Couple of things going on here. Had an algae outbreak, noticeable mostly on the eroding areas of the marcite, as seen here:[attachment=2:37rb04en]Pictures 415.jpg[/attachment:37rb04en] I thought I was putting enough chlorine in to take care of it, but took a water sample to the pool store and...

Recently purchased a house with an inground pool, and the finish is rather unsightly. Can someone tell me what the heck is going on here?? Thanks![attachment=1:fd43xlwr]Pictures 414.jpg[/attachment:fd43xlwr][attachment=0:fd43xlwr]Pictures 415.jpg[/attachment:fd43xlwr]

Took a water sample to the pool store today (since I left my TF-100 test kit at the old house :hammer: ), here are the results: FC 0.0 pH 8.0 TA 125 CH 450 CYA 100 Water is clear, and I've been chlorinating with liquid chlorine for the last few weeks to get rid of the algae...

I can't seem to get my water to be sparkling clear. It's been cloudy for several days now and I'm not sure what to do. Here are my #'s: FC & TC - 4, pH - 7.7, TA - 140, CH - 150, CYA - 23. Can't seem to get that CYA up either. Help! Thanks! Bryan

I used a flocculent and now almost all of the dead algae has collected in an 8' circle in the middle of the pool. What's the best way to get it out without stirring it up and clouding the water again? Thanks!

I just wanted to thank TFP for opening my eyes to the BBB method. This was our third summer with a pool, and last year just about made me decide to take it out and put in a garden. I think I spent more time at the pool store than in the pool. Then I found this site and decided to give it a...

Swam in the pool last Sunday (6/22) and the water looked great. Then it rained a couple of days last week and I wasn't home one single night to clean/brush/etc. Pulled the solar blanket off Saturday morning and whammo: nice green murky water. And wouldn't you know it, I was leaving town at...

Hello all! I've been reading all of the posts on this forum and I think I will try the BBB method this year. I put in a new liner and filled the pool yesterday. I haven't been able to find any past posts about starting up using the BBB way with fresh water. Do I need to bring the chlorine up...
