I am slamming the pool! The overnight chlorine test dropped 1.5 i think there must have been algae somewhere although I couldn't ever see it. Thank you everyone for the advice.

thank you! it was very high as i have already replaced 50% 3 days ago

I will have to perform the overnight chlorine test after I refill

And the pump

As you wish!

i am relacing 30% as we speak. once I have the CYA in check I will slam the pool! thank you for your help

i will say i typed in the CC wrong. that is .5

Thank you

Pool is still clear. I put in 1 gallon of liquid shock per pool math yesterday. Here are the numbers today. Fc 1.5 Cc 1.5 Ph 7.3 Cya 80 but could be 90 Ta 90 Ch 75 I am concerned as to what after adding a gallon of shock to bring fc to 9 is it completely depleted today? Or at least back down...

a curious question. i see lots of you here use SWCG on their pools. are you able to use this on an above ground steel pool? I thought I read that it is not recommended due to salt corrosion.

I weigh the steps down with sealed PVC pipes full of sand. I have 2 strapped to the underside of the steps.

thank you for that information. worth considering.

Sure my pump is just a single speed though. so my question would be that I understand that running 24/7 is optimal but with cost is it ok to run it 12 hours a day? I don't believe the pool store anymore so.....

it does not, I have to add water during the summer. I had another questions. I have been running the filter 24/7 atm. I usually run it from 7am to 7pm. is this a good range to run the filter? I will check the CYA again tomorrow but I filled to the 70 line and couldnt see the dot at a glance...

ok everyone thank you again for the advice. Here is where I am at. I got the TF-pro test kit and I have been while waiting putting in 5ppm liquid chlorine in to the pool at night and running the filter 24/7. I have pulled out all of the trichlor tabs I had in the chlorinator and had already shut...

when it tells you to add a scoop of powder if it turns brown or doesn't turn pink can you only do that once? in other words one more scoop

thank you

Thank you for the advice, definitely makes sense, just wish i had known this when i started 4 years ago. i like many just listened to the pool store and what they said to do. i got my test kit today, i am reading up on how to use it. some initial results the free chlorine - this was hard I...

thank you for the advice.

one more day of putting in the 5ppm liquid chlorine and today even the slight tinge is gone! the water is back to crystal clear, I am still guarded until i get my test kit but it must be a good thing that it is back to being so clear. so a couple of questions. once everything is in balance, do...

Here are the pictures from tonight.

Yes I totally am finding that out. As I said the test kit cant get here soon enough! Come on Friday

I will say tonight as I came home the pool looks relatively clear. maybe a tinge in the water, is there a way to upload pictures here?

I never even thought about that. the total chlorine on the strip shows up as high but the free chlorine on the strip shows none. but like you said it could just be because of that.

thank you all for your reply's. as I said the test kit cant come soon enough! I will add the liquid chlorine daily until then and vac if i see it needs it. I don't see anything currently on the bottom etc. as far as the Bioguard chemicals I have been using they are as follows, weekly Bioguard...

I may be bringing this issue here a little too early. Since opening my pool this year the water had turned cloudy on the second day. I am someone that has always taken the water to the pool store to have it tested and in between even used strips to keep an eye on the chemistry. After this...
