Thank you and I will get SLAMing it today. It is funny what you said as my FC did drop at the end of the month. Guess that is what I get for not staying on top of it. That will not happen again.

Hello everyone, My pool has now been opened for a week and all was going just great and today I noticed a little bit of green algae showing up on the bottom of the pool. Here are my stats as of this morning: Date Target 9-Jun FC 5 5 CC 1 FC target based on CYA 5 - 7...

Thank you. I am thinking I might leave the solar cover on or just a regular cover based on what the temp is as the time gets closer. Would like the water temp to be mid to upper 70's (78). Family like that the best. And we all know have to keep the wife and kid(s) happy. ;)

Good day everyone. Before I start, I just want to say that last year was my first year with an permanente pool (as I have had Intex pools in the past) and you guys really ROCK! I followed your closing instructions last year and when I pulled back the cover just a few days ago, my water was...

Sorry, I am testing with the Taylor K2006 test kit and with refills which I just received the day I did the tests.

Hello everyone, I have a question for all of you, I will be going away for 1 week and I am concerned about the chemistry for my pool. Currently this is what I have: PH 7.5 FC 7 CYA 60 TA 160 About 2 weeks ago I did start to get some green algae starting and I quickly Shocked the pool which...

Happy to say pool is all clear with the help of a friend who lent us a generator as we lost power 1 day into the Shock Treatment.

Thank you very much for the understanding. I will check that out and add it to my spreadsheet

I almost forgot to add, I just added 3 jugs of Bleach to the pool as of writing this.

Hello everyone, I now have a nice new pool and have been very happy with it. My water has for the most part always been good and within all the TFP recommendation. This morning when I got up to clean out the skimmer, I noticed a bit of GREEN algae by the skimmer. Now about 5 hours latter...

OK, I will go with a solid cover for the winter. What should I look for in the cover, or does it really matter as long as it is at least a medium grade?

Hello everyone, I now have moved up from an Intex 22'x54" which I would need to take down every year to a 24'x52" Steel pool this year. I do get the the pool math and the regular maintenance from prior pools but now I will need to prep the pool for winter this coming year and based on how hard...

Good Day Everyone, I have been using an Intex poo for some time now and we are thinking of upgrading it to one which I don't need to take down every year. I do want to stay with saltwater as I have found it to be much less effort. I would like like to know if anyone has any suggestions on pool...

I am correcting my PH now and will start my SLAM in just a bit. Thank you very much for the feed back and yes I only have about 4 weeks left before I will need to drain the pool completely and put away for the Winter.

I am using a Taylor test kit that was recommended via these threads. I don't remember the exact kit number. The pool is 12,100 gallons.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help with my Salt pool (Intex 22'x52" round). It is GREEN. Let me explain. Pool was in good condition before we left for vacation. Came back 2 weeks later and it was green! I had the SWG run for 6hr and pump 9 every day at night. Left a solar cover on as...

Hey Everyone, I must say that you really have helped me out through the years. I have a had an Intex 15 x 42 pool for 3 years with a SWG with a sand filter and it has been just great. This year we are upgrading to a 22' x 52". My questions for all of you are as follows: 1) How much sand...

Thank you for the clarification. I just received notice that my new filter will arrive on Friday. Pool will get setup on Saturday and filling will begin Saturday night with it finished by Sunday morning. :) Let our summer begin. (After a few warm days to warm up the water temperature)

So I should add the chlorine at the beginning. Interesting, didn't think that I needed to do that. Just to make sure that I understand you, I should NOT add the salt when I am filling, get the PH and CYA set first then add bleach to get the the correct chlorine level then add the salt and...

Hi all, Just looking for some suggestions for starting the pool up this year. I have an Intex 15'x42" pool (approx. 3800gal.) and will be setting it up this weekend. This year I will be using a new sand filter 2800GPH with my SWG (both from Intex). I was wondering if you have any suggestions...

Hello everyone! I am very new to pool ownership like since July 3 this year. My wife and I decided to purchase a small pool for my daughter (7) so we picked up an INTEX 15' round 42" high pool. In looking at all different posts we decided to make this pool a saltwater pool as to do without...
