    Cannot see articles from desktop/laptop?

    When I'm using your website on my laptop (via google chrome) I cannot open the pool school articles not the pool math page. When I click on the menu selection or from the home page it just opens the home page again. I've searched it thru google and thru your own search on the home page...it...

    Closing my green pool

    OK. I can read that closing a clean pool is best but that's not what I have. First time mom here let the pool get out of control at the beginning of September when our robot died (I'm way too busy to vacuum it manually for weeks). So I live in Atlanta with a vinyl liner, in ground, and have a...

    The first of many problems- leak d/t dry pumping?

    After just posting a different thread I got advice to start a less complicated thread so here goes. First off the pool is the bane to my life. I promised myself this year I'd be on top of my chemicals and testing and it would be easy... no it still sucks. I paid someone to close and open my...

    Pump running dry along with lots of other problems

    ok Dave. That seems to make sense to me. So I'll start a new post right now. Thank you. Robbie here are the results of my OCT but it sounds like they aren't worth much until I figure out the mechanical problems. Tuesday night just before bed FC: 20 CC: 0 Before the sun hit it in the AM...

    Pump running dry along with lots of other problems

    right I know you want full test results and I can give those in a minute but what I need to know is if I should bother to keep SLAMing the pool or fix the leak problems first? I enjoyed math and chemistry in college so I feel confident in the SLAMing process but if a leak could be causing my...

    Pump running dry along with lots of other problems

    So I've read lots of old threads on my problems but in most of them there is gibberish I do not understand and I have so many problems no 1 thread covers it all. And before you read this please know I suck at managing this pool, I wish we didn't have one or had enough money to pay someone else...

    I'm pretty sure. I had the same stuff last year near the end of the season and thought it was just pollen but it was sucking up the FC (even during slamming) and mostly only in the shady parts of the pool. I never got it clean but closed the pool and thought I'd get it at the beginning of the...

    I started a new thread for your post. It is confusing to everyone when two posters are asking question within the same thread (Hi-jacking). Plus, posting your question in a new Thread is more likely to get responses. --duraleigh, TFP Moderator I have a few questions about the SLAM for mustard...

    fall pollen?????

    So Last Saturday I spent the day brushing the sides and vacuuming the entire pool, balancing chemicals and adding a bunch of bleach Because the entire pool bottom and walls were covered in yellow stuff. I was worried it was yellow mustard algae because pollen isn't that bad I think in the fall...

    Cloudy water after 4 days

    Re: Cloudy water after 4 days w/ CYA level I retested now that it has been 24 hours from adding dichlor yesterday and here is some new numbers. CYA= 60 pH= 7.4 FC= 8 CC= 0 TA= 100 I did not re-do CH, hope that's not a problem. The pool is less cloudy, I can now see the bottom of both the...

    Cloudy water after 4 days

    On Sunday I tested my water, perfectly clear, and found the TA to be 90 and FC to be 1, pH 7.3 so using the pool calculator I added the dichlor (I know I just have to finish up what I have before I switch to bleach) to get to 5 and baking soda as the calculator called for. I added them at the...
