We opened the pool a few weeks ago, the water off the cover got into the pool (brown water from decayed leaves), vac what little debris that was in the bottom. Bleach, Bleach, Bleach, now the pool is clear but....about alittle more than 1/2 way to the deep end, then it is cloudy, you can see...

I use the old bleach jugs, I fill them with water and put them about 2' apart. I set them on the cover back about 2-3' from the waters edge. I used the water bags too but within a few days at least 1 side was already empty & I bought them brand new to use this past winter.

Just joined the TFP facebook page, thanks for all ya'll's help!!!!

Me again:{ I had my pool water checked because it is alittle cloudy and I had some alge forming and shocked and apparently over chlorinated. Good news I dont have anymore alge. my readings are: free chlorine- 9.4 total chlorine- 9.4 combine chlorine-...

Well, we had our pool party, only about 15 showed up, my combined chlorine has been alittle high so we have not shocked or added any bleach for several days. my readings are Free Chlorine 6.3 ppm Total Chlorine 7.1 ppm Combined Chlorine 0.8 ppm ph 7.8 hardness 70 ppm alkalinity 100 ppm...

Thank you. I hope I didnt sound pushy or ungrateful. I'm trying to figure this all out and keep from having problems. I kind of figured alot of people are out of town. Thanks for your help. Have a great weekend/holiday. Deb:}

I am guessing everyone is out of town or something for the weekend. Would someone when they get time please answer my questions? I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

We shocked the pool again last night, took my sample to the pool store this morning to be tested new readings are as follows: free chlorine 7.7 ppm total chlorine 7.7 ppm combined chlorine 0.0 ppm ph 7.5 hardness 140 ppm alkalinity...

Should I wait until Thursday so it will be a week on the stablizer and get the water re-checked before having to buy more? The pool place told me I need: 38# of calcium hardness increaser 4#4oz Cal Hypo Shock 2# non chlorine shock 5# stablizer of course I am not going to follow their...

we added 7# of stablizer in the skimmer & about 1# threw on top of the water on Thursday 5/20 + 2#'s of shock, we had a hard rain and the pool water was almost level to the top, covering the skimmer basket, so we thought we had to drain some (hopefully I didnt lose my stablizer by doing this)...

Thank you so much everyone for your help, we figured out what was wrong with the vac, the diaphram was not put back in right after someone uncloged it. working great, doing his job cleaning the pool. I didnt have the money untill I get paid tonight to get the stablizer so i put in 2 bags of...

I looked at Walmart and didnt see any stablizer, the pool store wants to sell me 8# bucket for $25.00, says I need to add at least 6-8# and should not have to add anymore all season (only suposed to have to add 1x per year)?? I will look in Gadsden tonight, 2 of the others Walmarts didnt have...

I need to bring up the CYA (Stablizer)? 77 oz of stablizer??? you have to purchase this at the pool store correct? (is this the only thing that has to be bought there)???? need to raise the FC to 3.7 (191 oz of bleach)????? on the pool calculator I figured my pool is 16x32x6' average depth...

Its not the skimmer that the water drains empty its the basket on the end of the pump motor, soom as we get the vac hose full of water and hooked into the skimmer basket the pump motor basket goes dry and the gauge goes to 0. ?????? Thanks

still having the problem with the filter and trying to vacum. (please advise)??? just had the new water tested: free chlorine 0.0 total chlorine 0.0 combined chlorine 0.0 ph 7.6 hardness 110 alkalinity 110 cyanuric acid 5 copper 0 I am going to try the pool caculator to see...

ok hose is full of water but the pump wont stay primed.( wont keep wter in it at all). when i take the kreepey off i have to shut off the pump to get water to go back into it it will not prime its self.

Thank all of you:} The pool is full (took forever), I will get a sample and post the readings. I dont have the good pool kit yet, have to wait until I get paid this week to order it. There is a small bit of debris in the deep end, we tried to hook up the creepy crawly but when we hook the...

Last summer I spent over $500.00 trying to clear up the pool and was never able to get it clear. I am hoping there is no damage to the liner, it is looking really good so far. Got all the old water out by midnight Friday night, then started running the hose immediatly, been on all night and...

too late, sorry, drained and 1/2 refilled.

we decided to just drain the pool. we will start refilling tomarrow. what will we need to put in the water after we refill the pool? do i need to test and get you the readings & go from there? a pool guy came by my house about a new salt water generator i am selling and he told me it would be...

from the pool caculator i got the above info (or at least with what i put in the pool cal. this is what i understand what i need to add to the pool), if that is the correct amount then when do i need to test again and start adding bleach? thanks

that would be 13-1/2 boxes of baking soda (2# boxes) & 13 oz ma right.

I had figured out that I needed the baking soda to raise the TA & the MA to lower the PH but couldnt get the pool calculator to work. It had said to enter info in the orange area, the only orange area on my screen is where you put the pool gallons?? If you wouldnt mind please tell me the...

Help please! We were uncovering the pool a week ago, water was clear (dead alge on the bottom), corner of the cover sliped into the pool putting in some leaves and crud, fished the debris from the bottom, (lokks like swamp now), hooked up new sand filter w/new sand, filtering swamp water...

Just wondering how much chlorine is safe to add without damaging the vinyl liner? When I remove the cover should I test my water and give you the numbers so you can tell me what I will need to ad? Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response. I am heading to Walmart now. I will brush the pool this afternoon and ad the 5 bottles this evening. DO I need to do this same thing everyday? Is it 10 psi that I am suposed to backwash? My daughter has been trying to take care of the pool and I have been...
