I used the pool pump set to waste to drain the pool. I left about a foot of water in it. But I just now remembered to check the thread. Do I really need to go back over there and start filling the pool? Should I completely drain the pool to get the mud and stuff out first? Can my sand filter...

The whole pool is four feet deep all the way across, except for the 9 inch end. You can hand dig a well here on the island so floating the pool is possible. I desperately need a step by step guide. My brain is not working right now. Too many things going on. I need maximum help PLEASE!

Hurricane Harvey had his way with my pool. It was filled with untold amounts of debris and is now black after three weeks with no power. I drained the pool today with the pump to waste. I don't want to make a misstep. Is my plaster too new to be without water and for how long? Should I leave...

Pool is black, fence is gone and my home was under 21 inches of water. Pretty much everything I have left is in two vehicles. The only way it could be better is if everything had been completely blown away. The mess and mosquitoes are unimaginable. It'll be quite awhile before my next reading.

Hurricane Harvey has had his way with my pool so all bets are off for now. I do wish I'd dumped a few gallons of bleach in it before I was mandatorily evacuated. But alas, I don't even know yet if I have a house to return to. Doesn't look good right now. Thanks everyone for all the input! I'll...

This afternoon's reading is as follows. FC 8 (using a 5ml sample) pH 8+ I added a quart of MA.

Here's my post from August 8.

I haven't added any bleach since 8/15/17. Yes I'm comfortable and confident with the how the CYA dot looks.

This morning's reading is as follows. FC 14 (using a 5ml sample) CYA standard came in yesterday so I know how to read the dot. But I only have enough R-0013 on hand for maybe one more test, so I added a gallon of conditioner yesterday (since I know I'm way less than 80) and will check my CYA...

Well unfortunately the filter got clogged up overnight somehow, so the circulation was too low for the SWG to produce chlorine. This morning's reading is as follows. FC 6 (using a 5ml sample) pH 8 I backwashed and added a gallon of 10% bleach and a quart of MA.

Thanks Yak! This afternoon's reading is as follows. FC 7 (using a 5ml sample) pH 8

Yes I stopped manually dosing, but seeing that I lost 2ppm from yesterday morning to this morning, it seems I'll being adding some bleach at some point.

This morning's reading is as follows. FC 15 (using a 5ml sample) Last night at 10pm it was FC 10.

This morning's reading is as follows. FC 17 (using a 5ml sample) Yesterday evening at some point before sunset it was FC 13 or 14 (I got distracted) and I didn't add anything.

Thanks again Yak! I completely understand. I'll order the solution, but in the meantime I too am done with the SLAM for awhile. I just don't have the time right now to dedicate to hourly monitoring. I'll be leaving the SWG at 100% 24/7 and adding bleach as necessary for now, and will log my...

So raising CYA to 80 will take more bleach (and testing drops) achieving FC 31 for SLAM, but it will also protect more bleach from the sun to save money? Seems as if CYA 80 is where I need to be whether I continue the SLAM or not?

Reading is as follows. FC 26 (using a 5ml sample) I added a quart of MA.

This morning's reading is as follows. FC 20 (using a 5ml sample) I added a gallon of 12.5% bleach.

Re: IC60 Cell Light Off OK so Marty's a TFP Guide, not an expert. He must not have realized the pool was so new.

Thanks Karen! Reading is as follows. FC 24 (using a 5ml sample) Pool is closed. Gate is locked. SWG is off.
