Just converted our fiberglass pool to a salt system. Haven't opened pool yet. What are the steps to opening up this May? Should I still SLAM with bleach like in years past and then add the salt after I get correct levels?

It's like a flexible mat.

Thanks. Yes there has been issues in the past during the previous owners. Now I just have to figure out if I want to tackle this myself.

Here's some wider shots of the tiled wall.

Need help with trying to fix an issue where my flexible tile is needing some repair. We just bought the house so we are new pool owners. It looks like repairs have been performed in this area in the past. The previous owners are not willing to provide help (karma). What should I use to fix this...

So...... The pool is looking better and better each day. I'm still Slamming because it's not exactly clear yet. My CYA has been dropping slowly due to vacuuming a little to waste everyday and adding in new water that is double filtered! See my new filter: I made b(no no more added iron!) I've...

While I’m still Slamming should I still not test and adjust PH, Calcium, Alkalinity? The water is still cloudy and has small piles of cloudy stuff.

Yes. The filters I’m talking about are the house filters that filter the water coming in from well. I have turned them back on. Hopefully this sloves the rusty water.

It does look like this:

There's no markings on it and Still waiting for return phone call. It's not to transparent. Pretty sure it's for filtering metals. The neigborhood (I just learned) is full of iron wells!

Will do. The sock does catch some rust color. Maybe with the polyfill and the sock we'll catch more. I'll keep SLAMing. And turn those filters back on to our well water. In researching online I have a water softener and some other big filter.

Thanks. I do have a sock on my skimmer basket. I'll get some poly-fill also. I do have water softener (salt bin) and another big canister looking filter. Not sure what it is. Waiting on a call from the company who installed. Earlier on I emptied 40% of the pool and refilled with our well water...

FC 12.5 CC .5 PH 8.1 CH 158 CYA 30 Iron .7

I went to see the pool today (2pm) and here's my levels: FC 13.5 CYA 35 CC .5 PH 7.8 (I'm still slamming) Alk 90 CAL 190 Water has a rust color to it now. I vacuumed to filter (not waste). Brushed pool for good 30 mins. Will keep doing for another 5 days (total would be 2 weeks and then start...

My starting PH was 7.4 CYA is now at 38 and keeping FC at 16. CC is at .5 or less.

Thanks. Following Slam process. Should I not vacuum up the dead algae piles that I see? Should I use my pool cleaner (Dolphin Triton PS)? Should I brush more than once daily? Pool is getting greener and darker than when I started.
