    I want to swim today-sparky pool with little green powder in bottom

Absolutely no green powder at the bottom...I have maybe 12 tabs left in going to use those and I’m going back to liquid chlorine....I’m in love with the pool again 😂I still have all the equipment in...

    I want to swim today-sparky pool with little green powder in bottom

    Update I turned pumps off and put a hose in the bottom of the deep end anchored. Overflowing the pool for 3 days. Got cya down to 50 with the dot test . I put 3 bags of shock in it knowing this will raise my cya ( I like it around 60-I’m full sun Houston) I mixed and turned water features on for...

    New Still learning this method glad to find y’all

    I’m going to try to get my cya down then do the slam method... my cya is close to 100 so I guess I’ll need to address that first, because lookin at the chart it looks like I’d have to have a chlorine level of 39 to shock it... I don’t know how to do that. I have a Taylor kit that measures free...
