Okay I did not know that. Going to the store today to purchase the polyquat. Will it be okay to run it for a few days with only the addition of polyquat until my husband and I have time to close it?

Here are the results ph 7.5 TC 0 CH 50 TA 50 CYA 0 water temperature 62 degrees F Pool is finally full and was able to turn pump on. Now I just need advice on what to do to close.

Hello, We finally had our new liner installed today and it looks great. My question is what now? Should I finish filling it up and add chemicals to balance or drain it back down below jets and close? The current water level is right at the bottom of the skimmer. Probably needs about another...

We have seen water running down the side of the pump. My husband thinks he can fix it, just hasn't felt like or had the time(hurt back, 12 to 14 hour days)! And, yes, I'm sure that it's not leaking out of the backwash line!! I learned that lesson the hard way 💯 😌 I will read the article and go...

We have a proven leak that seems to be getting gradually worse. We worked really hard at opening to fill and then clean/balance pool with pond water. Upon opening, our water level was way below where we had it at closing last year. We attributed it to a new liner+warm spring&winter=major...

This is what it looked like after 3 days of SLAM and brushing and vacuuming. We had a death in the family so I couldn't test in a while. Here are today's numbers. ph 7.8 FC 2 TA 100 CYA 20 CH 150 I had half a bag left of CYA, it's all in the sock now. Concerned about the ph creeping up and that...

Got everything I needed. Added the baking soda, waiting to test. Going to put about 2 to 3 pounds of CYA in a sock, then start the slam after retesting. Hubby's vacuuming and brushing after work. Should I try to get CYA up to around 20 then increase after SLAM to save on chlorine? I think that's...

Slam will have to wait until tomorrow. I had 4 pounds of baking soda on hand so added that. Hubby won't listen to me. Told him it was pointless to add any chlorine until I get everything in order to SLAM.

ph 6.5 FC 0 CC .5 TA 30 CYA >20

Hello! We opened our pool this weekend about 1.5 months late. New cover on pool but pool level was about a foot lower than at closing. We don't know if we have a slow leak or evaporation. We decided to use pond water to save money and save our well pump. Here's what we've done so far. Hubby...

And how do you tell when the LC was made by those numbers on the bottom?

You can see the dirt even after pressure washing. And dead ants on the ledge.

Hey again TFPExperts, I'm so glad y'all are here to help me and others figure out what to do with our pools without breaking the bank!! Okay, here I go...we opened our pool to green water, very little debris and a colony of ants that have taken up residence under a corner of the pool decking...

I don't know the first thing about SWGs but it's been suggested that I get one. This year has been a crazy busy summer. Parties every weekend for the first half. Maintenance was kept up to date too! July came around and everything went to pot. My mother got sick and I had to help take care of...

Not that this will help much but here are my current numbers. ph 7.8 FC 0 CYA 20 or 30?(I still saw the dot at 30 but disappeared between 30 and 20) TA 90 CH 250 Now my question is how much chlorine to buy and can/should I purchase Cal Hypochlorite to knock it out? Also, I updated my signature...

Although we tried, life and summer went on and we just couldn't keep up with the pool care and maintenance. Rain, heat, neglect and the depletion of all forms of chlorine over the past few weeks has caused algae to form and grow in spots all over the pool. We don't anticipate using the pool...

No overnight loss and water is clear. Didn't think to test CCs. Will brush and vacuum again this evening. If CCs are within acceptable range, can I stop the SLAM?

Yeah, got the old white sock twirling in front of the jet😁 I've learned so much the last few years 😉 DH is vacuuming and brushing today and I will adjust chlorine! Pool is almost clear, much much better. I'm hoping SLAM will be over tomorrow.

Another question...after putting in the stabilizer, directions say not to backwash for 72 hours but what if I need to during SLAM?

I kept it up to 12 until I went to bed last night. No time to test or add this morning. We're getting a ton of rain and may have to drain some water. Is it going to be okay to resume the SLAM this evening and with all the rain? I put the robot in and brushed the walls real good last night as...

Okay, I kept adding to get it to 10. Just checked and it's at 11. Putting the rest of the stabilizer into sock. DH gonna pick up more stabilizer as it called for 7.5 lbs.

Do I keep adding until I get to the initial 10? I've put in twice and last reading was 8.5

Do I start the countdown right after I put the chlorine in?
