    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    I don't think a deep clean is doable here. In this photo it looks like the pipe is glued in two places. I could probably unscrew the coupler farther down, but it goes past the shutoff valve, so wouldn't the water just flow out of my pool? The other pipe seems easy enough. Just loosen the...

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    I can't take this all apart. It'll never go back together. Pool ownership isn't for me. Not everyone can do it. - - - Updated - - - I've read through that a dozen times. There isn't a single instruction on how to actually take anything apart. Id be guessing. Look where guessing has gotten me...

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    I can't. I have to add more water again. - - - Updated - - - I don't mind waiting if things get better. It's not getting better. I've waited long enough. Time to floc this sucker. - - - Updated - - - Forget it. I'm beat. I'll do all that tomorrow. For now I'll do yet another test and waste...

    Ugh. Soaked again, just after I showered from last time too. I am so done with this.

    Is it true I should be rinsing after backwashing? I haven't been.

    Got soaked again. Why can't I do anything with this without it blowing up on me?

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Sorry, probably should have noted that in that picture, it was before I actually screwed it down. It lifts even when screwed, but not even close to that much. Vacuumed for about an hour. Didn't make a difference, but I'll do some more later. Starting to feel doubtful about the whole thing again...

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Wow! That was a lot colder than I had anticipated. Ok, let's try vacuuming again. About the stairs, it looks like the previous owners were just screwing them in at the top. I noticed that this method doesn't hold them down very well. Is this he correct way to do it?

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Well, now I'm in a bit of a situation. I made some mistakes while trying to vacuum the pool, let's just say didn't go well. Now my pole and vacuum or at the bottom of the pool...soooooo...now what?

    I actually thought about doing that, but wasn't sure if it would hurt anything. I'll see what I can find.

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    FC is 18 and CC is barely registering, but we'll call it .5. FC only dropped half a point over night. Still just a cloudy as yesterday though. I think my chances of swimming this weekend went out the window.

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    It's amazing. I compared a photo of my pole in the water from yesterday to how it looks now and it's 200% clearer. Still more to go, but wow...I couldn't be happier! - - - Updated - - - Should I still be slamming at this point?
