I am looking to replace my sta-rite system 3 modular de filter that I used with my 27' above ground, 17,000 gallon pool. It came with the house when we bought it almost 17 years ago and the cartridge has finally worn out. I really liked this unit. It was easy to use and maintain. My typical...

I'm back. Some of you may have seen my previous post. I am having a heck of a time beating back an algae bloom. Or at least what my testing is telling me is one. I SLAMed for just over 8 days. Then I finally got a zero change in the OCLT test yesterday morning. I figured I'm done...

I have been slamming my pool since 8/21. And almost eight days in and I can’t seem to get ahead. How much longer is this going to take? (I know, it probably takes what it takes) but I have never gone this long before when doing this. Plus, my pool water is crystal clear, my CC reading is...

I started SLAMing my pool this past Sunday. I thought we were making progress. I wasn’t seeing an improvement in the overnight chlorine test. Then we had torrential rains one afternoon (around 2”-3”) and the next day we got another 0.25” - 0.5” of rain. There was no sun during those two...

Hi Everyone! I am trying to determine if I have an algae bloom. My water is crystal clear. It looks good. My biggest issue has been that I can’t seem to get the pH lower (it’s on the verge of high) and the TA higher (it’s on the verge of low). No sign of algae on the steps. about three or...

How do I know if I have an algae bloom starting? I had to go out of town unexpectedly on Friday and when I returned, my chlorine was zero. There was no issues prior to this and my pool chemistry was normal. While I was gone, a lot of cr*p (literally and figuratively as we are knee deep in...

I have been SLAMming my pool for a week. Sunday night I tested my chlorine at night and then the next morning and I didn't lose any chlorine over night! Yahoo....I am done! Or so I thought. I did the OCLT test one more time last night make sure things were good and this morning I tested and...

Hi Everyone, I am having an algae problem in our pool. It wasn't real bad but there was noticeable green on the bottom of the pool. On Monday I started SLAMming my pool. Three days later and I am seeing inconsistent results. One morning my FC will have dropped 1.5 ppm, the next 3 ppm. How...

Hi Everyone, I have 27' round above ground pool with a brand new liner. About 4 weeks ago or so I noticed some algae on the bottom. Very light and if you weren't looking right at it you wouldn't see it. I shocked my pool, brushed the pool and vacuumed. Everything seemed okay. A week later...
