ill reread the procedure to make sure im doing it correctly.

opened up my pool over a week ago and slammed it to get it blue, i had the robot going and getting a lot of debris off the floor and brushed walls during the whole process. I'm at a point where Ive ran the pump for days straight and its not getting any noticably clearer. I'm using brand new...

Awesome, thanks!

Ok, I think I’m gonna give it a go with 2 inch plumbing then, here’s what I drew up for plans and I think this should give me the ability to skip the filter and SWG, as well as providing me with a way to vacuum to waste. Thoughts?

Yeah, I guess my issue is that if I could get away with using 2” pipe it would all be very easy. I’m fairly handy and redid some of the plumbing last year because I removed a non functioning heater so I had to tie things back in. So I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this with using...

So I bought this combo containing a new pump, pre-filter, filter, and SWG. I’m a bit stuck on what’s the best way to plumb these considering all the parts are sized for 2” pipes and I have 1.5” The manuals say not to have a larger diameter pipe on the return side than is on the suction side...

I believe that for sure, was mostly interested in the copper levels I did my home test and got PH - 7.4 TA - 90 CYA - 60 CH - 30 FC - 0

Thanks, This is the first year opening the pool myself since last year I didn’t open it and year before the seller of the house did the opening and I totally forgot all the lessons I learned that first year. do you think we risk staining if I slam now? Free copper was at 0.4 as of this...

I’m currently draining and refilling my pool a few inches at a time to lower CYA and copper (0.4 ppm) after I foolishly added copper based algicide that the pool store sold me. I’m especially worried about staining my vinyl liner once I start the SLAM. I know I’m gonna have to rebalance th get...

Ok, I can cancel that order if you think that's wise, since according to the bleach price calculator the powder is $0.348 per oz vs $0.373 per oz for the liquid at my local store which is not a big difference and then I don't need to mess with dissolving the powder. PH-7.4 TA-100 CH- 30 (don't...

I do have a k-2005 test kit and bought a fas-dpd addition that should arrive tomorrow. I find it a bit annoying to read sometimes when the colors don't exactly align so I used them to double check and I like having it printed out. I also don't follow their printouts and will use the pool math...

Long story short, here’s where I’m at: I opened the pool on May 14th and have been fighting it this whole time! Hundreds of dollars in chemicals and electricity down the drain. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve backwashed. I’ve got a 35k Gallon inground/vinyl pool Went to pool store to...

That makes a lot of sense, thank you I do have 2 eyeballs on the shallow end that push the water towards the deep end where the skimmers are. And some other thing the might be an eyeball that was plugged in the deep end near the ladder. Never unplugged it since I wasn’t sure if that was maybe a...

So I didn’t open the pool this year but last year was my first year of home ownership. I have a fiberglass slide that had broken hoses and missing nozzles so I figured I’d be able to fix it by buying one of the pool slide spray kits After setting it up, the pressure was terrible. I’ve since...
