My biggest concern is a sudden, structural failure that is massive. The way the yard is, 5000 gallons would all go toward our neighbor. I know you can't tell me to fill or not fill, but what would be done signs that it's time to drain before it just falls apart?

And what are the signs you're seeing with the liner? I don't know what I'm looking for in that area.

So you're saying, in your opinion, it's better not to fill it?

@Newdude : lol. No judging me. Judge the pool all you want. @dBsooner : it just sat stagnant.

Please no judgmental comments. We didn't close down our pool for the winter. We didn't last winter either, but were able to get it up and running. It's been uncovered since we got it in May 2020 I know what to do to get the water clear, but I'm wondering if the liner is too compromised? I've...

My chlorine is 0, cya is 0, pH is at least 8.2, and TA is 200. I just added 8 ounces of dry acid (because that's all I had). Will add the rest of the recommended 31 oz after I go to the pool store. I need to scrub the sides of the pool and vacuum, which I prefer to do from in the pool. Plus my...

I'm bumping the chlorine up to SLAM level one more time today and then I'm calling it DONE! It holds overnight (9 to 8.5), the CC is .5 and the water looks like a fresh fill. Thanks @Newdude, @Mdragger88, and everyone else for your help. My husband has been blown away by how great it looked and...

Here's the bleaching (i know it needs vacuuming :) )

I'll take pics in the morning. I was slowly pouring the chlorine in, but not spreading it out. I couldn't see the bottom ship didn't know it was causing bleaching.

So I've bleached part of my liner on accident. Is it compromised, like does that make the vinyl thinner somehow?

Dang! Ok. Point taken, lol.

We can see the bottom today and it's holding chlorine and CC is.5. There's still more SLAM to go?

*edit* just read the TA portion in ABCs and now i understand why it probably doesn't matter that it's high. Really? There's no negative effects? The recommended range is 50-90.

Is the TA reading during a SLAM accurate? I tested FC, CC, TA, and CYA tonight. Everything was good except the TA. It's 170.

It's still cloudy but i can see the bottom! And i just vacuumed and the water didn't get cloudier.

I can see the bottom step. Hoping we can swim tomorrow!

Sweet, thanks! And YAY for coffee!

It was more for curiosity. Makes me feel like there is hope if it's holding chlorine, lol

No worries. Just did an OCLT and went from 15FC to 14FC. Still cloudy so will keep SLAMming Thanks for all the help so far everyone. I would have given up by now if i was doing this on my own.

I added twice the recommenced amount of chlorine and went from FC of 11.5 to 15 in 30 minutes.

🤷‍♀️ idk

I figured the chlorine for 6000 for the last FC reading and the recommended addition was only 1 oz more. Doesn't seem significant. But I'm going to still stick with my plan with checking 15-30 minutes after each addition to make sure it's not the bleach.

Hulk brain hurt...lol. 5700. It's close enough that I'm just going to go with the full 6000 Thanks @Bperry

Just measured and it's 8in below full to the brim.

True.
