Recently had the same issue in our vinyl AGP and the Magic Eraser did the trick!

You know the movie! You know the actor! But, the saying goes... "Alright, alright, alright!" :thumleft:

Other than the CYA which would be tough to do at this time of the day, can you go out and run all of your tests and post the results? If somehow your FC is above 10, don't worry about the pH because the results will be off. If FC is below 10, please test pH and post those as well. It really...

Can you post a picture of your test kit. Imgbb.com is a good picture hosting site.

I took one of the white-ish gray rubber plugs that came with our pool and cut a hole in it. I unscrewed the cover on the suction side not being used by the skimmer and put the modified plug over the hole and screwed the cap back. It slowed the suction on that side enough to make the skimmer...

I am sure it is because you are only able to test and dose twice a day. Do you have anyone available that could just add chlorine for you between the times you are able to? They wouldn't even need to test FC, just add some LC. I am sure by now you have determined how much you need to add when...

If your results are accurate, with a higher than 10 FC reading, your pH reading will be off. Check the FC in the morning and if it is below 10, check the pH again. Your CYA is low. I would use PoolMath to find out what you need to add to get from 20 to 30 and get that in the pool. I see you...

You're fighting high CYA and yet you are still using the tabs?

I'd add chlorine first.

.pdf was too large to attach, so here is a screen shot of the report. I'll do some looking around on those forums linked. Thanks for those. I have watched a lot of Lawn Care Nut's videos. He has helped greatly with my front yard. But, the back has been an issue and that is why I sent off...

I got to get on this to see the outcome.

Recently sent off a soil sample for my backyard and received the results. Looking for a good forum to do some research and maybe ask a few questions. I have spent the last 30 minutes searching around google, but didn't come up with anything that looked very active. Better yet, anyone here...

Beautiful!! As for testing the CYA, I do what was stated earlier. Mix your chemicals in the dispenser. Add enough drops to get to the 100 CYA mark on the tester. With your back to the sun, hold the tester at your waist. Look straight ahead and then glance down for a split second. If you...

Fify. :D

Keep it up. Don't forget to clean the filter!

Lower energy consumption and noise levels.

Wow, that is some nasty stuff. Keep back flushing the sand filter once the pressure gets up to 15 psi. Are you checking your chemical levels at all? Can you post some numbers?

Awesome work!!

Yes, you can stop paying for and using the chlorine tablets. They are OK for a short term use when you might be away and don't have anyone to add bleach/LC for you. But, don't overuse. They contain CYA and you need to keep that is a controllable range. Once CYA gets too high, you will be...

Save some future money and get a variable speed pump.

Yep, start another SLAM.

Good here now.

Win 7, IE, no pictures either.

That looks like a nice install! :thumleft: zea3 has you covered on the cover.

What kind of pool is it? Dimensions?

The leg probably sank. If you are going to drain it all the way, I'd suggest getting some pavers and put under each foot of the legs. Dig them down to level.

I don't know the answer to the first question, but the second, just wait. The sun will lower the chlorine for you. Do you have a tester to determine FC accurately? If you have an SWG, shut it off.

Difference between the two kits is the amount of reagents. The C having larger bottles.

Get some bleach and dump in there right away. The tabs are probably taking too long to dissolve to do you any good. They will raise CYA eventually, but not in a hurry.

Keeping on top of the FC is your only chance. What is your CYA numbers? Have you done any testing yourself? If so, can you post your numbers.
