    Any ideas as to what I should do from here? The FC went down to 7 so I hit it with some more liquid shock to see if that would help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It appears to shoot some air bubbles out but after a second it's completely clear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ordered the fas/dpd. As anticipated, the water is pretty clear after shutting the pump off. Like yesterday when I turned the filter on things clouded up. What should I do? Maybe try and vacuum the bottom? Seems like the filter stirs things up in the pool. I can see the bottom of the deep end...

    Correct, I have the 2005. Wonder if I can piece together what I need for a 2006? I'm going to shut the filter off tonight and vacuum the bottom tomorrow morning. I'll also retest the cya and bring it up if I need to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The water for the cya test was not very cloudy I filled the tube up all the way to the max and could still barely see the dot. Top of the tune was 30. Since I could still kind of see the dot I assumed it was more like 20. I think TA was supposed to be 100. I'll have to look at the test kit...

    Ok I'll go slow with it. Last night I shut the filter off and came out this morning and I could see the bottom of the deep end! Turned the filter back on and back to cloudiness.... I assume that normal as the return stirs things up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok thanks! Kit isn't here yet but I've been bleaching just to stay on top of it. Pool is clearing up nicely. Hoping to add some DE to the filter today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks. Well like I said I'm a newb but I'm learning. I started off with powder but I've lately been using bleach and liquid chlorine (12%). Is that stuff also ok? 25k gallon IG. Vinyl liner. Sand filter Pyrex meteor. Damascus, MD.

    Total newb as this is my first pool. I've read through pool school and I'm currently slamming the pool. Started as dark green and immediately went to cloudy blue. Has been that way ever since (about a week now). Here are my most recent test results: FC: 10 PH: 7.8 TA: 120 CYA: 30? Sand filter...
