My kids are easy, they LOVE these 2 foot water blaster tubes that we get at the Dollar Tree... they dont last more then a week but my kids get more then a dollar worth of fun out of them!

Can you lower your CH w/o draining water? I will test in the morning and post my results.... I have a funny feeling that is what it is. What range do I want to be in? Thanks for your help

Here is a pic to give an idea of what i am talking about

My pool water is murky/foggy but blue. When I checked the pool calculator it sais: Note: Adding baking soda will also raise your pH Do I just need to wait?

My numbers FC 4 CC 0 pH 7.2 T/A 80 CYA 30 Should I add some baking soda to raise both my pH & T/A?

Opened the pool last Fri. Green swamp. Added 18 gallons the 1st day, within hours we were foggy blue. Keeping my FC at 16. My FC held over night but my CC is still at 1. We have about 1 foot of visibility in the pool. We are blue so thats a good thing... just wondering if since we are still...

So it is OK that I added the CYA tonight? Here are my plans for the morning.... Starting the filter Dumping gobs of bleach... I have 17 gallons as of now, and some "shock" that we bought last year before we learned that it was a verb not a noun (TeeHee) Scrubbing and vaccuming Backwashing when...

I now have my PH where it needs to be. Dealing with a swamp, so do I want to do my conditioner 1st and wait a week before I start adding bleach since I can't backwash?

What is the shelf life for granular chemicals? I have some PH Minus that just doesnt seem to be taking in my pool.. could it be to old?

dmanb2b pretty sure they were just chlorine based. They were these plastic bottle tube shaped things filled w/ chlorine tabs that you inserted into this contraption that is attached to the filter. The mineral pack I was talking about was inside the contraption attached to the filter. I still...

Thank you all so much! I didn't realize that I needed to worry about my PH yet. Also to correct myself. I meant to ask if I needed to vacuum on WASTE... So I will wait until next week when I get my new/better testing kit and I will post my TRUE numbers before I do anything. I have been...
