So above my water line on my 5 year old liner i have about a 4-5" long tear starting right in the corner :cry:. I'm hoping the isn't the end for my liner right now because we literally cannot afford a new liner as newer home owners. I've tried patching twice (20mm patches) but both times it...

yes too all the above. hopefully it will be clear soon

ahh ok. well this being my first year, idk the ins and outs quite yet. did you use anything other than bleach and filtering to clear the pool?

is this just normal in the deep end of pools? (approx 9')? its so much to learn! lol

so our pool has gotten much clearer since we started shocking last Thursday. other than the shallow end being a little cloudy, it looks almost clear. the deep end still has a very green tint to it tho, and we can see algae still swirling in the skimmer. FC PPM's have been kept at 12-15...

yea... will update there. as well. mods delete if u want

we've been losing a lot less FC lately (which to me is a good sign). we started testing it every couple hours this weekend. would have to add a couple gall of bleach every time. lately though, after a whole day its only dropping by 2-3 ppm or so. so it's becoming easier to maintain the FC...

updated in SLAM thread. mods delete

haha i guess it could be worse thanks again for the quick responses. u guys have really helped me out a ton!

next question, when testing with my taylor k-2006 kit, when i start adding droplets to check my FC, i'm supposed to add until the water goes from pink to clear. well i can get the water to go to clear, but when i let the water sit for a minute or 2 without swirling after that, it starts changing...

and here i was worrying about my 18ppm lol ^^^ freakin newb

holy cow. just tested again. and within the 3 hours that its been shocked its dropped to around a 5-6 ppm! i didnt even know that was possible! is a 12ppm drop in a 3 hour span normal under heavy algae conditions?

Wow, you guys are great! such quick responses! i had seen on e a few other pool forums that people recommended vinyl liner pools be around 15ppm when shocking to avoid possible damage (probably conservative). full numbers: FC = 2.4 CC = 2.8 (transposed these in my first post) pH = 7.6 TA =...

My fiance and i just bought our first house last year. Lucky us, it had a 37,000 gal pool! So this is our first year opening. we were having some issues with algae upon opening. I did some research and decided to go with the TFPC method for maintaining the pool. picked myself up a Taylor K-2006...
