    Pollen, dirt, or algae?

    FC: 4.5 CC: 0 PA: 7.6 TA: 90 CYA: 55 FC was 5 last night and I ran the pump overnight w/ the SWCG off. Our water is a bit murky and we have a fine yellowish powder in the water. It's been like this for a week or so. Do you guys think it's pollen or should I SLAM? SLAMing didn't make sense as my...

    Best way to top off without paying for water hauling truck?

    I just got my pool (salt water) this summer and had to refill once at a cost of $350 for ~4-6,000 gallons. This sucks, especially since I got like zero rain all of July.

    New to the site and excited for my inground pool in the fall of 2017

    I there. This is a great community and I've already learned about deep cleaning a sand filter and a few other things that will be very helpful as a new pool owner. I subscript to reddit.com/r/pools, but there's a lot more activity here than there is on reddit. I'm looking at a 16'x36' inground...
