I have had leaves/debris in my pipe line before and I have a hose bladder (not sure of correct name) that I use to blow the line clear. Go to Home Depot or Lowes, plumbing section, and this thing looks like a rubber balloon with a slit in it and attaches to your water hose. I turn the filter...

You are in Illinois and I am on the Alabama Gulf Coast; come live here with a pool and see what happens with large quantities of rain!

If you have already bought a DPD kit, you do not have to spend another $85 to get the right test kit. You can simply go to tftestkits.net and order the additional test(s) that you need. You can buy a fas kit for $26, buy a CYA kit (which I already had so I bought a bottle of reagent for $8) and...

Sink and Sweep directions stated to have ph between 7.5 - 8.0; After vacuuming, my chlorine is still very high (above 5 for both FC and TC), but ph lowered to 7.2 and stabilizer down from 35 to 25. With many inches of rain coming (2-4 at least), I added 4 gallons of bleach which will...

Although flock treatments are not recommended by the author of "Turning your Green Swamp Back into a Sparkling Oasis" he states "it is possible to do a flock treatment to clean up dead algae". I know I am not finished with my algae clean up, but by removing as much dead algae quickly I can now...

9 hours after sink and swim I can clearly see all bottom and deep end algae is settling on bottom. Directions say 12-24 hours so I will wait to vacuum until tomorrow. BBB is great for maintenance and a great start to killing algae but why wait a week when I can have it clear tomorrow. Will...

Yes I know, not knowing how fast it's dropping and by how much is dragging the process out. When I started with this method, my pool was clear last year. This is the first time I have killed algae this way. Used to super shock and floc and vacuum. Wondering if I should do that now?

I've been slamming since Sunday and have gone from solid green and not seeing any bottom of either end to what you see in the pictures above. I am getting to raise back to shock. Hoping deep in green starts going away........

Just got back from Leslie's. I have a good store, they sell the kit I need for professionals and it is available by special order or online. So, since I can't get it tonight, then I will order the tft kit. Readings: FC: 7.5, TAC 7.5, CH 140, CYA 35, TA 90, PH 8, Phosphates 100 Will check Pool...

trying this url; let me know if you can see the pic

I started coming to this site last year after wasting a lot of money at the pool stores. I went to Leslies and bought their DPD test kit for like $80 thinking I was getting the right one. I had my pool clear at this time after an algae kill where I used bleach and then sink/swim. I stayed with...

Shallow end is blue; deep end is lighter this morning. FC still high above 5ppm overnight. Brushing revealed no sediment that would have needed to be vacuumed. I may be using more bleach than necessary without the higher FC test, but what I am doing is working.

Please start a new thread for your particular issue. Thanks. --Smykowski I live on the coast in Mobile; similar weather as the poster you are helping. Trying to start up after winter close; I bought the wrong test kit last year and am trying to use up the chemicals before purchasing another...

Love it! Your pool is georgous! My CYA was up from using pool store supplies and I am bit by bit bringing it into recommended levels. We are having a lot of rain every day so I am vacuuming silt that washes in every other day so water replacement is occuring on a regular basis. did the 1/3...
