Sorry CYA is 50 not 5.....

I am having trouble with cloudy/slightly green water. Here are my numbers: FC 9.5 CC 0 PH 7.2 TA 60 CH 320 CYA 5 My question is do I need to SLAM?

Ok not sure where I read that either. Anyhow, with my current readings, should I go ahead and add maybe just the one 25 lb bucket of calcium chloride?

Ok, I see. So, still suggesting adding the calcium chloride? I just got it in the mail. :D I bought (2) 25 lb buckets.

Ok I have been SLAMing for a few days and here are my readings: FC 7.25 PH 7.3 TA 90 CH 200 (calcium chloride arriving tomorrow or Thursday) CYA 30 My pool water looks crystal clear. - - - Updated - - - I am also reading about my CH LEVEL. The ideal range is anywhere from 150-400 ppm. Why was...

OK my local stores did not carry any calcium chloride. So I ordered from Amazon. It will be here on Thursday. Is that too long too wait?

Ok how much? And where can I find it? Wal-Mart?

Put in 2 gallons of liquid chlorine and more stabilizer just now. The water is green and cloudy. I cannot see the deep end at all.

Ok. As I stated earlier, I am putting in a gallon every evening.

Ok retested....water is turning green again. I brushed it and have still been putting a gallon of liquid bleach in in the evenings. Here are my results: FC 1.75 CC 0.5 PH 7.0 TA 70 CH 150 CYA maybe close to 20. The water in the tube was definitely cloudier than my first testing due to my...

Ok test kit is here and here are my results: FC: 1.2ppm CC: .25 PH: 7.8 TA: 100 CH: 200 CYA: 0

Just vacuumed to waste today. Looks a lot better. I'll still add the gallon of liquid bleach this evening.

Pool water is clearer, but a lot of stuff on the bottom. I guess it's dead algae. I will still continue to put in gallon of liquid Clorox in the evenings until kit arrives. - - - Updated - - -

Ok I'll start putting it in after the sun goes down.����

I know it's not bad yet, just can't get it to be perfect! I poured in the first gallon of great value liquid chlorine this morning.

Ok I'll get the liquid chlorine tomorrow and add it. I'll take a pic and upload as well.

I have a test kit on its way (k2006) from Amazon, but in the meantime what do you suggest? Shock? Liquid chlorine? How much?

Well let me tell you my water has been giving me a terrible time for about the past 3 summers now. Short of filling in my pool with dirt, I've tried everything. I have been the care-taker since 2006. I thought I had it all figured out. I have changed pumps thinking a previous pump wasn't strong...

Ready for a clear, low-maintenance pool
