I just got home and the water is now clear!! So happy to have my pool back and so glad I found this forum! Thank you to everyone to has responded!

I am finished SLAMing, now what? Ok boys and girls, My FC stayed exactly the same overnight, the CC = 0.4 and my pool is blue. It's not as crystal clear as I would like but it definitely looks great! So I think I am all set! I just need to let my FC levels drop to my target of between 5 and 8...

Re: Why noone mentions Liquid Chlorine ? I completely agree. I do not know why the administrators of the site created a new forum. I can no longer post to the original one but I did not do that. TFP did.

Re: Why noone mentions Liquid Chlorine ? There was a previous thread that answers alot of these questions. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/84300-Cannot-clear-up-a-cloudy-pool-have-tried-everything!/page2 I drained some water out of the pool yesterday which is why CYA went down. I'm so...

Re: Why noone mentions Liquid Chlorine ? Finally making progress! Yesterday pool was green, today pool is blue! I can easily see the bottom. It is still a bit cloudy so will continue SLAMing. This morning: FC=27 CC = 0.5 CYA = between 70 and 80. so I added some more liquid chlorine to get...

I am going to let 2/3 of water out of pool and then refill from hose (tap water) besides liquid chlorine, are there any chemicals I should have on hand? How will tap water affect pH and other values? I would like to buy anticipated chemicals today so I can start balancing as soon as pool is...

OK I am replacing some of the water so I'll update you all later tonight!

I am not using powered shock at all. Liquid chlorine only. Also no pucks in the skimmer. I will try replacing some pool water and update you later today!

Ok, so no progress visually overnight. Looks the same, maybe even a tad worse. My FC stayed exactly the same at 24 and the CC stayed at 1.0. However, it appears my CYA has gotten worse. It's up to 100. According to the pool calculator, I need to replace 50% of my pool water. Should I do this...

I think we are making progress! After another three gallons my FC is at my target shock value of 24 ppm and CC is 1.0 ppm. I'm hoping I wake up to some progress! Too dark now to take a picture but I'm optimistic that tomorrow things things will be clearer :-) I love this forum and I'm so glad I...

Ok, I put in 3 gallons of 12.5% liquid chlorine as soon as the sun went down. I put in one bottle every 30 min or so. I tested again and not much has changed FC = 1.0 and CC has gone up to 1.0! Do I need to wait longer to test? I do have a question about the test kit. It says you can use a 10...

I got one available at Leslie's, the Taylor K-2006. We have started the SLAMing process. Wish me luck!

thanks! - - - Updated - - - Ok I have purchased the test kit and my test results are different in some important areas! FC = only 0.8 ppm CC = 0.4 ppm ph = 7.2 TA = 70 ppm CH = 350 ppm CYA = 60 ppm. I am going back to pool school to read some more but any and all advice is welcome!

Thank you! I am ready to take control of my pool! I will get the required kits and get to work!

Hi, No I do not have a sand filter, it is a cartridge filter. I'm pretty sure the algae is dead. The water is not green at all. We do not have a test kit to do the overnight FC loss test. Which kit do you recommend. I have a bottle of 12.5% liquid chlorine. Should I start by getting FC up to 6...

Re: Why noone mentions Liquid Chlorine ? I think I'm getting "pool store'd" now. We have always used liquid chlorine but this year they recommended Power Plus powered chlorine (Leslies) Our pool has been cloudy for a month and we have tried EVERYTHING they have suggested. We killed any algae we...

Hello everyone, We have a 19,000 gallon above ground pool. We had a bout of algae and successfully killed it. The pool has been cloudy ever since. We have tried Pool First Aid, Ultra Bright, and anything else the pool store recommended. According to them our chemistry levels are perfect as of...
