Did you happen to get paint from Home Depot? Do you know the color code they came up with? I'd also would like to touch up some rust but pool is already up.

Okay, sounds like I'll add it to my todo list. First want to get the TA down. I'm hoping that goes quicker now that I finally got some muriatic acid. That pH-minus stuff only lowered my bank account...

So I understand the only way to lower my CH is to drain and add new water... My tap water is hard, just tested it at 360 CH... Is it worth my trouble drain and fill up pool with water that's run through my water softener? Will that soft water have other things that I don't want in my pool...

Okay, I'm sure this is a dumb question... But how do I use this thing? Just hook up garden hose and push this thing around the bottom of the pool? What specific purpose does this tool have? I seem to remember talking to a family member about his pool years ago and they said the brush...

Went to my local PS for the first time today to see if they had sequestrant and the lady didn't know what I was talking about... Her young, maybe 13yo daughter, spoke up to let me know where it was... $22 bucks for maybe 1/2 gal, not even sure if its what I even needed... Also checked their...

Hmm, so do you think I should stop the pump to let the iron settle? I'm still trying to bring my TA down so I guess I can't do both at the same time... Here is my pool so far... Got my TA from 340 to 300 in about 9 hours today... And the towel also after about 9 hours.

I don't have a skimmer, but I did put a microfiber towel over one of the two water outlets. I was tempted to do both but was worried about burning up my pump. Curious to see what the towel looks like when I get home from work. When I rinsed out the filter cartridge this morning it was icky...

Pretty sure it's not algae. I unknowingly did a OCLT test last night and my FC level remained the same. Last night 8:30pm 5 ppm FC, 0 CC 300 ppm CH 7.7 pH 360 TA and then these numbers from this morning in post above 5 ppm FC, 0.5 ppm CC 300 ppm CH 8.0 pH 340 TA 30 cya

Cool! So the green tint isn't bad since it's not algae?

Current readings as of this morning... 5 ppm FC, 0.5 ppm CC 300 ppm CH 8.0 pH 340 TA 30 cya I filled up pool just two days ago so trying to get this under control. I think my numbers are okayish? pH is high because I'm trying to lower the TA values... But if I get that down to under 7.8 is...

Cleaned out the filter this morning, it was getting pretty brown, hopefully that mean it's removing some of the iron... Took another test. 7/18 7:30 am 5 ppm FC, 0.5 ppm CC 300 ppm CH 8.0 pH 340 TA 30 cya, about 3/4 of line above the 40 I put another 6 oz of the pH minus in... Did the pH rise...

West Lafayette, Indiana is where I'm at... Will update my location in the AM... Or maybe sooner, can't sleep been reading this forum for the past few hours haha... Still a little confused on the chlorine residual.... How is that measured? I was planning on just going off the values from here...

Maybe I should have posted this on the "Just getting started" page?.. Sent from my LG-VS985 using Tapatalk

So just got pool filled up yesterday and trying to get started... This post might be loaded with questions... I've read all the pool school and think I'm figuring this out but still unsure about a few things... Filled up the pool and immediately water had a slightly green tint, which I think...
