Thanks, Leebo - that's the direction I was leaning also and is what I attempted to do. Unfortunately, the nail was very brittle due to the salt water and the head of it broke into pieces without much force when i pinched it with my fingers to pull it. I had no luck with the shaft as it also was...

Hi, TFP! My purpose for this post is at the end.. I feel you should hear this short prelude because you'll either be amazed like I am, or you'll be able to provide an explanation on how this is possible. Last fall, approx late Sept, while I was working on my new pool deck, I struck a nail...

Hi TFP! I'm about to purchase an 18x33 or 18x34 (depending on model) strapless AGP and I want to make the center at least deep enough for 5ft of water, maybe 5.5ft at the most. I have searched online and surprisingly haven't found many pics or other info. If anyone here has done this can you...

I believe I am done shocking since my overnight FC once again only dropped by 1. I raised my level all the way to 21.5 (not intentionally) yesterday evening around 8pm and at 9am this morning it was at 20.5. It is cloudy today, but once the sun comes out it should drop it down substantially...

Test at 8:15 this morning showed a FC drop of 3 over night, so it finally did some work on something.. my CC level was 0 again. I ran the cleaner all night to see if it would clear up any more of the bottom, but I can't really tell much. This did allow for some of the green/yellow substance to...

I agree. Out of 5 tests now the CC level has been 0 once, 0.5 three times, and 1 once. The FC only went down by 1 over night last night, but then between 8am and 1pm it went down by 6, but I have to assume this was consumption by sunlight especially since my CYA reading was low. At this point...

Unless I am doing something wrong, I am surprised that this morning at 8am my FC was 15, only 1 down from last night, and the CC was 1 (I did not check the CC level last night). I was expecting the FC to have dropped much more over night with a higher CC. I am also suspecting that I need to...

Thanks again - I checked the FC around 9:45 tonight and it was at 16 so I opted not to add any more bleach tonight and will check first thing in the morning and hope that it has not dropped too low.. if I wake during the night I may run out and test again as long as it is not pouring rain. I...

Thanks for the input - one more question for now.. since it is continuing to rain and it looks like it will continue through the night with a 50% chance tomorrow as well, should I wait on adding any more bleach and performing further tests? One thing it looks like I may have to do is drain some...

Pool just installed 2 months ago. Water was nice for a while, but I never had a quality test kit until just two days ago and I now know that I have not had near enough chlorine in the water. I have seen a yellow colored substance on the floor of the pool and when brushed it turns to dust. I can...
