Thank you!

Can an option be added for 81 oz bleach jugs? There are alot available in that size in my area and less in the 128 oz size.

FC = 25 CC = 0 TC = 25 TA = 210 CYA = 80 CH = 350 ph = 7.8

Yes the pool is as clear as it has ever been. My cell phone just isn't showing it well. Will all the tests be accurate now or do I need to wait for the FC level to drop closer to normal levels first?

Did you mean the FC level or to go ahead and do all the tests again?

I've been maintaining the FC around 40.

I believe I'm meeting all 3 criteria now. My cell phone can't seem to take good pictures of the pool. The water is clear, the liner isn't white to make it look as clear as it really is. There are pebble sized dots on the bottom and they are very clear to see with my eyes but doesn't pickup...

Even though the FC seemed to hold overnight well, I'm going to keep the levels up since it isn't completely clear yet. But it is continuing to get better. Thanks everyone for all the help.

Ok, last night at 7:00 pm FC measured 41 and this morning at 8:30 am it measured 40. Here is a couple pictures from this morning, it is still raining some and overcast so the pictures aren't great.

With the rain I have been getting all day since last night, should I test the CYA level again or will it not be accurate during a SLAM?

Thanks! Only brushed it once yesterday. I go do that now and then add more bleach to bring it back up. Pump was on all night and still is, I'll leave it on until the SLAM is done. I work from home but have calls all day long, so I'll be running out in between calls as I can to maintain it.

So over night the FC dropped from 43 to 38 but it had been raining over night too. I don't think the pool really looks green, I think it is just cloudy? Here is a picture from this morning to compare to the previous one I posted yesterday. Should I bring the level back up again or do other...

Yes I planned on keep the pump on all night as well.

Well it has held the FC level for 3 hours now. I'll check it again in a couple hours and then first thing in the morning.

Yes it is an interesting little pool. When I was with the realtor looking at houses I laughed the first time I saw the pool. I wasn't really looking for a house with a pool but figured it would be nice to have to relax in sometimes since I don't really swim laps or have kids at home any more...

Here is the current state of my little pool. Not too green to start with but can't see the cleaner at the bottom too well. And no there isn't a tablet in the chlorine floater, I just haven't taken it out of the pool. And the hose isn't on just haven't pulled it out since refilling it. By the...

ph was 7.5. Ok, I'll check it more frequently then. Thanks!

I tested CYA with 50% pool water and 50% tap water and it read 50, so I guess it really was 100 with just the pool water. I added the 189 oz of bleach 3 hours ago and just rechecked the level. The FC was at 26 so I added another 65 oz to get the level closer to target of 39. I'll test again...

Thanks for the quick replies. I added the MA, how long should I wait to test ph again? According to the PoolMath my normal target is 4 for FC but for shock is 39. So I should put 39 in the target right? If so, it is saying 189 oz of 8.25% bleach. Is there anything else to SLAM the pool? I...

The pool has a very slight green tint to it. It was greener when I first bought the house and was able to clear it up spending a bunch of money at Pinch a Penny. So I'm confident it can be cleared up again without draining. Should I put any bleach in it while I get the ph down?

So after having motor and impeller issues and getting those resolved and then being out of town 2 weeks, I needed to start over with the water and chemicals as the water had turned green and CYA was at least 200. I drained about 85% of the water out and refilled it with city water (can't wait...

OK new correct size impeller installed, new gaskets installed and new basket lid installed. Temperature seems normal for the motor, pressure on filter dropped from 16 to 14 psi. Thanks again to everyone on here. So here is a picture comparing the two impellers. The 3/4 hp correct one for my...

So my assumption that it was trying to pump too much water was correct I guess. I think after getting this running properly again I'll read the guides on maintaining the chemicals correctly myself with a test kit. I've lost trust in Pinch-A-Penny and wonder if they are having me add chemicals...

I pulled out my receipt from Pinch-A-Penny who I had replace the impeller. They did put in the wrong one. I just assumed they would know which one to put in since I gave them the exact model number off the pump SP3007X10AZ. According to Hayward's manual for the pump it should have impeller...

So Amazon's response was that it was under review because "Customer Issue: The customer keeps receiving the 1 hp instead of the 1-1/2 horse power". I did notice that in the reviews. But the listing is for a 1 HP motor so I guess that person just can't read.

I noticed that when I went to get the link to it. I've contacted Amazon to see what exactly the issue is. Tomorrow I'll take the pump apart to check the gaskets again.

The flapper opens but doesn't lay down all the way. I was pushing it down flat to allow more water to flow thru to see what would happen. This is the motor that I got. Amazon.com : Hayward SPX1607Z1M Motor Replacement for Select Hayward Pump, 1 HP MAXRATE MOTOR : Swimming Pool And Spa...

The motor is getting hot not the pump. I verified the voltage at 120 volts at the box using a multi-meter and the motor jumper was set to the 115 volt setting before installing it. I've uploaded a video of the pump and skimmer. It seemed to have more air/bubbles in the pump basket lid this...

Thanks for the response. No debris around the motor and the vents are pointing down. The old motor was set to 115 so I set the new one to that too. I'll check the voltage at the box to verify what is being supplied. I did just notice the it almost sounds like cavitation at the skimmer. If I...
