Ok, thanks. I was just questioning because instructions read green to red. Im stopping when bright pink.

2pm - 12 Hit target. Going to test again in a few hours. Although unnecessary, I tested CYA and i'ts 30! Woo Hoo! On a side note, I also tested TA (again just curious) and it's 90. I'm wondering if I am testing incorrectly. Instructions state record when color changes from green to red...

I guesstimated 21k

I know I should have been more disciplined with the testing but had to rush out this morning and didn't have time to test until returning home at 11am. I am going to test every couple of hours today and be on brush duty. Used the Speedstir this morning. LOVE it. I am thinking maybe earlier...

Target was FC 12. I added the specified 312oz (almost 3 121 oz jugs) of 8.5% bleach at 6pm last night. Tested at 7:30pm, FC - 18 12am - 17.5 11am - 13 Since my target was/is FC 12. Should I wait for it to drop and then maintain at that level? ETA: water clear, brushed walls and bottom...

Ok, was deciding whether to start process now or hault until morning. I'll do now. Thanks!!!!

Not so fast kimkats. Deciding whether to start the SLAM tonight or wait until morning. I am going out at 7:30pm and won't be home to test again until about 11pm and then bed at 12am. Should I just run filter since I added the conditioner today and wait for tomorrow so that I can be around to...

Using poolmath @ 21, 000gallons with a current CYA of 19 and goal of 30, I added 32oz (4 cups) of conditioner via nylon socks hung over jets. Conditioner is now totally dissolved and I tested again. Cl - 2 ph 7.2 FC 2.5 CC 0 TC 2.5 TA 70 CYA (i know it wont be an accurate reading but it's...

Yes, deep end. Same size as yours. I sent you pics but obviously you can't tell depth. Probably same as yours though. - - - Updated - - - Are you all able to see the pics I just posted?

Using photobucket and going to attempt to post pics from this afternoon. If successful, you will see water clear but lots of staining. http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/shacolleekew/media/027_zpsc4738881.jpg.html http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/shacolleekew/media/024_zps39b8d8be.jpg.html

Best guess is about 27,500 because Im not sure of depth. Pool guy done with power vac. Water filling. Should be good to test in a couple of hours when water level is back up. Again, the water is totally clean just not totally blue due to stained bottom. I am determined to fight through this...

Thanks kiss4afrog. I believe I have a bucket of conditioner. How much should I add before the SLAM. Ooh, pool guy just got here to powervac.:D

Wanted to provide an update..... I am somewhat at a standstill now. I was going to start the SLAM this weekend but pool guy was going to do another power vac and since I would lose water I just added a few bottles of bleach to increase TC but did not want to overkill. Pool guy cancelled but is...

I'm Northport Ok, here are results (i performed all) using the TF100 CL 1 Ph 7.2 FC 2.5 CC .25 TC 2.75 CYA - perfomed 2x, filled to 20 and could still see (although a but cloudy) black dot. Did a search on the forums and learned that test is to be performed in direct sunlight with back to...

Sorry for my absence and thanks so much for all the encouraging comments. I bought a jug of Vitamin C tabs and scrubbed the sides yesterday. WOW!!!! Unfortunately the Vitamin C test did nothing for the stains on the bottom. Going to lay a puck over a heavly stained area and test to see if it...

Thank you for the reply. I read the info in the link you sent me and googled where to buy ascorbic acid. Is it sold under a different name that I can buy locally at at B&M store. I want to be aggressive with this and don't want to wait for an online order.

IG vinyl pool hasn't been opened in 4 yrs. Water finally clear(ish) and debris removed. There are stains on bottom of liner (deep and shallow) as well as the sides of pool. No amount of brushing made any change. I assumed (i know, i know) that they were organic but on whim I bough Vitamin C...

Thanks Zimm. I have been brushing on and off all day but the stains are still present. I assume (although one never should) that they are organic since the pool hasn't been opened in 4yrs. Any advice on how to remove? I know vitamin c is for metal stains but I might give it a shot.

This morn after 2hr power vac last nighthttp://s1383.photobucket.com/user/shacolleekew/media/650_zps0763e144.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2

Thanks so much for the replies. The TA level was low the other day so I made good use of 3 of the BS boxes (i bought 7 in total). Before asking more questions (again thanks for your help and patience) I am going to attempt to post pics. Can only post 2 due to quota??? #1 - first opened after...

First and foremost, I have enjoyed reading all the invaluable information (although dizzying) on this site. I am amazed at how friendly, supportive and encouraging all the members are and I am excited to join the TFP club. I have a 16x36 IG vinyl pool with a loop loc cover which hasn't been...
