OK so we are getting a little frustrated with this pool and the lack of improvement we are seeing :(. We have re tested and this is what our readings are showing: FC 25 TC 26 CYA 70 CH 100 TA 100 PH 7.5 I guess we just KEEP slamming? We have been slamming forever it feels like.....

Yes we can raise the PH and we will do so immediately. The re-test on the CYA read 100. It's so subjective so I'm hoping that's wrong. I will go look at the CYA/ slam chart! Thanks so much.

OK, the CYA test makes me a little uneasy bc it's not as black and white. I'm going to re-test the CYA again. We are on a well, we blew the motor last year filling the pool so we would rather not drain and re-fill at all cost. I can keep slamming the pool, it's definitely not clear and we...

Hey everyone, so we haven't seen much progress or so it feels like we haven't seen much progress. We got our new TF-100 test kit in the mail and tested everything today!! Our FC is a little out of control. FC - 25.5 TC - 27.5 CH - 175 TA - 90 CYA - 75 PH 6.8 Obviously the FC is out of...

Ok guys, CYA added to get me to 30, pool brushed and cleared of visible debris, chlorine added to get to new slam level of 12 per PoolMath. This will be a little challenging to maintain because I don't have my new test kits so I can only see 5, 10 or 20. I will try and purchase a new kit...

Thanks so much, I'm hoping its ok, the PSI is still really low. I am adding the CYA now in panty hose in front of return. I was adding bleach in anticipation of loosing bleach through the night.... I will be sure not to do that though! So do I just continue to keep my bleach at slam level...

whew.

It seems to be working ok. The PSI is really low but the company said it would probably take a few hours to come back up.

Ggggggggrrrrrrr - so frustrated, so for complete disclosure, not sure how much each factor affects the other.... Sunday night the intake was hardly suctioning, we backwashed it after only 48 hours of running, albeit in a very dirty pool. Last night same thing, I backwashed, rinsed, and turned...

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day, hopefully in clean sparkly pools ;). OK I'm not sure whats going on, I have maintained the chlorine at 10 or higher and we made zero progress yesterday, our pool is still cloudy greenish blue. Sunday night the chlorine...

Alright guys, I'm so excited to report that thanks to other post on this site I found how to attack ammonia! I have been able to maintain a 10 FC for an hour! Will continue to check this every hour and make sure it stays high! The pool has gone from a dark green to a cloudy light greenish...

Hey guys, the PH is back in balance and good to go, it held through the night as well. I was slowly adding (sock in the skimmer) stabilizer to get the CYA up......SORRY i just realized you said NOT to do that if the FC doesn't hold. I am going to take the sock OUT, I didn't add much...

OK guys, I have added the Borax to increase my PH level, how long do I have to wait to re test my PH? Also, can I immediately add the chlorine to see if it holds for 10 minutes?

That is gorgeous!!!! Good job!

Guys, you all are so helpful! Its so overwhelming to try and figure all of this out!! We are in Huntsville TX and have had crazy amounts of rain the past 2 days so i haven't been able to do anything with the pool. We FINALLY have sunshine so I am going to address the PH right now!

Hey guys, I am new poster, semi new to having a pool.... last summer was our first year and it was an uphill battle from the very beginning. I read your forums / information a lot but this is my first time posting. We are trying to get the pool ready for summer and it is seeming overwhelming...
