    Yeah, I've got my sand and CYA on hand. That's my Monday project. Question. Is it OK to turn the pump off Sunday to allow more settlement for a second round of vacuuming and sand change on Monday?

    I'm now 17 bottles in. Beginning to see a lot less FC loss and clearer water. I plan on vacuuming today now that I can see the bottom of the pool. I'm hoping to meet the Overnight Test by Sunday night. Thanks for all the help.

    I'm plowing ahead. Up to 15 bottles and finally starting to see some stabilization. I had to go to work so she's on her own for a few hours.

    Thanks for the feedback. 2/3 is real close to 16-18". Not sure I feel real comfortable watching it without a second or third set of eyes helping as I get that close. But I appreciate the feedback and help.

    4th year on Baqaucil and I'm done. Appears that I have white mold and have spent the better part or 2 weeks trying everything to remove it. Found this site and have decided to go chlorine. I've read the how to, however, some the links are dead. Anyone have updated links scratched out in...
