Ugh. Thanks- appreciate your time

Yikes. Okay. Thank you for the advice. Should I trash the monthly salt maintenance stuff?

Yes, monthly but not since May.... What do I do now

I had it on hand and thought - why not? Bad decision?

Well, I added chlorine (FC is now 13.5) but still yellow. Suggestions Link to my pool logs: PoolMath Logs

Yep, Overnight test: FC dropped from 9.5 to 7 (was 9.5 because I had run the Intex SWG boost all day yesterday. Here is a link (thanks for showing me how to provide ) PoolMath Logs

Water has been crystal clear until this yesterday. Here’s the latest data. Would appreciate advice on how to correct.

Out of balance thanks to the heavy down pours this week. Rains are over now. Have kept solar cover on pool and know FC will go down when I pull back and get some sunlight on the water. Have also bypassed the chlorinator right now too so not adding more. Should I be concerned about the low pH...

Well- looks like I way overshot the FC. Have shut off chlorinator and pulled the solar blanket off half the pool to let the sun do it’s thing. Question- should I try to adjust the AL and CY now or wait until the FC is more in line. Didn’t know if addressing in will impact the others. Advice? TIA!

Solid blanket!!’

How do I figure out how much Liquid chlorine bleach to use?

Hello all - added salt and stabilizer. here’s my results. Suggestions? . Haven’t turned in chlorinator yet, will do so for a few hours this afternoon then retest.

Currently pulling water out of the pool in order to fix a leak in my skimmer to pump hose connection. As I stand here watching, I figure there’s got to be a better way. What creative ways do you suggest I cover that hole so I don’t have to drain all this water out next time ?

Thanks for the idea. I hadn’t thought of it that way. I can move the location but it would still be more than 6’ from the pump. Guessing 12’. Thoughts on hoses?

Bought SunHeater S120U Universal Solar Pool Heater 2 by 20-Feet last year, used to extend my season BUT I never achieved a leak free connection to 1.5” vacuum hose. Tried flex seal tape, as well as various connectors. Want to start this spring off right with a worry free connection. Pics...

Thank you! FC too high because of my own error. Learning a lot with this first closing

poolside Defend+ I have a vinyl lining - slammed FC won’t hurt it?

CYA is 40, FC 23 (down from 29 last Sunday) with freeze warnings the next two nights I am assuming I should run the pump 24/7 while waiting for the FC to come down to 15. Then alegocide for 24 and close. Is this assumption correct? a better/different way to handle?

Can someone help me understand the possible consequences of closing with the FC too high? Temp lows will near freezing by end of week? Do I go ahead and put the algecide in while the FC is still in the mid 20s then finish closing? Or, Do I keep the pump running so nothing freezes and wait for...

CleaneD and SLAMMED the pool yesterday. FC is at 29 this am. Overcast here and suppose to rain 2 days mid week. Would appreciate suggestions on how to handle given it is going to take a while for the FC to get to around 15 so I can put the alegcide in. Am using a leaf net. In a catch 22...

I have made two attempts to do so - no luck, so here is the info from my profile. Hope this helps: AG Summerwaves (intex) 12x24 soft side ultra frame pool, Intex saltwater 2100 gph pump, Taylor K-2006C test kit I am thinking the 2 packages of TurboShock will bring the FC up. Is that correct...
