    sagging pool Wall and safety

    for sure its either eroding or sinking or both. coupled with some winter heaving. At 2and 5/8 Maximum change in level is it system critical or can we get the season out of it. of courses thats a question that just isn't answerable given the gravity. thanks for you' all input

    this is mud, or pollen year after year lol

    Another note, somehow I got in my head that based on CYA of 40-50 that my FC range to be 3-6 when it should be 4-6. That right there was a big deal...So I was doomed from the start for not paying close enough attention to the numbers. Thanks again to everyone here.

    this is mud, or pollen year after year lol

    Good morning friends Im here with an update. I don't know exactly what that stuff was, but if a green filter is any indication; yes it was algae. After I added bleach rather than try to vacuum the debris i just brushed it up into the water. That seemed to be a better solution to attacking...

    yes... well theres no lightts and the ladder is on the deck :) ive scrubbed as best i can while standing on the top ring. dont think getting in the pool at FC26 or so is a good idea. speaking of appetites, thats something that i guess would be hard to determine without considering usage, but...

    wacky chem readings crystal clear pool (EDIT _ BAD TEST KIT)

    EDIT: Its confirmed my test kit was contaminated either by heat/cold or just plain old age. In any case Im leaving the original thread unedited to illustrate how important keeping test kits current, perhaps even fresh kit every year. The values for pH CYA and FC tests were inaccurate, all due...
