    CC keeps rising

    This is my 6th day of slamming a swamp and my CC keeps going up. Pool is losing less FC overnight but still significant and water is still cloudy blue/grey. Didn't check CC at first but after a couple of days I noticed the smell and it was at 1.5. two days later it was 2 and today its 2.5...

    It just keeps coming back over and over :-(

    I keep pool at 8 ppm and it drops to 5 each day. No OCL. Something in pool gathers at seams and wrinkles and when I sweep I discover I’ve got a dull covering of something that sweeps into a greenish cloud. Slammed at 16 for several days brushing 2 times a day. 1.5 chlorine loss first night...

    Dead algae in pool but water IN sand filter gross green

    Not sure where my bloom came from - taken everything out of the pool and never let the FC get below 2. Had husband take lid off sand filter tonight and the water in there is gross green. I've had it at 17ppm for 24 hours and the stuff in the pool is dead. Shouldn't the stuff in the sand...

    Chlorine isn't killing Algae!

    New to board and this is my first attempt at BBB and I'm getting discouraged. I'm on day 3 of "turning my swamp into a sparkling oasis". The bloom was only about 4 days old when I started this process but still nice and deep green. No solids in pool and I've kept it at 14 FC for 2 full days...

    Safe to run sweeper when shocking the whooey out of pool?

    I'm turning my pea soup back to a sparkling oasis! I'm hoping to let the pump run for an hour or so after last treatment so the chlorine is circulated and then plug in the Polaris 65 sweeper I have to stir up any algea i missed manually sweeping - since I can't see what I'm doing :) Thought...
