If my pool holds 17,000 gallons (its 28' round 4' deep) what should my ph level be? I'm trying to determine how much borax I need to add. My ph is 7.2 now chlorine is on the high side.

Is Chlorine all I need to kill algae?

I don't know what that means .

There was some algae in the pool today so I vacuumed. The results are: FC - 8.5 CC - 5.5 Alkalinity - 280 CYA - 40 PH - 7.5 The Pool Calculator says shock 15 - mustard algae shock 24. Do I have to add that? Do you know why I might have algae? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. i appreciate...

Checked water today (getting a little better at that). FC - 4 CC - 0 Alkalinity 300 CYA - 50 The water is crystal clear. So, from what you said it's good that the CC is 0, right? how about the Total Chlorine or FC? What should that be at? and is 50 to high for CYA? I live in the...

So I added 3 lbs. granular stabilizer per your suggestion today. Here are my test results. FC - 2.5 CC - stayed clear so I'm not sure how to register that Alkalinity - 350 CYA - didn't register anything (but I only had added 1lb originally) PH - 7.8 Please let me know if there is anything...

I tested the water as you suggested and here are the results: Total Chlorine - 12 Total Alkalinity - 300 CYA - 0 You are right about the 6 gallons - it wasn't all at once but over the course of a week. Added 1 lb. of granular stabilizer yesterday - pump running 24 hours. I want to thank...

I tested Chlorine this afternoon and my water turned very pink - went to next step to add drops so water turned clear again (I'm sorry I'm at work and don't know the names yet) anyway, I got to 30 drops and the water is still pink. Should I have kept going? I'll try again when I get home later...

Hello All! I have a 28' round above ground pool, 17,000 gal. sand filter. Just had a new liner installed and 3 truckloads of water. Water is clear but algae on bottom (not much). Added 6 gal of liquid chlorine, vacummed, backwashed still there. I am new to the BBB method and new taking care...

Thank you for your responses. Installer wants to stretch it. The pool is already filled about half way and there is a cut out for main drain and skimmer. Can it be stretched and will that affect the cut around main drain?

We have a 28' above ground pool and had a new liner installed. The installers had us start filling with hose to 10", after that we had a water tanker for remainder. The overlap liner is sliding down on one side of pool. Stopped filling. Can this liner be stretched? I'm worried that this might...
