Hi all, I have a 4th of July party coming in 3 hours and opened the solar cover to see a cloudy pool. For the first time in 2 years! What's going on??? There is a slight green tint to the dirt on the bottom as I clean and brush. FC 6 CYA 50 PH 7.5 TA 100 OCLT from last night til l this...

Hey guys! First off I'd like to say thanks to all the support over the last 2 years I opened my pool this season to a perfectly balanced and clear paradise! Anyway, with all the free time I had not worrying about chemicals, I made a new fountain. It's not done yet as I will be adding a...

Hey guys, I need some help. I went on a day trip and thought for sure I'd be okay with getting my FC up to 8 and it'd be at around 4 when I got back. Ad other times I have done this. Well, either the water temp being 92 or something else, I got home last night and it was a little cloudy with a...

Hey guys! Haven't been on here much this year as my pool is sparkling beautiful and have been enjoying it. But anyway, my buddy bought himself a 24' x 54" AGP. They will be installing next week and it is on a slight hill (about 2.5'.) The contractor is charging $40 an inch to simply remove...

I had a box of chemicals given to me by a neighbor who tore down his pool last season. Included was this shock that he said "worked wonders" and "cleared up" his pool. He also said just pour it in and that's all you need. Of course I know that is not true but since I have about 15 pounds of this...

Hey guys I havnt been able to find a forum relating to this specific issue I may be having. I have a 21' x 52" dual main drain agp. In going to be installing a new liner this Thursday (hopefully) I have no water in the pool at this time and the old liner is almost all removed. Over the winter...

Hey all, Good to be back on TFPC I learned a lot last season and had a great beautiful summer. Well, over the winter I had an issue and well my liner is now shredded with no water in the pool. I don't think I'm going to be able to replace it myself. I live in northwest Indiana. Is there anyone...

I have an AGP and live in a cold climate. Last week we had a period of warm weather and noticed what I thought was the water level going down. Yesterday I looked again and with it colder again there is probably about 2 feet of frozen water in the pool now. In the fall it was my first closing...

First year closing the pool, 10000 gal. it has 2 bottom drains. The drains lead to a pipe coming out of the ground near the equipment. there is currently a hayward 3 way valve connected to it leading to skimmer and pump. the previous homeowners left a cap for the bottom drain pipe with a...

I read through pool school and know the ABCs but I just want to be sure I've got it right. I just opened an hour ago and got the filter running. I'm about to vacuum, but when do I start adding cya? The water is mostly clear just some dirt on thebottom. It tested low everything this morning. So...

The AGP came with the house I just bought and I'm learning a lot from this forum. I was told by the seller that it has a dual bottom main drain excellent for keeping it clean. My concern is not only how to plumb it but also how to winterize the line. The winters are brutal where I live so I...

Hey everyone, I purchased a house in the winter and am trying to tackle the pool it came with. I was told by the seller that the heater worked and the next door neighbor told me the people renting the house broke it without the seller knowing. So I don't know if it works or not. I plugged it in...

Hey everyone, I just bought a house 3 months ago and low and behold it came with a 22' AGP I didn't know ANYTHING about pools. I have done a good deal of research and watched all the pool school videos but haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the plumbing yet. There is probably 20' of...
