Everyone has been a huge huge help, thank you so much! I've followed all the instructions and my pool is clear blue, it's never looked this good! I just measured FC(2 ppm), ph(7.8-8.2?), and CYA(30 ppm). Just double checking I'm on the right path in regards to my targets and how much to add(I...

Thanks so much! My pool is filling now and probably the clearest its been since we moved in! After full and circulated for 2 hrs I'll get CYA to 30 ppm (via sock method), then ph to 7.2, then FC to 12 ppm (via SLAM method with liquid chlorine) and then remeasure CYA. Please let me know if I am...

Thanks, I just bought a 50 lbs bucket of 3" tabs so hoping I can use them but will look to switch to liquid chlorine... Is it more expensive than tabs? Anything I should look for, I was surprised to find 90% other ingredients listed on what is available at Lowes and Walmart. Is this OK or should...

Thanks everyone so much for all the help!!!! Pool is draining now, I measured the fill water CH = 250 ppm & TA = 140 ppm. Below is a picture of pH, I'm guesstimating a little above 8.2? Once the pool is drained I'll brush the green / algae from all surfaces, should I use liquid chlorine on...

I stopped at 71 drops on calcium test as the water didn't change to blue. I stopped at 80 drops on the Alkalinity test as the color was pink but not yet red. Im taking a sample to pool store as a sanity check to see what they say calcium and alkalinity levels are. It sounds like draining pool is...

We purchased a house with a pool w/ a missing drain cover. There are 2 drains, 1 with cover, 1 without. House built in 2001(pool installed same time)... I'd like to replace the drain cover but not sure what I need to buy? Suggestions?

The pool is pebble tech. The pavers and coping are attached to the cool deck(deck structure), they are just for looks. This picture helps to show the cool deck under the coping if helpful for understanding. Far left is pebble tech, then cool deck, and the coping mounted to cool deck.

We had pavers/coping installed over the top of our coool decking 4 years ago. The coping are coming lose. It looks like they used thin set? I have a grinder and think I need to grind the thin set off the bottom/sides of paver and cool decking then score the cool decking using a 4.5" diamond...
