Can I ask what are the perfect numbers I am trying to hit?

Ok, yall I am back.. I got my test kit in today and ran some test. After adding 10 gallons of liquid chlorine and added some DE to our sand filter our pool is sparkling and totally clear and has been for the 2 days while waiting on the test kit. Here are the numbers that came from the test...

Every day?!?!?! Eeeek....no wonder so many use pucks. Lol

Y'ALL!!!! My pool is clear!!!! This is even after a good amount of rain over night. Thank you all for helping me through my first SLAM. Now to figure out how to keep it like this without pucks and my auto chlorinator. One question. Anything special I need to do if we are forecast for storms...

By the time my test kit gets here will it be too late to test my CYA since I have been adding liquid Chlorine?

I know about my test kit. I'm waiting for mine to come in

Ok just went out and tested again. I put the 2nd treatment in about 5 hours ago and now this is how my test reads. I work and leave the house at 5am and dont return until 6 at night so it can be hard to test more than once or twice a day. I do see that my ph went up since I started yesterday...

What is Chlorox Germicidal bleach? Where do you even get it or is that just regular old chlorox bleach?

Ok, I am a little confused. I put 2 gal of liquid chlorine in last night, 2 more today and the the pool is still green. no change and chlorine levels are not up. Should I be adding more than once a day. The pool has been running 24 hours and back washed twice, brushed down yesterday and...

Thank you, Yes ACE is not too far from us at all.

So I bought out Walmarts supply of liquid chlorine. I bought 12 gallons. Hopefully it will get me through SLAM if not I will find it somewhere else and buy some more. I work so I will try to check water before work and then for sure after work.

Thank you...off to walmart I go. Do I need to do anything to the ph?

ok, now Im going to sound really dumb. I need to go back to all my notes and read again how much 10ppm is :-(

Had more rain today and now the pool looks like this. Also here is my ph I just took. Was showing some chlorine yesterday, today nothing. Pool temp is like very warm bath water.

I have the , Tests for Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Acid Demand, and Total Alkalinity .

thank you

Thank you for the HD suggestion. Ours does not have any or didnt last weekend. I have already checked about buying in bulk or refill. I have not found anywhere as of yet.

I will check my Walmart today or tomorrow. What brand is yours carrying, do you know?

May I ask where everyone is buying their chlorine from? I know shelf life is important and making sure it is not old after reading threads. I am also wondering if more people just go for the bleach or the actual liquid chlorine? I am just starting to move myself to the TFP way of pool upkeep...
