Yeah i did run out of bleach so i went a day or two with fc dropping at which point i threw in trichlor tab into the autofeed.

So thanks to all the usefull info on here I was able to recover the water from a black/green lagoon to crystal clear pool. Everything was good and then algae started to creep in. i was able to get rid of it following SLAM and now i'm still left with cloudy water. The system has 4 cartridge...

Re: Test Kit arrived today!! Test Results are in.. Now what? ok so i've been working it a little. pump has been running all week. added the trichlor and dry acid. pool has cleared up a ton ( I can actually see the bottom and the water looks clear) did a full test today and here are the new...

Re: Test Kit arrived today!! Test Results are in.. Now what? So im guessing i should use the ph down (dry acid). Do i just dump it in the pool? According to the pool calculator i should 31oz of the dry acid. Should I go ahead and start putting in the tablets in the automatic feeder as well?

So I got my kit today and tested the pool. I started a new thread since my last post just got too scattered. Here are the results FC - 2 CC - .5 TC - 2.5 TA - 90 CH- 300 (I did this test 3 times with different readings ranging from 400 the first time, 300 the second and 250 the third) So i'm...

ok so the test kit arrived today. after doing all the tests my CH is 400 which is above the recommended. Now I just drained right around half to 2/3rds of the pool and refilled it. Do I need to do it again?

Ok so its taken a few days but i've drained about half the pool. Now that it took so long i have nice green water left in there so my new questions are.... Do i fill it from the water hose or are there other options? Can i do anything about the algae before i refill the pool?

So what i'm thinking is i'm going to have to get a submersible pump because when I switch to the floor drains it just drains out my spa... as i'm typing i'm wondering if I turn on the spa jets while having it pull from the floor drains instead of the skimmer will that keep it filled? would like...

ok so the water level was already starting to get low so did the switched the valve over to pick up from the floor drain. when I did that it started sucking it out of the spa and dropping the level rather quickly. what could be causing this?

I'm in Tampa fl. I do have a hose hookup where the valves are. Where do i drain to? Not sure what you mean about the water table...

No i dont have a cleaner in the pool, i had to buy the brush vacuum and skimmer because i had nothing. I guess thats why there is no flow through it? If i have to do a partial drain how do i do that? Should i go ahead and add the chlorine tabs into the feeder?

So I just moved into a rental that happens to have a pool. They had pool service but now it is up to me. I didn't realize that they stopped coming until recently I noticed the yellow algae lol. SO I found this forum and decided to educate myself. You guys are very helpful and hope that you can...
