It's a brand new filter and pump.

I do believe. It's close to there the intake is from the pump. I catch it too when I skim the floor.

Still Slamming and have a teal pool. Holding tight at 14 ppm Free Chlorine & 0 Free Chlorine. Should be FC be 0? My robotic cleaner is also picking up sand.

Phew thank you!!!

So I came back from our weekend vacay and I think my "helper" messed up. When I test my free chlorine, my sample turns red, not pink. I'm showing: FC 31.5, CC 1.5... Should I be freaking out? The water is still cloudy but I can see futher down.

CYA is an even 30! PH is also steady. Bombs away with the liquid chlorine!

Heres the start of the aeration! I wanted to be sure the first piece clamped on correctly. I'll install the other pieces once I get my waterline back up to where its supposed to be. Flowing beautifully. PH has also been adjusted to 7.2. Waiting until Friday to test my CYA since the calculator...

She's coming along! Thanks YippieSkippy!!!

Went to Lowes last night and made this contraption for an aerator. Cross your fingers it works. This will hopefully allow me to see my water flow in my outside cameras so I can check it out while I'm at work. I also added chlorine and adjusted the CYA. I was unable to test last night and...

Thanks Rocco! I didn't realize that! I'm going away this weekend so I'm sure my CL will drop below a 10 so I can retest on Sunday night.

Looks awesome!

Thanks Texas Splash. I'll get to Lowes tonight for PVC piping to aerate the flow. I'll also adjust my CYA and work from there. My water temp is 68 degrees.

Thanks, I did forget to add that my CYA was 20. I honestly don't think I raised the levels high enough to make more of a difference. My fault for being in a hurry!

So I've lost my brown pool pictures. Sorry every one. But with daily cleanings and nettings it changed from a brown to a green. I added a gallon of bleach each day as advised. My PH reading was out of range high, I suppose it was from the large amount of leaves in my pool. Ph was adjusted...

So, I've been fishing this stringy green substance from my pool. It looks like long strings of algae. Thoughts? Now that I've slammed my pool, the color of course has changed to a brown/white.

I'll get you some pictures tonight and upload so you can laugh at me. :) Thanks for the suggestion of adding bleach every day while I clean up. I'll be sure and grab some today after work. I'll need to lower my ph since it's considerably high. Then Slam it once I get the pump hooked up. I...

3rd year pool owner here. 1st year no issues. Last year we had a hard time opening up the pool until I realized that the CYA was over the limit. A partial drain did the trick. I live in Southern PA, and last year we received rain, rain, rain and more rain. We closed the pool when the pump...

Have you thought about buying a sand filter pump for your pool to upgrade from the cartridge? This should help your cloudy water later on once you get your pool opened up.
