Clear and more of a blue clear rather than the green clear. I can't wait for crystal clear! :-D

Wednesday's Readings: FC .2 TC .3 CC .1 pH 7.5 Hardness 99 Alk...

:-D I did put a small dose of chlorine in Tuesday night after Jacks Magenta had some time to work. I do not want to deal with algae, though like you said with that much copper, highly doubtful.

Hello all, still fight the pool. :) Mondays readings: FC .1 TC .1 CC .1 pH 7.5 Hardness 105 Alk 126 CYA 60 Copper .25 As you can see copper is down, but that has happened before. I did put more Jack's in Monday and will get a copper reading today. I wanted to give it a little time to try and...

JamesW - I "might" just take out a sample of water and use some banana peels- just to see- a private experiment. All the articles are very interesting and while not a known, proven process I would be curious to see if there is any change in the water. ChemGeek- CuLator ordered. :) Status as...

I'll try it. What could it hurt at this point? Any suggestions on how to do it?

If that would work I would be at Krispy Kreme right now!!!!

No heater. We are in Atlanta. It is plenty hot! 6 years old.

The only algaecide we did add at at opening (May 1st) was a non copper based 60. The pool is still crystal and green. I do not have all my numbers in front of me but the copper is now reading at 4.7. :shock: Ugh! Everything else but the calcium was in range. (The calcium is low which we know...

To answer the last few questions: I did start vacuuming to waste, thought there was not a speck on the bottom! LOL. The water runs to a natural area we have. I do understand that the Frog system states that it is silver & limestone, but other then the Frog we have no clue where such a high...

I have never drained more than just a backflush. What is the best way to do that?

:) I feel for her! I have been scared to death to get in when the water turned green. It has been 90+ degrees here for a while and I am soooo tired of looking at the pool.

Thanks for the welcome. I am still reading Pool School and trying to absorb so much info! LOL

I was just playing with that but THANKS! for telling me the %. This is all so new. I am so mad at my pool store for costing me so much money and for listening to them!

Hey I am blond! :thequeen: Thanks Butterfly!

All of it? :shock:

Okay, I am reading pool school now and do see some charts, but I am still unsure how much bleach to add. Should I add bleach and just keep going to the pool store for readings until I can get a kit in? Heading to order kit now. Thanks JasonLion on the hair info. :)

Yes the CY is the CYA. Forgot the A. I appreciate all your comments and replies. I just went out and took out the BacPac & Mineral Pack from the pool. We have been replacing much water from the heat and all the back washing which is what made me suspect the Frog. You would think that the...

Is there another sequestrant other then the ones I listed? I have asked over and over about the Frog and they swear it is not it!! If I take that out what should I do about the chlorine?

I do not know what to do or where to go and found this website. Almost $1,000 later and I still have a high concentration of copper in my pool. No one can figure out where the copper has come from or how to get rid of it. This began May 1st and we are at the same point we started. A sort of...
