I did! Other than the hair, that is how it was when their mother sent them to preschool. Luckily the suits I grabbed them just happen to match. I didn't even notice until I posted the picture, lol.

. It's not crystal clear, but I can see the 8ft deep end. I am still maintaining slam levels but it drops enough while I am at work to let the kids go for their first swim.

You will go through a lot of bleach but that is a small price to pay compared to what the pool store probably charged your husband the past two years. Your making progress, keep up the great work!

Great Idea on adding the 2nd valve!

Just to add to the panty hose idea, I use disposable hair nets. They seem to hold up to the chlorine better. 100 for $8.25 using Amazon.

I was once in your shoes also. Keep you head up and listen to these guys, they'll get you through this.

Quick update on my swamp. I had small setback a couple weeks ago that caused me to lose a lot of progress, but it is now back underway. I have went thru SO much bleach. I'm going thru 4-5 jugs of 121oz 8.25% a day and I can see progress. This is defiantly going slower than I thought, but I'm...

FC only loosing a few PPM in between my 12 hr checks. Trying to keep it around 25ppm. My CYA is a little higher than i was shooting for at a little over 50, but I think it will be okay. To me it looks like it is improving, just going to be a slow go. I will try to up load a few pics this...

16fc 1.5cc after 35 mins. Looks like it is not ammonia after all?? There is still quite a it of debris in the pool. Should I add the granulated cya?

How will I know if that is the case? After 12 hrs I'm at .5 fc and 1.5 cc. Just added to bring up to 10ppm fc. I will update in 30 mins.

Wow! I hope mine clears up that fast! The previous owners left the pool in quite a mess. They did nothing to winterize! Right now the pool seems to be frog utopia, but they are getting relocated. Next week I can have someone run over a couple times a day for me, but I'm out of luck until they...

I understand there are always uv rays present. :) I was given the below advise so I was thinking I should hold off still.

Should i start to add the CYA? I think it is going to rain here until May, so the sun won't be a problem.

I already had the water and thought I could use the practice ;)

Ph same but no chlorine this morning. Added 5 more jugs to bring fc around 11. Will not be able to check again until this evening. I'm sure there is still some gunk in the deep end that I can't reach. I'm guessing that is what is eating up the chlorine along with the overall condition of the...

Will do. I went ba head and picked up 12lbs of HTH stabilizer. I'm guessing I use the sock method with this. I will updating this thread so I will wait on you to pull the trigger for me adding it. :)

Sorry. Per your instructions I increased ph to low 7s via 3 boxes of borax mule 20. Added 5 121oz jugs of 8.25% bleach. All added about 7pm and checked around 830. After checking I added another of the same jugs of bleach for a 10ppm target.

Tc 3.5 Fc 1.5 Cc 2 Ph 7.2

Tc 0 Fc 0 Cc 0 Ch 125 Ta 70 Cya 0 Ph <6.8 I would guess 6.4

Good to know! I don't think it looks terrible, it only had the slopes. I will open it up and see what it feels like.

I went and got the sand today and bought the wrench to take it apart last week. The little pump skimmer basket broke so I need to get one of those. One small leak around the pump return and the view bubble when I put it on backwash. I viewed the sand and I think it needs changed. It slopes in...

You hit the nail on the head! Thanks!

No vortex. I ran a hose over most of the joints. I then warped them in electrical tape. I think it is the pump. Also. It appears the boater will run, but I don't notice water movement??

Water up to 2nd screw. Basket clrean. I have some pantyhose over them. O ring lubed and lid right.

Thanks! I went ahead and cut off my bottom drain and fired it up. The pump is not priming. There is water getting pulled in, but not like it should. About half as much. There are bubbles coming out of the returns. I have it on recirculated.

How big of a problem is this?

I'm a big diy kind of guy. The neighbors say the liner is 5 years old tops. I'm Just going to jump right in. ...but not really lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
