Thank you, Texas!

Thank you for your reply. I messed up. (The pool store talked me into E-Z pool last year and I fell for it) I am ready to take ownership. My question now is, will it damage my liner or anything if I switch to chlorine since some of the E-Z pool chemicals are still in it (the pool guy put...

I switched to E-Z Pool last summer and it was great! My pool sparkled all summer. But when I opened the pool this week, it was a murky green and has an odor. I can't even see the bottom of the pool. The pool store said to add something called "Revive" ($50 bucks!!) and it would clear right...

Re: Pool Store said I have "Chlorine Lock". Mustard Algae.H Thanks, Dave. :)

Re: Pool Store said I have "Chlorine Lock". Mustard Algae.H Thank you all! You have all been very very helpful. I have performed the overnight test and all algae is dead. There are no leaves or debris in my pool. I am now confident with my testing results since I have tested, tested and...

Re: Created Spreadsheet: Calculator / Cost Bleach Requiremen Thanks!!!

Re: Pool Store said I have "Chlorine Lock". Mustard Algae.H UPDATE: Pool is blue but cloudy. Dead algae is gone. Can't see bottom of deep end. Any ideas how I can get it clear? Thanks! Here are my numbers: FC: 25.0 no cc's PH: 7.5 TA: 200 CH: 300 CYA: 90

Re: Pool Store said I have "Chlorine Lock". Mustard Algae.H Update: I still have algae, but I think it is dead because it doesn't appear to be growing, it just keeps coming back into the pool from the return jets and settling on the bottom of the shallow end. In the deep end, it looks like it...

Re: Pool Store said I have "Chlorine Lock". Mustard Algae.H Thank you for your replies. I do have the TF100 test kit, but my test numbers are always different from the pool store (I compared about 3 different times), so I thought maybe I was doing the testing wrong. But I am slowly realizing...

I have mustard algae so I double-shocked the pool. It turned from blue green to milky blue with yellow algae on bottom. I took a water sample to the pool store the day after I shocked it. Here are my pool store readings: FC: 6.15 TC: 6.15 TA: 35 CA: 233 CYA: 103 PH: 8.0 Please note...

I had it tested at the pool store 6 hours ago. TA: 20 PH: 6.4 CYA 0 Total Hardness: 270 Total chlorine: 2.0 Free chlorine: 2.9 Oh, and about the CYA. They told me to add 4 lbs. CYA slowly in the skimmer last week and not to backwash for a week. When I asked about the CYA today, they said...

I meant it takes *4* loads to fill it. sorry.

I think I screwed up. I had a new vinyl liner installed last week. My pool is 18' x 38' and it takes 3 truckloads of water to fill it; however, since water is $225 per truckload, I bought 3 truckloads and decided to fill the rest of it with my water hose (to save $). It took 2 days to fill it...

Thanks, Jason!

I changed pool companies. I used to use the Sustain products, but now my new pool company sold me Cal Hypo shock in bags and trichlor tablets for the skimmer. I added the shock today, but I'm afraid to add the trichlor tablets just yet. Is it ok to mix the two? I'm thinking it's ok because...
