    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    OK. Added. Pool temperature is currently 77 degrees. I'll check in an hour. When do I add liquid chlorine? Do I wait and test my numbers in an hour or keep working on CYA then add chlorine?

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    Ok. I read the thread articles and saw the pictures. I can find something to put it in and hang in the pool.

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    OK. I just added the Muriatic Acid to lower the pH. Do I wait and then put the stabilizer in next? I don't have a skimmer sock. My skimmer does have one on there already though. Here's a pic or should I find something and put in the actual pool

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    OK. I just came back with chemicals. I read before I use CYA that I should clean the filter is that true. Also my pool equipment has something to put in dichlor I believe. Is that for Calcium Hardness. Here's what I bought. I'll go check equipment. You mentioned using a sock near return so...

    Agree so I'm really trying to figure out what happened or how it could happen.

    There's definitely a small leak. You can see the weeping when the pool was empty. Hopefully they find it. Texas has thunderstorms all day today and rain tomorrow so monitoring

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    I think I have several places but just been told that it's rain and the rain was sitting. I assumed the grass was rotting in those areas from the rain sitting for long periods.

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    Yes. After the SLAM I held the rain pretty good. I think the drainage issues or whatever was going on was still affecting the pool. The house flooded near the walls of my bedroom and breakfast nook and now all the baseboards are peeling from the wall. I was about ready to rip out the whole pool...

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    Here's the numbers from the test I just did I don't have enough Muriatic Acid so will need to get more of that and whatever else. I think I've been more frustrated because this pool has been a lot. I'm coming up on having it one year. They finished on May 17th but had issues so it wasn't ready...

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    OK. Thanks. Just got home and I can test. The pump is OK. My pool builder was scheduled to come to the house to address drainage issues after I took pictures and videos from the storm. I left Wednesday morning at 5am. They came out Thursday afternoon and said the pool was empty and they thought...

    New Fill - Balance Chemicals

    Hello TFP Family I had some issues with heavy rain in my pool. Went out of town for my daughter's college graduation. Before I left I put 2 chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. When I came back 5 days later my pool was completely empty. Pool Builder is saying the top may have not been screwed...

    Attaching vacuum hose in skimmer

    No. Just that larger one should pull out and there should be another hole directly under that. You can't really see it with that longer one plugged in

    Attaching vacuum hose in skimmer

    Yes for mine I had to pull out that larger one then once that was out there was another hole under it that you use to insert the vacuum hose. I also had to turn the dial on the equipment to get the suction.

    Evening. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I did the SLAM another couple days. Just tested water today and FC is 8 ppm and CC is 0.5. Should I now consider researching and checking the other numbers (TA and CH) that are out of balance. It's going to rain here shortly with heavy thunderstorms...

    OK. My FC is 15 ppm and CC 0.5. That means I only lost 1 ppm from the last time when I tested which was 19 hours ago. Does this mean I officially and successfully completed my SLAM?
