    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    I stuck the pole in and slowly lowered it. I do feel like I can see farther down than I could before...so maybe it's clearing up? The sight glass is clear now...should it not be?

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Yeah, that's ok. I'm just thinking in terms of "nothing else is clearing this water, so let's try this." Only as a last resort. I think it'll clear on its own, but I'm preparing for the worst. Yes, huge thanks to CJ. We probably would have been done sooner bad I not totally flubbed the size of...

    Is floc and coagulant the same thing? I thought floc dropped he particles to the bottom while coagulant just bound the particles together for the filter to pull in.

    Cool. I'm down with waiting a bit. But if a week from today it's still cloudy, I might be inclined to try it. Backwash sounds good. I will schedule that for this weekend. Thabks to everyone for your help here. I couldn't have gotten here without you.

    To bind all the particles to make it easier for the filter to pick it up?

    That I can live with, as long as I get to go swimming at least a couple of times before I have to close it. Swimming season up here ends soon...

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Ok then, 9.7 ounces of stabilizer is in and now adding 69 ounces of bleach. If all is correct, that should get me to 37CYA and 16FC. - - - Updated - - - Sound ok?

    The Return of the Pool That Just Won't Die

    Yes sir. It's a test to see if there's gunk in the pool still eating up chlorine. Should I continue to slam as of now? Should I get my stabilizer up to 40?

    No moveable eyeball on the return, but if you think it would be beneficial I'd totally buy one. I do not check CCs. Do you think I should? I'd be happy to if you think it's worth it at this point. I'll run home for lunch and do a quick CYA test. Hopefully I can catch some sun.

    So don't do it right this moment, but maybe at a later date? - - - Updated - - - The cloudiness of the water is still an issue, but as CJ says, probably a patience issue. ;)

    I'll admit, taking this thing apart has me more than a little nervous. Maybe a project for this weekend?
