    Cotton like stuff in my pool

    Vinyl pool so not really worried about ch (its about 250) So if there is to much clarifier I need to slam? I was slaming but with the powdered cal hypo shock as I wasn't concerned about ch and I put about 25 gallons of liquid chlorine and got lazy.

    Cotton like stuff in my pool

    Here is a little that was in my skimmer basket. Also I put a skimmer sock and a few hours later it had a coating of blue like substance? Could that be from all the shock I put in?

    just opened my pool and no matter how much shock i put in when i test the water the fc is at close to 0

    But regardless I gather whether it's ammonia or not I should just continue shocking and checking levels every 30 minutes? I didn't want to waste shock if there was something else wrong and it was vanishing for no reason

    Hayward pool pump using as a portable vacuum no suction

    i fill it up with water to prime, the first 3 seconds it gives a quick suction and emptys out of water and will not suction! i have never done this before and never cared for a pool before but i dont think i am missing something
