UPDATE SO here is where im at folks. Back to 1ppm and i have pretty much had every emotion you can expect to be having right now...and wasnt pretty. Here is what I am thinking and correct me if you think its a bad plan.. OK...first off I think im having a losing battle here trying to get shock...

Yes i wondered about that because it was the next morning after puting it directly into the skimmer i lost pressure. It seems to be picking me up slightly so your right its not dissolved yet im sure

Also...understanding when you ask friends and family questions you get all types of answers but one answer i questioned. My friend asked if it was possible that 300lbs of sand was too much to filter through and maybe try a lighter filter element? When i bought this house and changed sand these...

I mixed it in water to dissolve and then added to skimmer. Went by directions on the stabilizer bag. I let it dissolve about an hour

Thank you for responding. Just checked and it fell to about 6ppm so put my last get go for the night. Also theres something strange happening. Ever since i put the stabilizer in my skimmer yesterday my water pressure on filter setting is very weak from return line. If i turn to circulation the...

This is my pool after starting the slam process today. Just tested FC and its 8.6 so added another gallon according to the chart. It was 8.0 four and a half hours ago Once again this is not gritty or slimy...just a nasty foam. Pool filter pressure is at 22 and steady but the water isnt...

When i feel inside the skimmer as facing toward the pool i can feel straight down in the middle is some sort of round small knob. On the side almost to bottom of skimmer is where i can feel some suction. Only way to describe it since i cant see through the water

A question not related to chemicals. Not sure if i should post on this thread or start a new one but here goes. I have 2 skimmers. The skimmer furthest away i cant feel any suction at all. 2nd skimmer i feel suction but not very much. Keeping baskets clear

Ok guys here is my delimma. The free chlorine is back to 0 after 12 hrs. How can i adjust this throughout the night without waking up every hour to check it. Im just starting over in the morning! I put some stabilizer in last night to get the CyA up from 10 or 20 because if i understand right...

FC- 7.2--36 drops CC-3.4--17 drops PH-7.4 ALK-180ppm--18 drops before red CH-130ppm--13 drops CYA--black dot still barely visible with vial filled..lower than 30ppm

FC- 7.2--36 drops CC-3.4--17 drops

Ok we put liquid pool shock in it last night around 730 and tested it a few minutes ago at 9am and FC turned hot pink. CYA black dot in test tube is barely visible at 30ppm mark. All other tests were the same. I'm sure this doesnt mean much since it hasnt circulated 24 hrs or had sunlight yet...

Ok i went to the calculator where i am supposed to enter info to find out how much chemical i need. I'm an educated woman but it makes zero sense to me what to do. I have no ide how im going to get these chemicals right

OK EVERYONE TEST READINGS AND VERY CONFUSED. Used Taylor fas dpd complete kit and here we go FC- stayes clear and never turned pink. PH- stayed yellow and would not turn even close to lowest 7.0 Orange Alk- between 7.8 and 8.0 CH- 2.4ppm. Took 12 drops Cya- poured mixture to the top past...

Also just an fyi and making sure the equipment seems ok. Our Hayward S240 filter seems to maintain pressure at about 18psi. Before we changed the multi valve and sand it was around 7psi. The highest it has gotten is 22psi and pump basket was filled and after backwash it went back down to 18. Im...
