Liquid chlorine from pool store.

I should also note I have no idea how my calcium got so high. 6 months ago it 350.

My pool has been neglected but last week I started getting it back on track. It was green and gross. My pool is about 15,000 gallons and has a pebbletec finish. I use a Taylor K2006 test kit. On 7/18 My initial test showed: FC = 0 PH = 7.6 TA = Forgot to test CH = 1400 CYA = 0 I started To...

:LOL:

I did! It’s a big filter (clean and clear 200) and I’m pretty short. It takes a lot of effort for me to get it out. I pull it out by the top ring and pull it towards me. It’s also on its last leg and kind of “fuzzy”. Waiting for my new one to be delivered. It is just my hands and forearms...

Has anyone ever had a reaction to algae? I pulled my filter to clean it twice in the last week (doing a SLAM) and the the next day I had a very itchy rash on my forearms. The first time there was no chlorine in my pool, the second time it was a 10 so I’m leaning towards the algae rather than...

Thanks for the advice!! I’ll pass it on.

I cleaned my filter today and when I opened the filter container I was greeted by sand. It’s a Clean and Clear 100 cartridge filter. I’ve never seen this before. When I rinsed the filter I didn't feel any grittiness in the folds, so I think it was just on the top. My pool is protected by a...

Thanks! It’s a challenge trying to help without seeing it. She did load it up with chlorine since it was starting to smell. Once she drains/refills she will get on track.

I’ve had such a great experience using TFP getting my swamp clear that my aunt decided to jump on the wagon. The first thing she did was order a good kit. She isn’t very internet savvy so that’s why I’m posting. A few notes on her pool: 24,000 gal inground vinyl with a de filter. She lives in...

So when I got home yesterday I checked and my FC was 21.5 (at 1pm). Checked it twice!! I ran the OCLT again last night and had a reading of 18.5 both times. Yay!! My pool is very clear (yep! I can see the screw heads on the main drain!) and now I’m satisfied with my test results. I am done...

OCLT an FC Question- So I think I’m done SLAMing and was prepared to do the OCLT. My FC results: Thursaday at 9pm 22.5. (It was 22 at noon and I added chlorine to bring to 24) Friday (yesterday) at 8:00 am 22.5 CC 0.5 Clear water To me that said done. I didn’t add any chlorine so it could...

Hello again! It’s officially been a week since I started my SLAM! Today was also the first day in a week there has been SUNSHINE! Rain returns tomorrow, lol. Pool is looking great but not quite there yet. I feel it’s still a bit cloudy on deep end. I can see the drain in the deep end...

Luckily the water isn’t pooling around the base of the pump. As we get heavier rains and head into hurricane season I’ll pay closer attention to how the rain drains from the pump pad. My only issue is when I lift the little control cover water pours out and I need to wipe away the remainder...

I’m not stopping the SLAM, I just meant there wasn’t much I could do with my pool until I finished the SLAM! I’ve come to far to stop now!

Since I’m in a bit of a holding pattern with the SLAM, I have an equipment question (if it doesn’t belong here let me know and I can start another thread). Do do I need something to cover/protect my pump? My last pump was an IntelliFlo VS-3050, and it died after 6 years. Really thought we’d...

TodAy we have had a day of thunderstorms. I need to brush but haven’t had a long enough break between the heavy rainfall. I did manage to snag a water sample and a picture. The FC is now 28 (down from 38.5 yesterday). The water continues to be cloudy but I can clearly see the bottom in the...

Yay! Finally feel like I’ve made progress! Here is my pool today. There was a brief moment of bright sunlight and I realized I COULD see the bottom of my shallow end! I’ll take another tomorrow.

Ok- here we go! I just tested and here are my results: FC - 38.5 CC - 1 pH- 7.4 TA - 75 CH - 350 CYA - 60 Water is currently blue but still cloudy. I can make out the 3rd step nicely now (final step before bottom). I should note I did the FC 3 times! I never thought I was going to stop...

Got it from PoolSupplyWorld.com because I had a coupon from buying a new tank bottom for my filter (which was broken while having a new pump installed, though he said it was broken before he started....). I did look at Leslie’s website and it does look identical to Pool Supply World. Hmmmm

So my kit came today But it’s been storming all afternoon! Boo! Quick question: I purchased a Taylor K-2006 based on reviews. What came is a Leslie’s 81329. Are they the same thing? It looks similar based on internet pictures, but I want to make sure they didn’t do a bait and switch before I...

Thanks!! I just checked the tracking on my kit, still Wednesday. Was hoping it would come sooner. Lol. I’ll pick up some bleach tomorrow and start adding it. Ive been reading the Pool School info all afternoon and I downloaded the Pool Math app.

Sorry this may be a little long. New here and totally lost! Want you to know what I’ve done so you can help me figure out what to do next. First note: I’ve had my pool for 7 years. First 3 had a pool company, last 4 relied on a pool store and have hated every minute. Always adding something...

Hello from Orlando. I hate my pool and after years of failure with it I ended up here! I’m having a horrible time getting in clear after a pump failure and tons of algae. Will post a separate thread with all my troubles once I figure out how to make a signature line with all my pool info. Just...
