Here is a pool water clarity hack that I discovered here a few years ago on TFP that I'm sharing with everybody in need of clearing their pool. From green to cloudy blue to crystal clear. Read this post from start to end. All 5 pages. Myself and others here on TFP are helping this person clear...

My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear That's a great idea buying a sheet of it and wrapping it around your cartridge filter. I didn't know you can buy sheets of it. I was throwing this idea around for the last 4 years with the user KIMKATS on TFP. I was trying to inquire if anyone knew of any...

My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear I noticed from your previous post that your FC is only at 4. Is there any reason why your FC is so low? Shouldn't you be at shock or SLAM levels which is between FC 15-20 ppm? What is your current state of CYA?

I'm sure that there are resources on here that can tell you what size horsepower pump and filter is recommended for the gallon size of your pool. I have browsed them before in the past, just don't know where to find them at the moment I'll search in a little while. I would recommend with a pool...

Hey sorry... Cooking breakfast, washing diapers, and changing babies... Lol...Honestly I can't remember which material I actually ordered. I browsed the drop down menu a few days ago. If you select the size 4x14" 5 micron or 1 micron first. The only selection left you have is Single Polyester...

Yeah I'm in the Northeast New Jersey. My current pool temperature is 62 degrees. I probably won't be able to use it until late June early July even with the solar cover, as I prefer it to be at a minimum of 72 degrees before I get in it. Too chilly for me. The temperature of the water factor...

WTH??... That HTH indicator is different than mine. The chlorine used to be measured in grades of yellow and the PH in purple pink. Now they are both measured in pink?... Nothing like confusing everyone.

That's fine being cheap or frugal that's why we are all here utilizing the BBB. I've used that 6 way HTH OTO test kit for six years in addition to the K-2006 when I am maintaining PH and FC at 5ppm and below. Why am I going to burn through the FAS-DPD drops when I can use up my OTO HTH which...

So? Who wants to be the first to test pilot the 0.5 micron bag?... Lol...Someone on this forum I read tonight did indeed test pilot the 1 micron bag with good success in filtering out fire ash out of their pool from a large forest fire near their home,because they live in California.

Wow those questions got answered pretty fast. Couple of things. TA stands for Total Alkalinity which is adjusted by baking soda to raise, or gets lowered with muratic acid which also lowers PH, and holds a inter-relationship with the PH. The PH will have more of a tendency to swing or bounce...

Here are some ideal numbers you want to shoot for. FC 12ppm for SLAM 3 ppm minimum for maintenance with a CYA of 30. CC less than 0.5 CYA 30. Lower part of range between 30-50. PH 7.2 for SLAM 7.4 once out of SLAM AND PASSES OCLT TEST AND WATER RUNS CLEAR. TA 90 is a good middle of range...

Wow that is "Super Clairity Sparkling Clear"

Hey I have the five Micron Duda Diesel bag, and have been advocating it all over this forum for water clairity. How was your experience with the one micron? Was water able to pass through it reasonably without causing too much psi back pressure on the filtration unit? Nevermind you answered my...

"How much is 1 heaping scoop of the R0870? What am I using to scoop?" Ut oh...It sounds like you didn't receive your little scooper dip stick thingy with the R-0870 powder. The scooper should have been rubber banded to the R-0871 bottle. The little cut away in the lid is where it rests. You...

You might be right LEEBO. Now the geek in me wants to research the key component chemical that chloromax is made of? I wonder if its proprietary to Chlorox? Or are other brands utilizing the same component? Good point.

Re: Help...took the advice from Leslie's and now my pool is out of whack "(i can see "dust" come off the stairs when I sweep every morning right after I turn the filter on." That sounds like the beginning phases of algae. Or could possibly be fine sediment not being filtered by your skimmer...

Alright maybe I am over reacting a bit. I'm just sick and tired of being "Europeanized" by product manufacturers not only for political and commercial reasons, but financial reasons as well. If people pay attention to their grocery bills, and their supermarkets, everything is shrinking in size...

Just out if curiosity? How come you added the trichlor mid treatment in there when the beginning and recent treatments were bleach? Did you intend to raise your CYA up from 0 to 30?

When you start using the 5 micron filter bag, you'll probably never have to buy DE or Fiber clear ever again. Because it is mechanically and effectively filtering out the same Micron level as DE or fiber clear would. The best part about it is it would effectively reduce or completely eliminate...

Elbow is Hayward SPX1105Z4. Do a search for it on Google it can be had anywhere between $4 and $8. You can also pick it up at your local pool store or Leslie's, if you don't feel like paying for shipping or waiting a few days. - - - Updated - - - You don't have to necessarily pressure wash the...

Here you go Duda Diesel Bag. EBay $5.35 Sewn Industrial Filter Sock Bags Water Liquid Biodiesel WVO Oil Dust Fuel Diesel | eBay Select in the drop down. Single Polyester Felt Heat Treated Size: 4"x 14 " Micron 5 Qty: 1 or however many you want.... I don't have an inground pool with...

My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear Yeah I'm sorry, I had a feeling I was going to freak everyone out with that above 20 psi warning. No worries though...It won't cause any significant immediate damage. I only heed the warning because I can hear my motor and impeller straining to circulate at a...

My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear Here is a picture of mine - - - Updated - - - Clearing out all the algae and pollen - - - Updated - - - If you have gunk in your pool the bag is going to load up fast at 5 Micron and create back pressure, so watch your pressure every hour when using it...

My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear Yes an elbow will have the same size threading as an eyeball jet. Just don't overtighten the elbow. Seat it and then back it off a turn, and yes, that is the Hayward elbow in the link above. Don't forget a hose clamp. When you receive the bag cut the ring off...

Yeah I confirmed this 6% issue the other day with Stop and Shop Brand, Wal-Mart Great Value Brand, and even. Clorox. They are all advertising and charging the price for concentrated, but it is still only 6% sodium hypochlorire. Plus to add insult, the fl. Oz. Is only 121 fl. Oz. My local...

Yeah but this just isn't limited to one manufacturer I'm seeing that multiple manufacturers are doing it Target Stop & Shop Clorox Great Value Walmart. What is going on and how can they falsely advertise like that on something that is advertised as concentrated when it's clearly not, not to...

Bought house in 2013. Opened pool green. Previous home owner only left a leaf net on the pool. Didn't know the first thing about pools, one idiot brother threw 3 tri chlor pucks right in the middle of the pool to the bottom. I still wonder to this day if that's what was causing the wrinkles in...

I noticed this week at three different places Stop & Shop Walmart and some other place. All brands of bleaches that are marked concentrated are only 6% sodium hypochlorite. Concentrated bleach should be at least 8.25% the concentrated Great Value brand I used to get at Walmart last year for...

Yeah this definitely sounds like a government regulated trend going on here. I'm on the case.
