Oof. I've just stumbled back on the site and still relearning. I'll try to find the settings and look into that, signature is probably for my old pop up. I think that was over a decade ago. I just randomly remembered the BBB system to get back to this site 😉 not after using what I have on...

Thank you so much for the direct links! I've struggled with keeping the chlorine up but we've been vacuuming, refilling, dragging out leaves and dead worms, brushing, brushing, brushing. Lots of backwashing/rinse cycles in between. We have set the robo vac in a few times now to help get any...

It's been a LONG time since I last visited this site. Going to start reading up but thought I would post my before to after pics so far as I've taken my goth black pool to crystal blue. I think I started a little early and was a bit ill equipped, so it's taken about 2 weeks to get to this...

unfortunately the shock was dichlor. Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione 58.2% other 41.8% I am surprised I didn't do more damage by doing what I did. I was a bit naive to think that these little pools were any easier to operate than a larger pool. If anything it may be a little harder because...

OK. Thank you l so much, that is exactly what I was hoping. I was afraid to do anything more. My last conversion would be using liquid bleach and no tabs at all. But other than that, I feel like you guys are really smart and I have learned a ton on this site! I will check my levels in a few...

Not really any of my business, but I use the Chrome browser and in the print menu you can chose "save to PDF". This may be worth a shot if you plan to share the Pool School documents in multiple user friendly formats... :lol: Hope that is a little helpful, as I considered doing just that! Misty

my water looks great. My son says it is "thin" compared to his grandma's which indicated to me that her water is full of "stuff". Should I wait to add more stabilizer until a full week has passed? I read in pool school and also in this thread that it doesn't show for a week. Additionally, I am...

Got my TF100 test kit in the mail yesterday afternoon :whoot: here are the results: Free Chlorine: 5.5 Combined Chlorine: .5 Total Chlorine: 6 Total Alkalinity: 160 Ph: 7.2 Calcium Hardness: 150 CYA: >20 ( I could see the dot after using every drop of solution) I performed this test twice...

My pool is 14' x 39", which equates to 3.25 ft deep, round. The calculator says 3700 gallons. The chart that came from hth says its 2600 gallons. I keep it an inch or so below the fill line because the inflatable ring pools tend to dump if the kids really make waves. Should I change my signature...

I am trying to find a pool store nearby that tests water with drop kits instead of computers :s I have read and reread the pool school, but as a newbie, I am still a bit confused. I guess what worries me is that I put a full bag of shock when I think (now) that I only needed a 1/2 a bag. I also...

I went ahead and put my order in for the tf 100. It is pricey, but I figure I need more tests for cya and that perhaps I qualify for troubled water, since last time it went green. Is there much I can do in the Interim? I considered the tf 50 kit, but the 100 made more sense .especially because...

I just dumped, scrubbed & refilled our pop up pool after it went green while on vacation. I used no cleaners when I dumped the pool, only clear water and a shop vac :) I added 4 oz algeacide, and 1 lb shock. (I am now wondering if that was way too much given the size of our pool.) I did a strip...
