Yes 24/7 the pump is running. I have maintained shock level or a tad higher the whole time ☺️. We have been vacuuming, brushing daily, and backwash as needed

We did take the stairs out first day. Good to know we’re still okay. Thank you!

Me again 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I feel like we’re at a stand still. We still have the bright blue but I’m not seeing any clearing up. I have been brushing daily, backwashing as needed, my FC is at 27 and CYA steady at 60. Is there something else I should be checking?

Awesome! I’m a little anxious about messing it up more 😬

Yes, didn’t know if the 30 would hurt anything. Good deal 👍🏽

My CYA is steady at 60 buuuut my fc is too high. It’s at 30 🤦🏻‍♀️. Do I just let the sun burn it off? Last night my fc was at 26.5 before adding chlorine.

We’re making progress 🤗🤗🤗😱

I turned that darn perma soft thing off and plan on just removing it. I ended up with the TF-100 test kit.

I have read it, we will be starting it this evening. I’m very excited at the thought of having a pool blue again and maintaining from here!

Thank you very much! I was just puzzled when the water was blue with pump off. I didn’t think algae would settle to the bottom. I have a green pool though, so what do I know. :sneaky:

are the pool store test accurate at all? I’m just curious about my copper being 2 and curious if that has anything to do with my green water? I ask because my pump accidentally got unplugged for about 6-8 hours. When I looked at pool it was blue, not clear but definitely blue. Once I turned pump...

Does PH: 6.8 TA: 90 make more sense?

:unsure: Well heck, I’ll repeat it to double check. My first time with this kind of test :sneaky:

Sorry I had forgot that one but PH was at 6.8

Yay! I got my test kit today and here we go: CYA: 54ish FC: 2 TC: 2 CC:0 TA: 90 PH: 6.8

Got it, that was the level when I took the water sample to Leslies.

With a CYA of 111, would it be best to begin a partial drain?

Ok took water sample to Leslie’s while getting a better kit. This is where I am FC: 13.03 TC: 15 PH: 7 TA: 18 CYA: 111

Awesome, thank you! Hope to get this thing clear soon. I have spent so much on chemicals that the pool vendor has suggested and haven’t gotten anywhere but empty pockets 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Which chlorine is best, once I’m able to test with proper test kit?

Thank you! Happy to be here and try to maintain a clear pool! I do have a 3 way test kit, that I haven’t tried. I’ll definitely get your recommended one ASAP! My pool is 21,300 gallons and I have used the pool math app to calculate correct amount of chlorine to add. Is it pretty accurate on the...

I’m needing some help before I surrender to this pool! Since the epic winter freeze and crazy south Texas rain we have been unsuccessful at clearing it up. I have added algicide, granular chlorine, shock, and chlorine tablets. It simply won’t budge. We do have a perma salt system but I’m not...
