The polaris 480 appears to be like their 380, which is a pressure side cleaner these require a dedicated pressure line and a dedicated booster pump in order to work. If you don't have these installed already this could be complicated depending on your setup. Sent via Tapatalk...

I have had shocking sessions last a week our two without seeing any CC's out isn't very clear to med why it happens that sometimes you see higher CC's and other times you don't. Sent via Tapatalk...

It took me time to find it myself. In an older version I think it was more obvious. Sent via Tapatalk...

If your test won't go up to 13 then you need a FAS-DPD test to add to what you have or a new test kit. The process requires a high precision test that can measure at shock levels and give repeatable results with at least 0.5ppm accuracy and precision. Sent via Tapatalk...

Cover in the day, no cover at night...reflective if anyone makes one. Evaporative spray heads Solar panels at night only Sent via Tapatalk...

For now while you are waiting you can try diluting the pool water with distilled water (1 part pool water and 2 parts distilled water) and re-testing the chlorine, it isn't very accurate but it may help you keep the processes close to on track for now... Sent via Tapatalk...

Been there, done that. Your plan is smart. Sent via Tapatalk...

Asking if x gallons is ok is a little like asking how much concrete do I need for my driveway without knowing the dimensions, no one can answer. As you shock, measure and check again until you reach the shock level. Check again every few hours... Repeat until you pass the criteria to stop...

Keep the faith, you've made a lot of progress right? Be patient, try again tonight and post results. Sent via Tapatalk...

30 CYA is perfect for shocking. Don't raise it any higher until you are done with clearing the pool. Sent via Tapatalk...

I have seen people use a long PVC pipe open on both ends to get their sample: Hand over the top, insert pipe into water until the bottom is at the depth needed. Take hand off, water goes into pipe. Hand back on top, lift pipe out of water. Drain pipe into bowl or other container our directly...

Valves look correct to me. Sent via Tapatalk...

140 CYA is the problem. The CYA makes a lot of your chlorine unavailable to fight algae and other nasties. Take a stroll through pool school and come back with questions - we can help. category.php?c=getting_started Sent via Tapatalk...

Read some of the swamp clearing threads... Inspiration awaits! Sent via Tapatalk...

Something that may have been lost in other posts, you can overshoot the shock target level a little which may help. Sent via Tapatalk...

Once you have the test kit you can fully follow the shock process and the cloudy will go away also. Sent via Tapatalk...

If not crystal clear keep shocking... Sent via Tapatalk...

To properly shock you need that FAS-DPD test, without it you are guessing. It is easy to overshoot or overshoot and waste time and money... Sent via Tapatalk...

It is easy to get lost! Each pool it's different and without good reliable repeatable test results it is hard to advise what to do. The best thing to do right now is to read pool school. I'm certain that this will lead to questions but it is a great starting place. Sent via Tapatalk...

If you have a test kit with FAS-DPD chlorine test you can run an over night chlorine loss test. That test is most accurate at shock levels but is ok to run at non-shock levels for a quick test. The longer the pool water sat without chlorine the more you are at risk for something growing. Sent...

I thought we advised using the salt test strips in most cases. For other chemistry I agree. Sent via Tapatalk...

As you get more experience with your pool you will learn how much it trends to lose in various seasons and weather. I ignore the targets on charts and use my own experience to help me set my chlorination pattern. Other than shocking I don't usually use the FAS-DPD daily, but that's just my...

It's a trade off. Higher CYA lowers FC losses allowing the SWG to work less to keep up. The consistent chlorination of the SWG reduces the risk of allowing algae to get a foothold, so the higher CYA is not as risky. Sent via Tapatalk...

That reminds me of someone who wanted to know at what psi would his truck float on water if he filled the tires with helium! Sent via Tapatalk...
