The water reaches the skimmer at the "min water line" location. I dare not send a picture of my milky pool water LOL. It's bad enough we're 6 " in difference at the opposite side of the pool. :hammer:

Here's a problem I want to know if anyone has dealt with it. The pool is not level. We just bought an 18 X 42 Sand N Sun. Same as Intex. We're in the country and used well water and that created other problems. The water has not been crystal clear once. But it's been balanced and we're...

Hello, I use well water and found out I have metals. My water turned brown after I shocked it. But here on this site EVERYONE is going to ask for test results...free chlorine, CYA, T/A, pH.... You'll need to purchase a kit to give good numbers. The sequestrant: Metal Out, Mineral Magnet...

Thanks TxSkye. You've been the BIGGEST :mrgreen: help to me on this website. I already took your other suggestions and put them to use and they've given me great results. I learned a lot on this site-but sometimes the situation or conditions aren't perfectly imperfect-if that makes sense...

Still waiting for some help. :roll: So far I've used two bottles of the Mineral Magic. The pool water hasn't changed much but I know I'm catching a lot of the "stuff" floating in there because I see it on the cartridge filter. I read the article on metals last week and decided it's probably...

Hello. My pool: 18X48 6100 gallons vinyl easy set cartridge filter Used well water to fill. Turned brownish green after shocking. Pool store found no metals. Purchased some Vitamin C and stains came off plastic of skimmer parts. Never having my water tested there again. FC...14.5 because I...

Hello. We purchased one of those Sand N Sun easy set vinyl pools from Walmart. I've tested the water with the kit recommended on this site and the #'s were pretty good. But we have some sort of sediment issue keeping the water cloudy and greenish brown (used well water) and my husband...

How does one test for metals like iron and copper if the pool guy's test keeps showing 0ppm? (I have a previous post titled "First Timer needs guidance" and am dealing with those issues.) But I'm starting a new one because I believe I have a metal issue since my pool equipment is now more...

This is an amazing amount of information that deals with my issues and I thank you all for your help. As for our well water-we're using a water softener and a whole house filter that covers taste, rust, odor and sediment. We just bought the house 7 months ago and the inspector sent it in for...

Since I'm in super shock mode with the pool I'm not going to worry about algae and am going to deal with the sediment. I am shutting off the pump and letting it all settle. Then we'll try to rig our wet/dry vac directly to the pool vacuum and get that sediment out completely. I'll add water...

Hi. I just edited my previous post/reply to "clarify" my pool issues. I'm glad you pointed out shocking at 16ppm. Because of the color of the water I went with the mustard algae suggestion at 29ppm. I don't understand the sediment issue when the pool hasn't run for days. The water is green...

I can retest at the pool place for iron. This morning my FC was 31. Water hasn't changed much. Pool calculator says to shock at 29. I'm guessing not to add more bleach since it's still above that level even though it has dropped a couple of points. Let me start from the beginning: When I was...

:?: Hello everybody! Bought one of those Intex (Walmart) pools: 18 x 48 round AG. Nothing was going well. Used well water to fill pool. Turned brownish green after shocking after using test strip, failing, going to the pool guy, no copper or iron found, bought conditioners and calcium hardner...
