you are right about the chlore level and it was adjusted to 7 since about one month now as for why i did it was because of this:

Hello to all my friends who have taken the time to help me with my algea problem this summer. My last attempt was done 2 weeks ago, basically what i did was shock the pool at a chlore level of 35 for 7 days straight of scrubbing and maintaining it at that high level. At the end of this 7 days...

Thanks for the tip Dan! Will the water be safe to swim in at a chlore level of 5? The pump runs 10 hours a day so far during the day, from 10 am to 8pm, should this be adjusted?

Been three days since I vacuumed to waste. Chlore levels have maintaned at 3 yet the bottom of the pool have re-filled with stuff in the cracks... Beginning to think Macrosill is right..

Well there's no reason for me to believe that it isn't.. when I walk over it, I can feel the suction

The skimmer sock has been on for a while now but doesn't seem to be trapping much. What about the center drain? I haven't figured out how to rig a sock on the water line to the pool. I vacuumed last night, curious to see if any build up occured during the day. Is it possible that dead algea...

I performed a overnight FC test. The level at sundown was 3 and this morning was at 2.7 Is that a sufficiant enough drop to declare a algea problem? For the record in previous summers, I never held such a high chlore level, always at 1 with a trouble free pool 8-) . Furthermore, how quickly...

25 Just verifyed this morning and the pump did not run overnight and there absolutely NO accumulation. Is that because the cholrine levels stay hight at night or simply because my theory is that my filter needs replacing and is not trapping dirt when it runs. How quickly can algea form...

chlore: 3ppm ph: 7.2 alcalinity: 100ppm hardness: 250ppm Shock treatment was done over a span of 5 days with a chlore maintenance of 10ppm.

Here are some photos from this morning. I brushed it around yesterday and reappeared this morning. I feel that it accumulates when the pump is running. Will vacuum today. edit: i forgot to mention yesterday that stuff was alot whiter than today, looks darker

Good day friends, It's been a week since I shocked the pool to a chlorine level of 10pm. Since then, the water cleared up a few days ago and the dark dusty sandy stuff on the floor of the pool went away but yesterday and today I observed a return of dusty sandy stuff but this time unstead of...

no haven't shocked yet... that's next on the to do list with the sock on the return line

I took some pictures this morning, just to be clear the pool was vacuumed to waste late last evening and the pump ran over night and this is what I found this morning.

thanks for the tip cubby but the stairs are simply in plastic... gona try to rig a sock on the return line and see what happens... actually i'm kinda curious

been 2 days with the sock on the skimmer basket and it rained today... clean as a whistle.. so it's defenitly not a water surface issue bottom filled up with dusty stuff again and pool pump has been running 12hrs a day tomorrow will probably shock

Just backwashed and pressure guage was reading 20... after several minutes and alot of green stuff beeing backwashed through the looking glass valve, then rinsed the guage is now reading 18... backwashed some more and re-rinsed but the guage maintains a reading of around 18psi. When pump is off...

sock has been installed... can't tell yet if there is a improvement with the sock on how long before new sand in a fiter starts "to filter the small stuff"

what about the bottom drain? is covering the skimmer basket really enough? does that mean the dust/pollen goes through the skimmer and is thrown into the water in the return line? why wouldn't this get picked up in the filter? these were the results from my latest water test at the pool store...

by adding 600g of hth shock powder all around the pool noon here now.. chlore maintaining at 2.5ppm just as the pump started , the entire bottom filled with a light dirty film.. after brushing it, it seems to have dispersed.... i am leaning towards a faulty filtration system after the sand was...

after shocking last night, the chlore level was raised to 2.5ppm... will minitor any drop during the coarse of the day

if i remember correctly it was 1.5 kg of stab for 40000L. today i vacuumed the pool again and was all clean till the pool pump/filter went on for it's daily run... well seems that the bottom of the pool only gets dirty when the pool pump/filter run.. i guess that is a clear indication that the...

no that's all the info they provided with sorry alcanilty is 100 not 10.. was a typo a stabilizer was used early in the pool season

from what i can gather just by brushing it... looks alot like dead algea but it's hard to tell chlore: 1.5ppm ph: 7.2 alcalinity: 10ppm hardness: 250ppm these tests were performed at a local pool store this afternoon

Hello to all in the known how. First time poster, long time reader. Bought a house a few years back and maintaned a trouble free above ground, vinyl liner, 21" pool for those few years. This year upon opening the pool after our winter, everything was reconnected as usual and water was balanced...
