I checked the water level this morning, didn't move, I will check again in a few days. Cover is on now, so I am not sure if they stopped. I am hoping it was just bc I used an air compressor and the lines weren't completely clear of water and some air was trapped. I still have plenty of time...

Hello, I closed my pool myself for the first time this year. Everything seemed to go smooth. I used an air compressor to blow out the lines. I have three returns, all on the floor of the pool, one in the shallow end, one in the middle, one toward the deep end. I blew them all out closing the...

Thank you.

@JoyfulNoise Would it be a bad idea to try to use the Ascorbic acid to try to remove the stain it seemed to have caused?

I was hoping they would have faded by now, but look the same. So frustrating. I have other stain issues that drive me nuts, now I have added another to the list...

thank you.

Yes, left of middle top step. I didn’t spot treat that area, however, the area I spot treated also turned faint yellow. That area looked perfect before. I’m not sure, I rinsed off the sock and walked away, didn’t even think about it bc there was almost nothing in the sock. Came back sometime...

Rinsed the sock out after a quick spot cleaning, had only residue left in it, left a faint yellow stain. I have used it before without issue, not sure what happened this time, or what to do about it... The plaster is white and not blotchy, that is just the trees and cloudy reflection. Thank you.

Just updating incase someone might find this timeline helpful in the future. The day the water truck was supposed to come, water started testing closer to normal, and looking great. Results last night (after pool party): FC: 4.6 CC: 0 PH: 7.4... still doesn't seem to want to go up on its...

Im more concerned with the ph dropping. I’m still hopeful the chlorine will continue to work itself out.

Has been stable at 70, no dilution since last test. So I didn’t test again yesterday or today. I will do a full panel this weekend.

Yesterday Evening: FC: 7.4 CC: 1.8 This Morning: FC: 6.4 CC: 3.4 PH: 7.5 This Evening: FC: 0.6 CC: 0.4 PH: 7.0 TA: still 70, hasn't changed SWG is at 80% and filter has been running since 6AM. I don't get it. ** I added 2 gallons liquid chlorine yesterday evening.

I just re read another thread about the same issue, looks like I might need to call a professional. Ugh.

I tried to get a pic, but I don't think it will help much.... Above each skimmer, there is a length of exposed rebar directly under the coping, the coping was notched around it, a few inches above the water line. It was never covered, it has always been exposed. Pool was built last year, I...

No, winter cover has been off over a month. No other cover.

Besides the standard suggested chemicals to get pool balanced after opening, I have only used a few tablespoons of ascorbic acid on a couple small stains, and Jack's Magic Magenta to help keeps the stains away. Could either be the issue?

So for the first time since last summer my FC is a little higher than CC. I am not sure if I am finally getting over the hump or something else is happening? The TC has also been getting lower the last several days, even with me manually adding liquid chlorine. I still plan to get some clean...

Side note, I have been using PoolPure carts for two weeks. They seem to be contributing to the cloudyness if I am guessing. When I took them out to rinse them today, the hose sprays right thru them, to the middle of the cart. I am sending them back. Maybe the OEM carts will clear up the water?

I have been using them for two weeks, I have had a cloudy pool for two weeks. I took them off to clean them and the water sprays right thru to the middle, like a stream thru the filter. The OEM do not. I am sending them back.

I changed the filters two weeks ago to new filters. My plan is to pull the housing apart this weekend to make sure that is not an issue, I might throw the original filters back in to see if that helps, they have only been used for one summer. Is it possible with the ph (and everything else) in...

I am not sure if this question can be answered, but I am convinced I am still battling plaster dust as a result of the stain "treatment" I cannot seem to get the water clear unless I stop brushing or keep the vac out. Every day I am finding dust on the floor when brushing, I am pretty confident...

"Periodically do an OCLT to detect any excessive organic buildup. As long as you're passing the OCLT, your total chlorine level should be adequate." So in my case, am I looking to TC to remain stable overnight? Or the small amount of FC that registers? Thank you.

It's still well water (but comes from about 30 mins away from my house), but it is the only option where I live. They supply all pool companies and hotels in the area. I know It's a gamble, but I'm hoping to more quickly resolve the CC issue by diluting as much as reasonably possible without...

I talked to a pool water company today, they can provide 6000 gallon loads of water. Would 6,000 gallons be enough to make a difference? 12,000? I don't want to go thru the effort / expense if that wont get me closer to back on track. Thanks again.

What a disaster.

I am on a well, I am not comfortable pumping that much water from it at once, don't want to burn up the well pump. I am under the impression that the acid issue should resolve on it's own at some point, am I mistaken? Could the sulfamic acid still be causing plaster dust at this point?

August 2023 I treated my plaster pool with Jacks Magic Stain Solution #2, I wish I hadn't. Closed the pool in September (FC/CC off), Opened it April 28th, 2024. Water looked fine, but once I brushed I had some sediment on the bottom, it stirred up and clouded the pool, a few days later it seemed...

That particular stain covers the entire pool. Just dirty and blotchy looking.
