Thank you I'll check in to them.

Lol same. 😆

Thank you. I'll be checking this out.

Thank you. I'll check those out.

I get it, but it's so annoying. I also dont want to damage my new pool, so hopefully someone has a good way to prevent it without any damage.

This is probably an odd question, but thought I'd ask anyway. I just replaced my pool because the wind destroyed my old one. When tearing down the old pool. A bird had built their nest under about every top rail cap on there. Also, inside 9 of the actual leg frames that come down from the...

@azide999 Yelp, an exorcist very well could be needed. Wow, those must have been some big eye pokes to blow your hose. It sounds like that was kind of like being poked in the eye with a sharp stick. My plan was to incorporate a fountain with my scrap PVC, but I didn't make it that far. I do...

@azide999 I rolled mine several times if that counts. During all the mess, I thought I heard it say, "Here's looking at you, STUPID."

Hello dear friend, The valves that are on there are the ones You got me to get wayyy back in 2015 when I was doing my original Slam, so lol it's certainly about time they were on the pool finally, :whoot:instead of in garage in storage. I really have no idea exactly how it happened, but I'm...

Hello All,:wave: Sorry that I've not been around to help you guys out, or made any posts for quite sometime d/t my medical condition, not that I've not thought of you fine gals and guys often though. LOL After reading this you may not want my kind of help ever again anyway. I've been wanting...

Hi Nini, Beautiful pics of the grandbabies. It won't be long you and those little cuties will be in your new pool splashing around. Hopefully PB #1 will give you a better bid on the pool you want. If your hubby is still considering PB #2, I would mention all your concerns to PB #2 and have...

Congrats Calgirl on the OCLT pass. :whoot: As far as the high FC causing an inaccurate pH reading, that is correct. :) The pH will not read correctly when the FC is >10ppm, so once your Fc is below that you can accurately check the pH, and adjust as needed. You do tend to use a significant...

Hang in there Calgirl, you are so close, and certainly heading in the right direction for sure. LOL I'm not psychic, but I do see an OCLT pass in your near future :whoot: Have a wonderful night.

Whoo Hoo. Moving right along. :party: To answer your question in comment #108, Yes, she is a beauty. You think she's beautiful now, just wait until you see all that crystal clear water in there. Awww, life doesn't get any better than this. Enjoy the beautiful view. :)

Hi Calgirl. I'm so sorry you ran out of reagents at such an important spot in your SLAM. No need to waste your time on the pool store testing because lol they've not gotten any more reliable, so I'd recommend just to continue to maintain it at shock level, until your reagents arrive, and then...

It may take a few days to get there BUT with a CYA of 80ppm you do Not want your FC to drop all the way to 3ppm, or you'll be battling algae again. Here is the chlorine/cya link for you to look at http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/128-chlorine-cya-chart-slam-shock as you can see with a CYA...

Wow, looking excellent. If you knew what your chlorine level actually is and if it was at or slightly below shock level it would be safe to swim, but since you have no idea exactly what your chlorine level is, I'd wait on the test kit just to be sure. :) It looks with the 90 degree temps you...

Wow, they are moving right along. :)

Looking good :)

I'm so excited for you guys:whoot:I see water whoot, whoot.

Wow, It's looking really good, and clearing up nicely. Keep up the great job!!! :).

You need to maintain it until you pass all 3 criteria for ending the SLAM which are 1) an overnight FC loss of 1ppm or less, 2)A CC of .5 or less 3) a Crystal clear pool Your pool is looking great by the way. The difference is awesome. Keep up the great job, and you'll be there before you...

Yes, just keep bumping it back up to shock level as often as you can because the more you keep it there the quicker the process will go. You're doing a great job!!!!

You have a beautiful home and yard already, so a pool will complete it nicely. lol Whiskey I'm sure will be the overseer of the project to ensure it all goes smoothly. LOL those Party/Christmas lights have a Gretchen Wilson song lyric written all over them, but lol whatever works. Have a...

Your little feller is such a little cutie. Just look at that sweet smile. :)

It will probably be fine under the "Just getting started" forum, but if not, they will get er moved for you, so not to worry. Your Signature Information looks really good. Now that my old eyes can see all the measurements etc. I must say that's going to be one awesome pool when it's complete...

Hi Jason, and Welcome to TFP, :wave: By your design it looks like your pool is going to be a nice one. If you want post all your "Build info in your Signature by going to Setting at the top right of your page, then Edit Signature on the left side of the next page under the bold MY Settings...

Yeah, I saw them Moto, and commented on it above. Very scary, and I'd think also not safe. :shock:

Re: Adding bleach for 2 or more days? Hi Boris. I'm not sure the way you do it is necessarily the "wrong way to do it," and if it works for your pool to do it that way, and your levels remain within the recommended range at all times, that's great, I wish myself, and many others were as...
