86 as of this morning and I've run the pump all night. It's going to be super hot today.

I have friends coming over tomorrow and the pool is so hot. The only immediate solution is to dump and refill which I realize will need with the chemistry but I can't think of anything else to do. I have the pump running at night. Any other thoughts?

Hello! I'm adding 4 lbs of CYA to my pool via the sock method. How long to wait to swim after the final "sock"?

Hi Everyone, Two questions: At what point do I need to think about resurfacing? I have an in-ground 15 gall pool, and in some spots the concrete seems to be showing through. There's no leakage I'm aware of but at what point do I need to think about resurfacing. I had a quote don and they said...

Ok. Can you get AA tabs in pool stores?

Thank you all for your help. HowevSo the water is clear but there's staining everywhere and I haven't had this previous years. I can't exactly hold my breath and use and orange peel or a puck to clean this. Is there any other way? Is this iron? HELP!

So if it is a stain, what's the solution?

You mean a chlorine puck?

Like a hockey puck? Iron? I'm not sure I understand.

I have used SLAM before and will shoot for that. One question about the SLAM. With my low CYA levels, 3-5 seems low? Especially with my pool as green ad it is. Is there any danger in shooting for a little higher FC level?

Thanks. I have a mesh cover but I've never seen the pool this green. Almost like the algae stained it. I've been brushing and vacuuming but it's still pretty green. I'm doing the sock method but maybe I'll do what you suggested because it's taking forever to dissolve with the cold water.

Thank you! And even though the water is freezing adding powder CA is better? It won't dissolve as fast?

Is it typical that you have no CYA in the pool at opening? My levels were 30 ppm when I closed. I just opened and my pool is greener than usual and I want to slam but no CYA.

Hello. I have an inground pool that's pretty old. When should I think about resurfacing if at all? Thanks, Robert

Thank you!

Any reccomended brands for granulated CYA?

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi Everyone and Happy Pool Season! My FC is 9.0, no CC, and my CYA is negligible. Two questions Is 9 swimmable and I'm planning to add CYA with liquid conditioner. Is that the best way to go? Should I wait to stabilize CYA before swimming? Thanks! Robert

Lol. That's amazing. Here's mine.

Water is very clear.

Will do. Another question; I've been SLAMing since Monday and I'm still not seeing any CC and the FC still drops throughout the day by about half. How long does a SLAM usually take? I know the lack of CYA isn't helping but shouldn't I see somewhat stabilization by now of the FC?

I have one on the return and one in the skimmer. Still taking forever.

Quick question: Either the water is too cold or the socks I am using are too thick. I did the squeeze the sock method all afternoon through 8pm. There was still stabilizer in the socks so I left them overnight and in the morning there is still stabilizer. It's basically taking forever. I'm at...

Thanks very much to both of you! Richard320 I checked the FC and there's no movement so I think I'm good to add CYA. Sock is in the skimmer now. I appreciate all the help!

Hello Forum! I opened my pool Monday and it was greener than previous years. So I began my SLAM. I SLAM'D it based on my reading from the end of the year for CYA levels, which were around 30. So I SLAM'd at about 16 for FC. However, I tested my CYA levels and it's reading zero. The pool is...

Thanks so much!
