I raised my CYA to 30 now. I came home from work to the same thing (left the pump off all day- settled to bottom) and I decided to try a little experiment. I have been looking at getting a slime bag that filters down to 1 micron but as they are somewhat expensive we will wait a while. What I...

I left my pump off all day again today and when I came home same thing- crystal clear water and orange, rust settled to the bottom. I got out my vac, hooked it to the filter and tried vaccuming to wastewith the return still open to see what would happen. I vaccumed while standing outside of...

We have an 18x48 metal frame AG Intex pool. Our water quality for our small town is horrible and we have rust sediment in the bottom of our pool with crystal clear water on top- we know it's rust because we get the same thing in the tub when we take a bath. We have a 3,000gph pump model 520...

Just tested the water- the results are: TH- 400 FC- 12 pH- 7.5 CYA- 20 I like the idea of putting a towel in front of the return. I will try that.

Ok- we have an AG 18x48 intex pool. I've had nothing but problems since we put it up a week and a half ago. The water is constantly cloudy even with keeping very high chlorine levels in it. I thought it was algea but now I think it's rust sediment. Here's why.... We live in a town of 750 and...

"I hope it works out for you. I'm not sure why you've spent $300 on chemicals though." The reason for that is because I went to Walmart and bought all the HTH chemicals and then a friend of mine who has owned a pool for years told me to take a water sample to the pool store and they will tell...

It rained again last night! &%$*##!! All of the support poles are sunk evenly and what we've done is drain the pool to below the recommended level and we've marked the poles at ground level to see if they sink any more. If they do we will drain. I'm about ready to drain the pool anyway from...

Ok- went to Ace Hardware store and got Borax (walmart didn't have this) and muriatic acid. Got back home and now the pool is grey and cloudy again!! What the?? Tested my levels and the chlorine is still high but my TA is also still very high- could this grey stuff be scaling or dead algea...

Ok, so when I took the cover off the pool this morning the water is much more clear and I can see to the bottom- not CRYSTAL clear but like I said, can finally see to the bottom!! I've ordered a good test kit and until then I think what I will do is shock the pool and keep it at shock level...

Oh yeah- I've been using shock powder, liquid chlorine- 12% from pool store and those chlorine tablets in the floater- am I overdoing that??

I have an AG Intex metal frame pool 18x48 vinyl. It holds according to their calculations 6,700 gallons. Its been up for 9 days now and our water is still slightly green and a tiny bit cloudy. When I look down I can see down to my thighs and that's it. I only have the test strips and an HTH...

Hello- we have just put up an Intex 18x48 metal frame round pool about 2 weeks ago. We live in central Illinois and since we have put the pool up it has rained almost every day since. We've had lots of storms, flash flooding and lots of accumulation. The problem is that 1. the ground is super...
