Will do! Thanks so much!

Thank you! I will add the borax. The puck did show organic material so I need to slam correct? I'm just not sure if slamming will work with only being able to text once per day? Thanks so much!

Thank you! Ugh! I need this stain gone in 5 days! BUT I cannot do another slam b/c we're not living in the house & I can't get here twice per day to test! Any recommendations? How much borax should I add? Are my levels 0 based on the testing? What do I need to bring them to? What FC level? Shock...

My #'s are BAD & I'm all confused! FC-barely turned pink, so .5? CC-barely turned pink, so .5 as well? PH-bright yellow- not on chart? TA-added added 5 drops R008, turned pink not green? What in the world? I slammed it right I know. U guys helped me do one last year & I did very well. No...

Awesome! Thanks! I read through that & will try today! Appreciate it!

image | nicolemclemore | Flickr Hello, I finished a 2 1/2 week slam about a week ago & got the pool crystal clear, passed overnight test. Now this appears in the bottom, only on one side, won't brush off? Any suggestions? It's not sand, & it's in the sunniest part of the pool so could it still...

Thank you! It just doesn't seem to go away when brushing & ive never had that happen before? Here's a couple of pics... image | nicolemclemore | Flickr image | nicolemclemore | Flickr

Hello, you guys helped me clean up a foreclosure SWAMP a couple of years ago. Now I'm slamming my own pool b/c the nasty cover was dumped in the pool :( It's been 1 week & it's coming along. BUT for some reason there's a green tint on the liner? Water is clear, the only place there is no green...

I'm an idiot!! I had 300k gallons in the calculator! Thanks for your responses! Sorry for the trouble! - - - Updated - - - Gwegan, just curious about the mixing of Triclor & stabilizer. Is it b/c the Triclor raises the CYA? I guess I've never had a problem since the pools in my area are only...

The pool is only opened about 4 months per year. I've used Triclor for 10 years in a different pool in the area with no problems whatsoever. Pool is around 30k gallons, target of 20 to start. I used pool math. I added about 8 lbs CYA with sock method once pool was filled. I believe the...

Am I doing something wrong with my K-2006 test kit? New liner with new water last month, using Tricholr, added stabilizer (sock method) and Tricholr tabs. Water is still crystal clear. But today I retested & calculator says I need over 800 oz of stabilizer. Is that right? FC-1 CC-0 PH-7.3 TA-80...

Can anyone identify these lights by the photo? I'm guessing they are Pentair since the unit is, but I'm not sure? Pool light | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Could be these? http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/GloBriteColorLEDEngOM.pdf I'm not sure?

Yep! :)

SEE! That's why I come HERE for advise :) I will dig around the internet some more for a manual. Thank you!

Hi everyone! You guys helped me get this terrible swamp pool all cleared up & ready to list the house for sale. WELL, now I have a leak! I've read through a lot of articles & posts & used food coloring to check and I believe it's coming from both of these Pentair lights. I called the pool store...

Re: Tested with K-2006 & need help please I AM so sad! The little one is really sad because "ours doesn't have a diving board". At least we still have our little AG oasis that I will be switching to TFP!!! And the house is across the street so maybe we'll get some nice new neighbors...

Thank you all so much!!!!!!!

I can't thank you all enough! I will becoming a supporter when we get this house sold! Right now we are almost eating Raman noodles! Ha! I just have one more question & want to make sure I'm clear on slamming if you don't mind... I see slamming shows to vac/and or brush the pool & backwash as...

Thank you! I will try it. I need another inch or so��

Thank you! Good luck with yours! Let me know if you'd like the names of the manufactures that responded. There were 4 :)

Re: Tested with K-2006 & need help please - - - Updated - - - Thanks Pat! I'll do the overnight test just to confirm. Thanks again for all of your help!

Re: Tested with K-2006 & need help please It's very cloudy today, but this gives you an idea, it's much better than the black swamp I started with! Now- Untitled | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Swamp- Pool | Flickr - Photo Sharing! - - - Updated - - - Thanks Pat! I guess that's my...

He! He! Marian! Here's what I got this morning: FC-10 CC-.5 PH-7.0 TA-60 CYA- added 4 lbs using sock method, will retest later Its cloudy & rainy here today, maybe that will help a little. Thank you all again!!!!!!

Thank you! I've been vacuuming on waste &/or brushing at least every other day. The pool was BLACK when we started. I don't think there's too much left in the bottom, but I'm working to get it all out. Thanks for your help :)

Thank you so much for all of your help! Have a great night!

Ok, I should add that I can now clearly see the shallow end as well as some down the ramp. TA test shows 20, no CYA showing. The pool calculator show to add 77 oz of stabilizer to increase CYA to 20 and 272 oz baking soda to increase TA to 60. Does this sound right? I can add these tonight & do...

Re: Tested with K-2006 & need help please Thank you all so much! So, I don't need to add stabilizer or anything right now? I will keep studying & practicing ;) - - - Updated - - -
