Opened our pool and it has been green since we opened it a week and a half ago. 15 gallons of chlorine, 6 bags of shock and 24/7 pump running along with backwashing twice a day and its a lighter shade of green. I've run the dolphin Half a dozen times to get the deteriorated leafs that were at...

Just want it to look halfway presentable for company on Friday evening. We are done swimming for the year. Is 4 packets of shock crazy? 16x32 in ground. yes I have a real test kit (from this site) but I know just from experience that I need to SLAM it

For a ultra fine mesh cover. Its a 16' x 32' in ground without any steps. They said they would take my old cover and use it as a template. We have a TON of leaves and they sat on the old cover and broke down all year long to the point where the pool took 2.5 weeks to clean and clear up when we...

I use the TF-100 test kit. My TC was off, as was my Alkalinity. It told me to lower PH to 7.0-7.2 before treating Alk. I got my PH down to 7.1/7.2 using muriatic acid and now im ready to treat the Alk but I cant get the calculator to tell me what to do next? I have Borax ready. I think thats...

Let me preface this by saying I just found this forum a day or so ago and I just ordered my TF-100 test kit You see progress pics below of the last three days of the newly opened pool. All I have to go by right now is the strip test kit until the TF-100 arrives, but I dont want to waste...

Its about 10 feet from my pool and level with it.

Im going to attempt to use JB Water weld for a short term fix while I order another valve but im open to other suggestions. Its sucking air enough to where I dont have enough suction to vacuum at this point...(dont mind the shaving cream, thats how I found the leak lol). Its leaking where the 2"...

Any idea why this would happen? I turn the pump off and the water backs up and bubbles out the skimmer, to the point where it blows the lid off. Is this normal?

We bought the house last fall and had it professionally closed. I opened it up to this mess about a week ago. I had it pretty clear with just a bunch of sediment on the bottom. I put the vacuum in to do its thing yesterday and now it looks like this today and I cant get enough suction out of the...
