Yeah no kidding . I went out this afternoon and the pool has more and there was like 10 of those worms that destroy tomatoe plants. I'm like really. And those pods do not float they sink pretty quick so the skimmer does not get a chance to catch them. :( Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I went out by the pool and could not find any on the ground. So, its possible they could be a early form of acorn pod.

I meant to ask should I raise my FC to between 4-6 ppm compare to where its at now?

Ok I think I solved the mystery gang ( Scooby Doo pun intended) 1.) when I squeezed one of those they disentagrate. 2.0 No worries on the Questions thats how you solve problems and possibly find out something that you missed. 3.) I did vacuum the pool to day with out sweeping and they came right...

Here are some photos of the pods 1. They turn to mush when you press on them. 2. They smell bad. When close to your nose. Lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I will hopefully be able to get in and get more samples and pics. also what is a good salt level for the pool. My buddy has one of these although he does not use a test kit and not the most reliable on the subject but states that he puts enough salt in the pool to smell and taste salty...

Re: Algae Assistance & slamming Here is just one of the pods. - - - Updated - - - If you have ever seen Aliens with the face hugger pods that what spots in my pool look like. lol

Also have a question about the algae do they come up in little pods. Because mine is not looking like the algae (regular or mustard) that I have seen photos on. They are little pods that float and they bunch up on the bottom of the pool as well. Also I do want to thank everyone for helping me...

Just to be clear and make sure that I am on the same page as you guys on this. I should be able to remove this ( Copper Electrode For Saltwater System And Sand Filter Combo - Intex ) and run it with just the titanium Electrode.

Fortunately the Water is not green as what is on the slamming instruction page but you can see the little rows at the bottom of the pool. So I think one slamming will kill it. (crossing fingers)

Well no blonde hair to worry about on that note...lol Also with a SWG you need the Copper Ion. This is what I found on that. That and I did find a way to turn the chlorinator of so that won't be a problem. How do copper ions sanitize my pool? How do they work with chlorine? When copper and...

Keep Calm :brickwall: I should have slammed it at 30 cya. I did go back and reread the article. Also on my Intex pump It does not have a way to just "turn off the chlorinator" should I just uplug the the Copper Electrode For Saltwater System and the Titanium Electrode and allow it to just...

1) Taylor Technologies Inc K-2006 complete Chlorine FAS-DPD test kit 2) Taylor Technologies Inc K-1766 Drop test Chloride Salt water test kit 3) I have already bought the bleach so thats not a problem. 4) I have read over the slamming article but do to my lack of experience of owning a pool it...

well crud i have been trying to raise the cya. So i should go ahead with the slamming (at which I'm using 6% Liquid Bleach) and then worry about the cya being any higher. So what should I raise the The FC to and for how long. I know I should run the pump 24 hours, should I follow (shock FC 20)...

I have a Algae problem (not sure if it is mustard or not) but i have been running the calculations to get the cya up (which is up to 50 ppm). Wondering if that would be enough to start slamming the pool or should I wait and raise it based on the slamming chart for SWG. I have brushed and swept...

I honestly hate this area, because there is no jobs, I've been jobless for over a year and still have not gotten any callbacks from any employers. Also being 30 miles from the water kinda sucks if you like to fish. And this rain is the major culprit of all my pool issues. everytime it starts...

I'm in Milton, Florida 32572 - - - Updated - - - I'm using this stabilizer so there is no extra chems that will change the balance. My cya was so low i did not want to slam my pool with bleach until after i get the levels up because if the chlorine escapes its pointless. Clorox Pool and...

1) no kids to worry about. 2) I'm a diy'er I don't mind working and reading about things as long as I'm moving forward and not just staying still. 3) I go out about every 3 to 4 hours and squeeze the sock so that it does dissolve quicker...is that a no no ? Which at this point is about fully...

ok just making sure did not want to come out bones. lol I still new to the pool and did not realize that i had to become a chemist to take care of one. but slowly im learning and thanks to the pool calculator.

I'm adding CYA stabilizer to my pool via the sock method,which is working great. But, I was wanting to know is it safe to get in the pool with the granular stabilizer still dissolving to clean some leaves out of the pool. thanks for the help Richard

I'm not sure if anyone is still monitoring this post but, I have algae problems along with -30 cya. My Question is should i slam the pool 1st or just get the cya up first so that the pool holds the chlorine to kill the algae during the slamming process.

Question about the calculator there where it ask for the temperature is that the water temp or the air temp outside?
