I used before. Brushed everything else in pool down very good. See if that does it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to pull the light out this afternoon as it going to start warming again today. Here is a couple of pics I took this morning. http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w470/razor014/15C09984-117F-4562-923B-BF67FB627D0F_zpslsh8ic6i.jpg...

I am into 14 days in the slam with 3 days to get rid of ammonia which makes a total of 17 days. My water has been Crystal clear for a week. I usually add bleach once a day (FC droping 3-4 ppm) but my CC runs 1.0 to 1.5. I know that I need to keep the slam going until .5 on CC but I wondering...

Will do with the manual vacuum. Have been running Dolphin Apollo 4 hours a day and cleaning out bag and soaking in a chlorine solution.

Yes definitely I will clean out that light niche when I can get in the water as it's very hard to see the from the deck. I have attached a couple pictures of something that's on the bottom of the pool that I don't know what it is. If I brush it it will just form a cloud and disappear. Sent...

I checked my water this morning after nine hours (12:00 pm to 9:00 am) and the FC dropped 3.5. With CC at 1 ppm. I just checked again after nine more hours and no drop this afternoon in FC ( like yesterday afternoon) with CC still at 1 ppm. Is this sounding normal? Sent from my iPhone using...

I am still doing slam but may be toward the end. I was having trouble with my CC not coming down and still using FC. So I l took the light out of the nich and couldn't believe what was in there. I cleaned it out with a brush as I done this from the deck as the water is just 50 degrees. Then...

Slam going very well now. Water is clear. Continue with slam until I can pass OCLT test. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rural King here has 4 gallon bottles of 10% for $7.99. It has been the same price for last three years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I meant to say I had 16 gallons on hand of chlorine. I checked my CYA and it was zero so I did ammonia treatment with free chlorine at 10. It only took 3 gallons before I had half of the free chlorine left at 10 minute intervals. I have CYA acid in a sock now for the CYA to be 30. Now doing...

Yes that's what I was thinking that I probably have ammonia. I've done the free chlorine test and after 10 minutes I only have 1 ppm FC. I have 32 gallons of chlorine right now and I am going to pick up more and then start the treatment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't get the FC to go above 2. Anything else I should be doing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am just 24 hours into the slamming which I am only getting 2 FC. I am adjusting to 12 ppm as my CYA is 30.

My CC chorine is above .5 and my water is cloudy so I started slamming last night. Checking it and adjusting it every couple of hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are a couple pics. Will work on getting the FC up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From listening to the pool store last fall when I closed the pool caused some issues this spring. I normally do not open the pool until April but after rolling the auto cover open and seeing how the pool looked I decided to open early. I have a TF-100 test kit that I use. This was my test result...

The water looks good and i have been testing it but I had a problem last summer with cloudly water that took a couple weeks to clear up with the pool stores advice. I am looking forward to knowing what I am doing and for what reason.

I am located in Indiana, Our pool was built in 2012 so I have 3 summers under my belt but looking very much to next summer after finding this site. Will be getting me a Taylor test kit before next summer,
