This might be the wrong thread here but I made a mistake. I put cal hypo packets of shock in my pebble pool and don’t brush it well. It was before a party and I just forgot. Now there are rust stains all over my deep end (but also in other places). Did I erode my pebble so badly that the rust is...

Thanks!!

It spills over into my pool. Last weekend we had a party and had about 15 people in there (lots of kids). Yesterday we sat in it in the evening but forgot to put the pool back on pool mode. I need to get the chlorine way up in there. It was at 1 ppm this morning. Is it okay to add chlorine...

Okay thank you!!!?

So this just means I for sure need to clean the filter ASAP huh? But you aren’t worried about the air thing?

This is how it was before. I used the manual vac when I finished my SLAM to get rid of any residual dead algae. But like I said, I sucked air into it for sure.

What does this mean? My black line is past my red one. I used a manual pool vac and attached it to my skimmer and I think air got sucked into the filter. Is this why this this is happening? Do I need to turn off my pump? I did that several days ago so I’m a little worried I’ve done damage to...

I can’t keep up. I’m not sure what in the world happened, but when this started I was losing chlorine very quickly. Then it tapered off. I have been checking, adding, and even mixing in the chlorine every two hours since Thursday! I have to add bleach almost every time and as of today at 6:45...

Lol. It’s late in the day and I’m so tired. Doubling and multiplying by .5 of course brings me back to the same number. Ha

Thank you for the great advice to use 5 ml. I assume I double this number and multiply that times .5. I ordered more FAS-DPD reagent. Amazon had a big bottle of it and (fingers crossed I don’t need that much), but I figured it would be better to have more on hand. My TF kit came with the...

THANK YOU! Maybe I was doing this wrong!

Rain is coming! Ahhh. I started my SLAM on the 11th at around 5. I have been checking, adding and brushing every couple hours and adding chlorine to get to my target levels. (Can I get more regent at Leslie’s?). I’m going to for sure run out by the time I finish this slam. If I ever finish. ...

Thank you! I used regular chlorine. Where do you get Cal hypo? Just for future reference. Leslie’s? I didn’t check Leslie’s but I went to two other pool stores.

Hi No. I had not slammed yet. The algae was just starting to creep back. It’s very hard to tell if there is algae in the beginning stages with the color of my pebble. Anyway, I was hoping to get advice on cal hypo and if I could use that to get my chlorine level up to 20 ppm, where it needs to...

? Hi. I edited to add my CYA is 50. Also not sure if this is relevant but my pebble plaster is new. The pool is just about a year and a half old.

Okay so I am having a number of issues 1. I keep getting algae or cloudy water even though I am maintaining the proper FC levels and my CC is 0. 2. Burning eyes and dry skin! I have a spillover hot tub and my PH goes out of range almost daily. Is this related to PH from the bubbles spilling...

I don’t actually understand how to read this. This is a photo of the gauge before and after cleaning. Am I supposed to turn this dial to reset it after cleaning it? Does this reading look right for having just cleaned the filter? Thanks! I am ordering the TFP100 kit. Seeing if there is...

Thanks! Do you always recommend soaking? We had to SLAM the pool after an algae boom. Things seem under control now, but I didn’t have a new large garbage can to soak last night. Would it be a good idea to take it apart and soak it overnight tonight? Is there a rule of thumb for how much TSP...

We cleaned the cartridge filters today and I turned the filter off and then turned off the breakers. (Didn’t put it in service mode.) When we put the cleaned cartridges back we noticed the water in the tank was all gross. I asked my neighbor what to do with this water and he said scoop it out...
