I can finally see the bottom now. Crystal Clear! Thanks for the encouragement!

I was worried about copper again but I can tell a big difference in the colors from before to now.

Here's the color before I drained and refilled.

So it's not green or teal. Just blue!

CYA is about 25..Need to increase a tad free chlorine present 17.5 chlorine 0 total chlorine ? Back to teal water. Started out light green

Pool was drained yesterday. Left about 12 inches of water. Refilling now. Boosted the CYA. pH is a 7.5. Slamming process starting soon!!!

Walmart yesterday! :(

I live in Smallville. There are literally 5 Wal-marts within an hour's drive and everyone I've called doesn't have it. I'll work on getting it drained. Thank you!

The algaecide had the word blue in it. :( I haven't been able to use liquid chlorine (every single Walmart locally is out) and we can't find bleach. I've been using a powered shock and tabbed chlorine from the pool store this year. Super shock and algaecide shock.

Just one bottle of algaecide in the fall. We did a partial refill last spring. I started with a dark green slimy pool!

Yes, I held it for about a week and a half at about 40 ppm before I decided that I needed it tested for the teal color. Should I give it another round of slamming or take out some water? How much water should I remove?

I've been fighting teal water now for almost 3 weeks. I've slammed repeatedly with zero luck. Took my water to the pool store and they said my Copper is too high and reccomend a $50 product. I can see halfway down then beyond that, visibility is gone.I did use an algaecide last fall when...

Day 5! Cleaning, brushing and adding chlorine. The swamp smell is gone.

You're much further north than me!

I know y'all love pictures. Heres my swamp! Ph was adjusted to 7.2 CYA was 30 Slammed last night (I was a little over on my chlorine measurement) FC testing at at 14. Can't wait to get off work to retest, vacuum and brush!

Thank you! Will do! I can see the bottom of my pool today! Very dirty, but hey I can see it! I've had my pump shutoff for about 4 days now. Just adding chlorine daily to keep the bugs out.

So, I left my free chlorine drop back down to normal and re tested ph and its fine. But I did find my problem. Attached are my pictures of the sand I've vacumed up from the bottom of my pool. I've inspected the laterals in my tank and everything looks good. Seems to me that what we purchased is...

So I took the plunge yesterday and hopped in and cleaned my pool. It was cold! I was expecting to find tons of leaves, but I only cleaned out about 8 of them. What I did net out was small Crud and little branches. There is a Darn ton of sand close to the filter against the wall. My cleaner...

68 here in lower PA!

I'm filling the tube to the 10 ml line then adding 2 scoops of powder. It instantly turns to pink. I then add 1 drop at a time and swirling until it changes to clear. 29 drops to clear x .5 is 14.5 ppm for free chlorine. Water temp is 68 degrees with no cover. The water in the pool has...

2800 gph pump The sand was filled to the mid line when we installed.
