I take it back i am not sure if they are Larvae or not. I could only see them in the skimmer basket. I replaced the skimmer sock last night and this morning checked there was not a lot of debris and i didn't see any of the white rice like things anymore. There may have been a few but since the...

Looking online I have a lot of trees around my pool think they are larvae

Tonight I look like I am at 3ppm of FC and 3ppm of TC also see picture of white junk at bottom of pool. This is my filter sock from last 24 hours seems like lots of pollen.

Not sure which forum area this would fall into. I have been dealing with a lot of issues this year. Anyway, I have been using filter socks to try and help catch stuff before DE filter. Anyway changing out the skimmer sock today I noticed these white like rice bugs? Any help on what they are and...

We did with a hose. The water would suck into the filter but would suck anymore from the line. I assume I just need to keep doing that?

Hello I was helping my a friend open their in ground pool this weekend and we ran into a problem that I mentioned I would reach out and ask everyone here. We removed the cover, moved water level above the returns and skimmer, removed plugs from returns and skimmer, connected all the plumbing...

That makes a lot of sense. I assume i just have to keep "Superchlorinating" my pool over night and vacuuming out the "white powder/dead algae the next day until my (OCLT) drops by </= 0.5ppm?

Hmm/ this does seem like it could be the case(again I know this is a bogus test done by LPS to seem chemicals). but per LPS my phosphates are very high and i have notices a mild slick-like feeling on the pool wall (Vinyl liner) (I assume algae) so potentially by shocking it is killing all of...

So what could it be? The only time i end up with white powder on the bottom of my pool is after i shock my pool. I vacuum it out and there is nothing for a few days until i add sodium hypochlorite at which point i end up with white powder on the bottom again. Now it might not be chlorine but I...

I usually use this (Taylor Technologies K-2005 Pool Test Kit) but i am out of drops so had to settle on LPS. With that Is the assumption that the LPS is just wrong my TC/FC are higher then they are reading at? or is there something else going on?

Hello All, I live in massachusetts and opened my above ground pool two weekends ago and have been having trouble ever since. My water parameters are as follows. My pool keeps telling me that I have no Chlorine so I shock my pool. I have tried Calcium Hypochlorite powder(Leslie's Power Powder...

Sorry after posting realized this may need to be in water chemistry not here

High all for the first time in a few years I am having a lot of issues with my pool and need help. I have a 24ft x 52” round above ground pool. With a Hayward EC50 DE filter and Hayward PowerFlo MATRIX Pool Pump 1.5HP. To start this year I tried to use the cellulose filter media it was great...

I will wait till tomorrow AM. I brushed the pool after adding the bicarb. But can wait till the morning.

40ppm before haven’t check since adding as I haven’t done anything else yet. I replaced my liner this year so it’s brand new city water that was low on everything.

I need to raise both my alkalinity and hardness. I added my sodium bicarbonate at 10am this morning it is now 8 hours later is it too soon to adjust hardness with calcium chloride? Thank You for any help.

Your not kidding with neighbor haha

Thank you, I don’t mind waiting I wasn’t sure if the cold weather would have an impact on a new liner that doesn’t have water around it. I don’t fill overnight anyway I stop around 9/10.

I live in MA and It was warm above 70 since last week. I installed a new unibead liner on my 24’ round above ground pool on Tuesday it was 70-80 degrees that day. I filled 12 inches and let it sit. This morning I started filling more and got it to about 1/3 filled and stopped. The temp has...

Hi Yes, I can update my signature... I need to look at figure that out. YEs the filter itself is still fine I guess i just know at the end of last season the flow/pressure coming from the return was light(not the pressure in the filter/gauge). I am looking for the replacement pump for a few...
