Thanks for the reply waterbear, If it is the copper carbonate precipitating out, how do I prevent that from happening? How do I make it go away for good? Vaccuuming gets rid of it but it reappeared the next day, should I just keep vaccuuming it up and hope it doesnt re-appear or is there...

The chlorine present in the pool is only from shocking it with liquid chlorine from the pool store. I had it in a reply to your post above but you might have missed over it. Would you guys reccomend me throwing in another jug of liquid chlorine and just shocking the Crud out of anything in...

I just went out to the pool again to try and scoop some of the mystery green stuff out of the water but my skimmer net wouldnt grab any of it and when I disturbed the green stuff it just dissolved into the water. Does algae do this? I thought it stuck fairly well to whatever it was attached to?

Hey everyone, Here are the results from the pool store.. Volume: 21000 Gallons pH : 7.6 Total Chlorine: 3 Free Chlorine: 3 Total Alkalinity: 80 (says I need to raise this) Adjusted Alkalinity (??? says it adjusts to account for high stabilizer levels): 59 Stabilizer: 70 Calcium Hardness: 120...

Actually, I'll run to the pool store right now and get my levels tested by them for any stabilizer and anything else my test kit doesnt test for. Back in 20 mins. Thanks again everyone

The chlorine present in the pool is only from shocking it with liquid chlorine from the pool store. I took the cover off the pool from the winter 3 days ago, and the pH was around 5-6 so I added a few pounds of baking soda to get it back up and then added a jug (pretty sure its 1 gallon) of...

duraleigh: The C-Pool is a copper-sulfate mineral treatment ( http://www.debmar.com/pool/what.html ) If the copper levels are too high and the chlorine is reacting with the copper then is the green stuff dangerous? Is the stuff that re-appeared just coming back through the filter or is it the...

Hey there, Just got my pool up and running and the numbers near perfect (my test kit only shows up to "5" as a level of chlorine): 5+ FC & TC 7.2-7.4 pH 90-100 Alkalinity I am using a mineral treatment that I have had great success with the last couple years called C-Pool and once I had the...

Well I just kinda banged the plug up in there and its not leaking anymore so we'll see how it holds up. Retapping the hole would be my next option though. Thanks for the help!

It is a SwimQuip sand filter, not sure of the model (label ripped on filter), but its about 4 feet high and a couple feet in diameter, and I would guess it's at least 5-10 years old. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I am just trying to get my pool open and clear the water up but when I go to screw in my filter's drain plug it doesn't catch the threads to screw in. It's like the threads are gone on the inside of the filter and upon visual inspection there is what looks like rust in and around...
