Thanks for the info. 2 scoops did do the trick :party:

Ok for the past 2 days, I haven't been able to test for chlorine. Ever since I put a little extra shock in the pool when I left for work the other day. When I add the little spoon of the chemicals it turns pink a little and when i swirl it, the pink goes away. When I run a color drop...

Well, this morning I got up and it was light green and after work today it was light green/blue . Still foggy though but process is being made.

Can I actually shock too much? If i was to put extra in before work to keep it higher while I'm gone?

Keeping it over 20 is what im doing. Yesterday, I checked every couple hours. Today I did before and after work. Nothing I can do while I'm at work. I was hoping it would atleast go down to maybe a light green. Any progress would be nice lol

Drained the pool and filled it up again. Got the cya down to 50. Been shocking for 2 days now but its been absolutely pouring rain out both days. Have yet to see any results? Still dark green. Is this rain a problem?

Ok, Thanks for the response.

So does cya just keep getting higher, year after year of people using the chlorine tabs/pucks until finally it ends up like mine? I just did a cya test with the tf kit it said in between 80-90 Should I assumed the TF kit is right and not the pool store? and if thats the case, how much water...

Ok just started to drain the pool. Do I really need to drain 70%?

The test provided is from the pool store when I went to see what they said. I use the trouble free kit for my own use. In the pool store test it says ideal cya is 30-200. So that is way off i guess?

Having problems getting my pool blue. A month ago it was blue but really foggy. I went on vacation and it rained alot. When I got back it was green. Been shocking the heck out of it and it won't change from nasty green. I bought a new filter and pump. Catridge filter and 1.5hp pump. My water...

I kept fc at 14 for 2 weeks..i went through 30 gallons of shock...i brought it down cuz i was going through so much

PH 7.2 chlorine is 7 cc is 2 Total alkanity is 200 CYA is 30 pool is blue but foggy.. can see about a foot down, thats about it..just changed out my sand in my filter too.. any ideas?

Ok my new test 2nite is fc is 10 and CC is .5

Well I got home from work today and there is a white film on top of the water. I have no idea what its from. I"m gonna do another water test in a bit.

I got my TF-100 in today. Results are Chlorine is 13 Total Alkananity is 140 CYA is 30 PH is 6.8 Pool is blue in color but foggy Any suggestions?

I've put in 8 gallons of liquid chlorine and its still at 1 ..I'm using the 6 test, test strips

When I've been doing the backwashing looking threw the glass tube. Water seems to be clean the whole time. Even when i'm backwashing and rinsing

So, water still hasn't' cleared up yet. I was told that I might have to replace the sand in the filter??

Been backwashing a couple times a day..ok

Ok so I added another gallon of liquid chlorine My Ph lowered and is good chlorine is still at 1 Now my cyanuric acid is at 0.. what to do?

Ok just did a water test Total Hardness 200 Chlorine 1 Ph 8.4 Alkalinity 80-120 Cyanuric Acid 30-50 What do i need to do next? Keep adding liquid chlorine and more PH down and test and add and test and add? Just seems like 4 gallons is alot Pool has been running for 2 days now.

Do you need to keep adding chlorine as you are trying to clear the water up? My water test show everything is ideal except chlorine is 0 and ph is really really high...I added ph lower and more chlorine and it hasn't helped. Water test still shows chlorine 0 ph high and this has been 2 days of...

ok filled it up a little and it worked. Probably need to fill some more but it hopefully will be enough to keep it going all night. It was in between the lower and higher screws...closer to the lower though

ok..ill give it a try...when you do a backwash...how long do you usually do it for..couple seconds..couple minutes?

so i've been backwashing a few times today with no problems..tonight I went to do it again and i can't get it going again. Its doing the same thing it was doing when I tried to start it up the first time. I've been trying for like 45 min to get it going and nothing. The only thing i can think...

I've been up and running for like 24 hours now and its gone from dark green to light foggy green so I guess its working. Found 6 dead frogs in the skimmer this morning so I guess they don't like chemicals too much

Also, how long does it take for the water to register new chemicals that were added to the water with the filter running?

thanks for the info....so I should be backwashing frequently with these first couple of days?

How long do you have to leave the filter when you are shocking for the first time?
