I enjoy reading these long installation posts and was really interested in yours with that hill and the fact it was a DIY. I got to the part about your husband and was in tears. I just wanted you to know I'm glad he's ok. I'm so glad you got your pool also and get to enjoy it WITH him! I...

You're not alone! Been dealing with the same thing along with a few other people I've read. I've had spot on numbers and passed every OCLT I've done. I've kept FC up along with DE in my sand filter and it's helping A LOT. So, whether it's a weird algae or plain ole dirt, I'm not backing down...

I've been keepin FC up and DE in the filter. Today was the first day I hadn't cursed the pool. Only a few tiny clumps! Still no CC, have passed overnite tests, water has been sparkly whole time. Whatever it is, it's leaving and that's all I care about. :)

Hard to tell by picture. My SIL has brown crud too but doesn't look the same as mine. Mine's dirt, mud, rust color but when I brush, it poofs into green. Going to just hit even harder this shock, keep DE in it, and see what happens. 3rd time's a charm! (I hope!!!!!)

Duh! Omg that makes so much sense I feel stupid right now, lol. Thanks.

Yes, I do rinse after I backwash. Using plain ole bleach to chlorinate. The one and only time my FC dropped below recommended was last week when my daughter had a huge pool party. Tested at 1 and brought it up to 12 because it looked a bit hazy after having so many teens in there. This issue...

I am being driven crazy here. First order of buisness are my numbers: FC 11 Cc 0 Ph 7.2 Ta 80 Ch vinyl liner so didn't check it. CYA 30 As with a lot of other people, we have received an insane amount of rain this season. My backyard is surrounded by trees. My issue started second week...

I could have written your post as I'm going through the same thing. Pics look just like mine also but I had more of it. I noticed it two days before leaving on vacation last week and came back to a mess. I was stumped because my numbers were right on and water was clear(until I brushed), no...

It could be pollen. I thought something was wrong with my water too even though my numbers were perfect. Seemed like it would never go away or filter through. I got some skimmer socks and noticed almost immediately they were building up with a sandish colored goo. When it dried, it kinda...

Long story short, I got volunteered to help someone I barely know with their pool since I got mine looking SO awesome. Being the nice person I am, I don't mind sharing the knowledge I've learned here. I just don't want to make any mistakes. I was brought a water sample and this is what I...

I used 10ml of pool water for the Fc test. I followed the directions exactly every time I tried it. I did it again about 5 minutes ago with same results. Stays pink...I counted up to 78 and stopped. Used my oto and it read at 3. I REALLY want precise readings! That's why i ordered...

Ok...I did it again ...still it stays bright pink. Did the two level scoops instead of the heaping scoop this time. Maybe I got a bad one? I counted to 160 and the reagent is getting pretty low already. Never changed from the bright pink. What do you think about my cya? Any possible...

Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am sure I used the correct one. I just checked again upon your mention and it's right.

Hi. I have lurked all winter and was really excited to open the pool this year with my new found knowlegde. I just recieved my test kit...the tf-50 -today and couldn't wait to test my water the right way. Well, I don't think it likes me very much. First thing I did was my CYA. It showed up...
