So I have been following this site since opening in April. I have learned sooo much so thank you for that! Now for the problems :confused: I had been maintaining pretty well with liquid bleach. 2 weeks ago we were going to be out of town a lot so I resorted to using 3" puck for a few weeks (...

Well good news and bad news folks. My pool did finally clear and has been doing great. I thought I had gotten the hang of things ...but then BAM green tinted pool!!!! I think I let my chlorine level slip and I may have an alge bloom. However, besides low chlorine (like 0) everything else was...

fc 19.5 cc 0.5 cya 30 ya 110 ph 7.6. My FC is maintaining pretty steady. Week three of a slam I CANNOT clear the cloudiness!?!?!? Please help, advice appreciated.

Pool is still cloudy... Can finally see the bottom stair. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks of opening slam (it was green, minimal derbies). Tonight after the sun went down my numbers are fc 19.5 cc 0.5 cya 30 ya 110 ph 7.6. I added DE Sunday but it dropped my return pressure so ive had to backwash several...

I have been having the same problem. I added DE (enough to raise my PSI 1) to try and clear the cloudiness. However, after adding I lost return pressure. I had to back wash to get the pressure back up ( I have had to do this three times since adding the DE). I am 2 weeks into a slam (pool was...

Any suggestions for the continued cloudiness?

I am two weeks into a slam. My water is still so cloudy I passed the over night test but continue to loose chlorine throughout the day. Today I added DE to the filter (enough to raise one psi) but then I lost return pressure. So what should I do? Backwash?

I added 4 lb of cya per pool math tonight via the sock method. My fc levels are still bouncing around we tested and corrected several times today. tonight 6 I readjusted for a fc level of 12. PH 7.2 TA 70 CC 0.5. I did see a touch more visibility tonight and my vac didn't have any debris after...

I really hope I haven't completely ruined my liner!

THANK YOU!! Such valuable info:rolleyes:

Oh awesome well between my PH dropout and now slamming for 9 days with no CYA its possible I have no liner :kim: I will add some today. Does it matter the FC level when adding it? Also, what method do you all prefer when adding CYA? Liquid or granule? - - - Updated - - - When is the best...

We have a dolphin extreme running.

The baking soda corrected my ph I tried adding the photo but it says I have exceeded my allotment. Unfortunately, I had a pretty significant FC loss over night. At midnight FC was 11 CC 0.5. This morning at 6am FC 8 CC 0.5 TA 90 PH 7.2

After my emergency trip to walmart I added 12lb of baking soda waited 30 min and retested. Thankfully that seems to have my numbers in check. I'm off to bed FINALLY hopefully I will wake up to a sparkling pool (wishful thinking). Do you all think my low ph and TA could be contributing to my...

Wow thanks ...made an emergency run to Wal-Mart. Currently waiting on baking soda to mix in.

Update: I tested my levels almost hourly today. Adding bleach as instructed by pool math. Because my cya is 0 my shock level is 10. I went with the mustard alge coverage which is fc of 12 just to be sure. I've been able to maintain a fc level between 9-10.5. Finally tonight at 1030p my fc is...

Ok I finally have numbers. Using K2006 kit. Here are the numbers and current pic. I still have minimal visibility. Dolphin also arrived and cleared a lot of alge and small derbies. Fc 4.5 CC 0.5 Cya 0 (dot never disappeared) Ph below 7 (very yellow on color indicator scale) 6 drops needed to...

Perfect ...good to hear. I had orderd some DE but wasn't sure if I should add it. I've read mixed reviews on here. It is a sand filter. I put in New sand last year.

Yes I have back washed a few times. Waiting patiently for my dolphin and test kit to arrive.

The frog adventure was actually last season. We drained the pool completely and started fresh and all last season fought the frog battle. I sat out to do anything but fight that frog this season. I took my initial pool water sample to the pool store which told me that my fc 0 cya 0 ph 8. So I...

Today....day 6. Cya 0 fc holding steady at 10. Still very cloudy but gaining more visibility.

Re: 1st timer My cya is zero. I was told by the pool store (oops) that I did not need stabilizer at this time because it is early spring/ sun won't burn off my chlorine. I brought my ph to 7 before beginning the slam. I have a 5 way test kit as well as strips. I have ordered the kit you all...
