Thanks for all the help! One more try and then I am giving up! Single mom here and spending all this money to run a filter in vain...not much more!

I know little when it comes to this stuff. The ph was 7.4 on Tuesday when the water was tested. On the print out it said to add 1 gallon of acid and then wait 8 hours before adding the other one. I just did what they told me. I am getting the water tested again in the morning as it has been 72...

Will the Acid demand test on my 4 way test kit test for CYA? (I love saying that btw, in my line of work it means something different :)

On Tuesday, I put in two 1lb bags of Suncoast Super Shock 4-Way Sanitizer and treatment along with 1 gallon of muriatic acid. On Wed, I added a gallon of liquid chlorine, another gallon muriatic acid, and 4lbs of Suncoast stabilizer/conditioner. The test kit I have test for Chlorine, ph...

Honestly, I can tell you guys before it turned green and stayed that way , I never added anything but powder shock and baking soda...had a crystal clear pool until I shut the filter off in 2011. It has never been the same since. Wednesday was the first time ever that I have used stabilizer and...

Yes they are! I have a test kit but it is at least three years old. Even though the water is blue, it still looks slimmey to me in addition to be cloudy. When I maintained the pool consistently, that was my first clue that it needed chlorine, but the chlorine levels are high! I promise that if I...

These #'s were yesterday

The pool place didn't want me to do anything until Saturday, as I just added stabilizer on Wednesday. TC - 5.0 ppm FC - 5.0 ppm PH - 7.0 TA - 170 ppm CH - 70 ppm Stabilizer - 25 ppm Total Dissolved Solids - 3,100 My pool has been mostly green for about a year and a half. Just had some repairs...

Well guys it looks like I have all of the chemicals where they should be, but the pool is still extremely cloudy. My filter is 10 years old and was wondering if it needs new sand?

Thanks! I could tell by the difference that the liquid was a better choice...but man, it is no joke to transport!

The liquid seems to work so much better than the powder shock! But, when you have two seater car and are in work clothes to pick it up, the powder is just so much easier! Any thoughts?

Thanks jblizzle! My test indicated that was at 115 ppm for CH! Well within the range for vinly. If I am posting in the wrong place please direct me how to create my own! You guys are great! I am going to purchase the kit that helps your site :)

25.7 lbs not gallons sorry!

Split by moderator. Please start your own thread. Thanks, jblizzle Hi all! Just joined this site today! Have had the pool since 2003 and have had no problems keeping it up until I shut the filter off at the end of last summer. What a bear to bring it back! Have had a pool headache since April...
