I meant my CC was at zero, my FC was at 7

My entire neighborhood is infested, all of the pools filled up in the last few days. It is the strangest thing

I was under the impression that once water temps dropped below 65 algae would not be an issue. I have ignored my daily routine and have checked the water once a week. Yesterday I noticed a ton of backswimmers in the pool. I assume this means I have algae. There is no algae visible, my water is...

I live in California so I will be keeping my pool open for winter but was curious about rain and how to drain the water. We do not have an overflow valve so I will have to do it manually. Above my pump, there is a spigot where I am able to attach a hose. Is this ok to use? Or do I need a sump...

Would there be a reason it goes up naturally? Mine has seemed to have gone up over the last month but I have not added any to the pool as of late.

Does cya go away on its own or just with loss of water?

Quick question, once I am considered out of the SLAM, is that when I look at adjusting my Ph and adding borates? Or do I need to wait until the levels on the chlorine are at a certain number before proceeding

Got it, this was definitely an issue of neglect by the builder. As long as its only affecting the pigment, im cool with that. I almost got worried.

For sure, I am glad that I found this site and appreciate how helpful everyone has been so far. Signature updated.

Short story. The pool has been done for three weeks. The guy responsible for set up and maintenance disappeared and the pool builder is not very helpful. “We build pools, we are not chemists” We have yellow algae already, so I am ready to slam. I have read through the pool school book but have...

I opened the autofill and the leak stopped. It was connected Friday but he did not open the valve. Fingers crossed that was it

i do have an autofill and he just connected it Friday afternoon. Thanks for the quick response.

We have just put in a pool, they put the acid in friday and we are brushing away, anxiously waiting to be able to swim. I am also dealing with a leak and the pool company is closed until Tuesday so that is exciting. Is anyone able to tell me what the plumbing with the yellow handles would be...

Are you able to identify the parts with the yellow handles. If I turn the water off here but keep running the pump will this be bad? This is a brand new pool, they set the pump to run 24hrs a day while they cycle out the acid wash on the plaster. This morning I went out and water was...
