Hi Casey, not trying to confuse anyone but thought a very close to accurate pic would help. Yes, at a minimum I have brought the peak SLAM up every morning and night. Up to every 2 hours on the weekends. That's what is so confusing about this green. It was ALMOST crystal clear Sunday...

No, I found this on another post but it is an Intex with identical liner. Too tech challenged to load my own pic.

Pool store test showed 0.2 of copper and 0.3 of iron. So how do I fix this?

This morning the FC level was down to 9, brought back up to 15. Tonight's numbers are.. FC 8 CC 4.5 PH 7.2 TA 120 CYA 70 Found this pic and my pool is a tick cloudier and deeper shade of green but can still see lines at the bottom easily. Color has not changed at all since yesterday...

Good morning and thank you. I'll double check a few things and let you know.

Its about 2 inches above the intake. After a week into the slam, I surmised that I had very high cya levels convert to ammonia. This is the 3rd season for this pool. 1st 2 years it saw nothing but trichlor pucks and dichlor powder. I'm sure my cya levels last year were beyond high going into...

I do fill from a well. BUT, I only have this pool at about 3 ft deep right now. Approx 8500 gals now. Between cool days, clouds and rain this spring, I have not added any water for 2 or 3 weeks. Pool test on 5/12 showed 0.2 copper and 0.3 iron.

The CYA thing is a mystery. I started at zero. Thought I would use the trichlor puck to add chlorine AND CYA. My first post here I was advised to forget the pucks. I did. A week later I added enough stabilizer to raise it to 35 (mathmatically). a week later (5/12) i tested again and pool...

I believe I have been scrubbing enough. No lights or ladder to harbor algae. I had one floater with trichlor but ditched that plan after the first week, so no, nothing but 12.5% bleach, baking soda and borax the last 4 weeks. My FC drops to those lower levels overnight (bump it back up at...

I'm at a loss here... really. Current numbers. FC 22 CC 5 PH 7.2 TA ? (turned a weak light orange color, tested twice) CYA 90 (my test and pool store test 11 days ago said 35) The history... Started SLAMing around April 15 after my tf100 kit arrived. Pool was very much a swamp. Checked...

Pat Just so we are clear... borax instead of washing soda? I have both but thought the soda would raise the low TA up as well as PH. Pool calc says 55 oz (one box) of washing soda would raise PH 1.4 and TA 46. That put me right where I need to be on both. Not arguing...asking Shannon

Thanks for the input guys. Today I picked up some CYA and some Super Washing Soda to raise the PH, TA & CYA. Will get those levels up before getting the chlorine levels up. Floc will go in the trashcan. I'm sure there is ammonia present. The last 2 years have just ran pucks and dichlor...

Been reading and learning a lot here the last 30 days but have a few questions. Have really struggled with this pool the last couple years...then I found you guys and want to try the BBB method. First the specs...Pool has approx 8500 gals now. Thought it smart to save on chlorine with the 3/4...
