Added CYA. I massaged the socks a lot and it disolved very quick. I used pool math to get it to 30-40 CYA and I'm at 55? Could it be reading high because it isn't fully disolved yet? My FC isn't dropping too fast. I'm keeping FC over 20. I scrubbed the pool thoroughly and changed my DE for the...

Thanks a lot!

Do you know the brand/model of the stairs? Mind sharing a pic?

My test kit came early. Here are my results: FC-7.4 CC-0.4 pH-8.0. Acid Demand: 2 Drops TA-100 CYA-0 (could clearly see black dot with full vial) From what I understand, I need to get my pH down to 7.2-7.4 and get my CYA up to 30 or 40. And then begin the slam. The pool is still green. I...

Wedding cake or something like that. Not s ladder. Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking for advice and recommendations for drop in style steps for an inground pool. Does anyone have these that they've been happy with? I'm a new owner and there was a set with the house but I gave them away because they were pretty beat. The liner is only 2 years old so Installing new...

That sounds like a great plan that I can follow!

Since my original post... My dad lives next door and had dumped 4 more bottles of bleach into the pool (this afternoon). Tonight, i vacuumed to waste. I got the Ph up to 6.8 with about 110 oz of washing soda. So I added another 55 oz. just now. Will check in morning. I also have. TA of 80. I...

And thank you for all the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. I understand the filter now. I do not have a multi port valve. Just a 'bump' handle for recharging. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. Texas, Will my algae not get out of control without chlorine for a week? Should I leave the 'floater/tablets' in? It seems like I'm making so much progress. It seems counter intuitive to stop now just to wait for a test kit. I'm not doubting. Just looking for an education. should...

I'm a brand new pool owner and opening for the first time. I'm learning quick (sometimes the hard way). I uncovered the pool Saturday to find a BLACK SWAMP. I think the last owners knew it wasn't going to be their problem and closed it (in 2015 BTW) with leaves in the bottom. I also lost some...

Correct, I plugged both holes in the skimmer bottom. It looks like more digging to be done today.

I'm losing about 2" in 12 hours overnight. Based on my pool shape, that's about 1 GPM. Or 60 gallons per hour as you said. Evaporation is not the issue. I'm sure of that. Should my pump basket be completely full of water? I believe I can see water churning in it. It is running quiet and...

Thanks! I am a total newbie pool owner. I've found this site extremely helpful and every google search I've had has led me here. Being a newb, what does air in the basket look like? Also, could a suction side leak also cause loss of water? Have I isolated the problem to the pressure side since...

Also, when I excavated the pipes, I only exposed them to the top of pipe and observed for a while. Again, I figured 1 gpm would be easy to spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am losing water at approximately 1 GPM but don't know where! I've ruled out the liner by plugging the suction and return lines last night. No water was lost overnight. Not to mention the liner is only 2 years old. I am preparing for a new concrete deck so the timing to fix a leak is good...
