Do you have a solar cover? Do you use granular stabilizer or liquid? Do not add a whole gallon of shock, I would only add enough to get to 5ppm fc and according to the pool calculator 35 oz of 10.5% liquid pool shock should get you in the ballpark. If you add a whole gallon you risk bleaching...

Liquid pool shock is just bleach in a higher concentration is all and it won't add any cya

Them won't work Intex has their own stupid thread size....go to Lowes and go to the electric aisle and look for the electric PVC adapters....they work it is what I used.......Mike - - - Updated - - - Also get rid of those Intex plunger valves they are way too restrictive put PVC ball valves...

Just what you said except test the water first and the add the proper amount of bleach to reach your TARGET level per your cya and then brush your pool......so you now will be the pump do it daily in the evening once the sun is off the pool....sure you may have a little dirt on the bottom but...

First things first lower the pH to 7.2 with muratic acid and add enough stabilizer to get you to around 30 ppm and go read pool school the article on slamming your pool.......ABC of water chemistry........Mike - - - Updated - - - Once you complete the above post.....SLAM AWAY.....and remember...

Re: Noob used a LOT of (Sodium Dichlor) "Shock Plus," Issues You can buy it from wall mart or rural king a lot cheaper....like 3 something a box.......gotta save where you can......lol......Mike

Better call them now and have your receipt ready........Mike

Your pH is most likely higher than 8.3

You need to get that pH down to around 7.4 using muriatic acid.....asap which will also lower the t/a a little bit which you need also....Mike

I have my cya at 50 and I target 8 ppm fc I test and add EVERY EVENING after the sun is off the pool back to 8 ppm a couple above my target of 6 ppm because I lose 2.5 ppm a day to the sun and bather load and 2 years running and have NEVER had to shock my pool.....BBB IS AWESOME........Mike

Just hang in there and follow the shock process to the tee and you WILL have a sparkling pool and have patience and tell the kids that once the pool is clean they will be the envy of the neighborhood........Mike

Not far at all buddy.....if you ever need any help with your pool give me a hollar......Mike

Hey SRWillis where in SW Ohio you located.......Middletown Ohio here........Mike

Re: How long before Acid begins to lower pool ph?18.000 gal Why are you adding zappit?

Have you thought about unhooking the copper plate on your swg? It will still produce chlorine it just won't add the copper.......Mike

You need to go through the shock process, you can read all about it in pool school.......Mime

Pool blaster catfish vacuum no hose, and battery operated and rechargeable that is what I use on my pool and love love love it........Mike

Well said pool mum.........Mike

As far as how long you have to backwash.....until the water in the sight glass is clear usually around 2 minutes but don't forget to rinse afterwards for about 45 seconds.....Mike

You may have asked the un-answerable question.....Mike

All pools are different so it is impossible to answer that question..too many factors play a role in this..but if your clean pressure is 10 you would backwash and rinse at 12.5 or 13.....how ever long it takes for that to happen is a mystery to me......like bigfoot......lol......Mike

It brings a tear to my eye seeing a beautiful pool like that in that condition......Mike

What is a IRL?

She is a lurker......lol

2 years running with the BBB method and never shocked the pool, but I am diligent with my testing same time every evening my wife knows where to find me.....pool side with my trusty test kit.......Mike

If you follow the TFP way you will be a success........bottom line.....Mike
