But I am gonna keep slamming til I pass all three, which shouldn’t be long now! Thankfully!

Water is still slightly cloudy, so maybe dead algae is indeed the culprit. Thanks for the tip about the laterals, bc removing all of the sand and checking them out was not something I was very excited about. :)

Thank you, the odd part is when it was a swamp and I started the slam the return didn’t slow this fast, it only started doing this after I did the deep clean, causing me to wonder two things; if I messed up one of the laterals while doing the deep clean? Or if it wasn’t cleaning properly until I...

Hi all, so I am not that familiar with pool pump lingo. I am still slamming my pool and I am almost at the end. I recently cleaned the sand in my filter by putting the hose in the sand and letting the yuck run out of the top. I believe they call that deep cleaning. After that the filter return...

I know that I originally had algae in the pool. But how can I tell now? Obviously the water is not clear. Last night I did the overnight test and lost very little less than 1 drop in fc. But I am scared to let the chlorine level drop In case it’s not completely gone. I bought a sequestering...

Yes. I have been trying to clear the pool for almost 3 weeks. I have kept the slam level this whole time. The pool remains an aqua green color, after adding the wash cloth and seeing all of the brown yucky water in it, and the stains on my white parts of the pool. Are sand filters not able...

We have a sand filter (Hayward) replaced sand this year. Sounds good, very strong water output back into the pool but when I backwash the water isn’t very dirty. (Only a cloudy white) The problem is I have been slamming my pool for over two weeks and it is still a dark aqua green color. I...

Thank y’all for the tips. I will try to be patient. As I said, I just don’t want to miss something I should be doing more. I will try the pantyhose. Also, I can’t see the bottom at all, but do vacuum and brush regularly, but maybe I am still missing debris. It is just so hard bc I can’t see...

So changed the sand and added de to the new sand.. Fc 19.5 Cya 30-40 But pool looks worse... I had to add more water (well) after changing sand and it rained last night. Could this be the iron in my water?

Thanks, I decided to replace the sand even though it was only 2 years old. I can only see about a foot down through the water. I am replacing the sand in a few minutes so maybe I can see some improvement tomorrow. I am okay with taking time as long as I see some improvement, otherwise I feel...

I have kept my pool clean until last winter, we leave the pool open, but pool leak etc. anyway, so I began with a green swamp. I didn’t have my new Testing kit and so began by just dumping in 10% liquid chlorine. Keeping my chlorine level at 20% for 5 days. (My cya according to the Last I had...

So my fc didn’t drop over night, my cc is still .5 But the pool is still this aqua color. Could it be metals in my well water? On my 8 day of slamming, no New improvement since day 3.

No, I never have. I’ve never needed to. This is the first time I’ve ever had this problem.

Could there be a problem with my sand? Should the pool still look this dark and cloudy after 6 days?

My ta 140? Oh 7.2 I’m new at testing so hopefully I am doing this right.

I have never posted on here. I just read all of the time. Pool started leaking ran out of chemicals etc.. long story short pool filled with algae over the winter. I had ran out of cya testing supplies so just guessed and added a lot of bleach. And kept fc high for almost 1 week. Fc stayed around...
