Thank you everyone, my pool is crystal clear. You can see the main drain from all the way across the other side of my yard. It took about 10 days to get super clear!! You guys and all your support are awesome!

All, Just had a Hayward S244T sand filter installed, it's been running about a week now. The first week, the normal operating pressure was around 14 PSI. I have had to backwash 3 times since cleaning the pool because of a battle with algea. Just yesterday after back washing, I have noticed that...

Just checking in. I can now see the main drain and pool is getting clearer everyday. The pool does still have a green tint to it, but water clarity is really improving. FC loss overnight is minimal to none. I'm trying to be very patient. Thanks for all your help. Still maintaining my shock level...

I know there are items in the stores that you can buy to help breakdown all the oils in lotions that swimmers bring into your pool. Do you guys have any recommendations? My buddy that has owned a pool all of his life swears by Pool Perfect by Natural Chemistry.

Just updating everyone! Everyday the pool looks better and better. Last night was the first night I didn't lose any FC, water clarity is improving. I can see the bottom all around pool except for the deep end. PH testing with FC at 15 is 7.6. So, I'm going to let the FC drop below 10 and test...

My FC level was at 10 last night when I got home from work. So, I tested PH and it was 7.6.

Thank you guys, much appreciated!

The lowest my FC has gotten over the past two days is 12.5. So, would that be low enough to test? Should I worry about TA? Thanks for the quick replies and advice. I really appreciate it! I love the new Taylor test kit.

All, I opened my pool and it was dark green and filled with Algea. So, I just installed a new Hayward Sand Filter and new sand and started slamming and forgot to adjust the PH before doing so. I Started on 05/14/2014. At dusk I poured in 4 gallons of 12% bleach. I tested FC the next night and...

Gotcha!! thanks! That is perfect!

Re: CYA (as in see ya later pool store) I merged this to keep your questions out of another members thread. Keep your related questions together. Thanks, jblizzle Well, I just got a quote for chemicals from the pool store for my 20,000 gallon pool and it was over $600 for the year!! So, I...

Thank you so much, I tried to update my signature to reflect what I have in my pool. Last year because I was a newbie and didn't know about this site I went to the pool store and while my pool was for the most part sparkling clear all year long until the end of the season, I ended up spending a...

Thank you all for the replies very helpful! Approximately how many standard bottles of bleach do you dump in your pool per week if you had to come up with an average? I was just thinking of buying the pucks for the automatic chlorinator because it seems to be a lot more convenient for a newbie...

Last year was my first year owning a pool and I ended up going to the local pool store and got took to the bank!! This year I was thinking of ordering online and a friend of mine uses "intheswim.com". I have been looking around and the two websites that I checked out where the "intheswim.com"...
