instead of posting a new thread on my test results, I just decided to bump this one...I know Kim will see it eventually :lol: so, after playing with the water chems for 2 weeks now, ive come to the conclusion my CYA is a solid 20 at this number, I'm adding exactly 1/2 gal bleach everyday...

sorry about him being a jerk, what voltage is the pump? I believe those are 110 pumps and need to be on a GFCI breaker...do the instructions have electrical requirements? have you tried the AG pool forum, we have some pretty knowledgable folks on here, I'm sure someone will chime in in a minute

this is a pic from today. not much sun, but water isn't looking too too bad. got the ph up to 7.2 and FC is at 7.5

oohhhh that's her, I've actually read that before...pretty impressive. and now y'all are helping me!! :cheers:

^^^^^ invaluable info...thanks. I filled the pool from the hose bibs on the house, so it was softened pre entering the pool. ICR what our manganese content was pre softener....IIRC it is .6 or 6 ppm. .6 sounds more like it, I would have to look at the well test before. and surprisingly, we do...

ok, will do... I read your post last night late. this morning the pool has cleared considerably, I left pump on last night with the skimmer full of the poly micron (?) don't know what they really call it...but it had caught a lot of brown manganese. I'm wondering when I add chlorine again today...

you were right Kim, CYA showed up ASAP...after reading for 2 yrs about the difficulty on reading the CYA test, I thought it was pretty straight forward. the dot became obscure between 25-30. anyhow, so I added a gal of bleach (8%) and disaster struck...the water turned brownish green, which I...

so the pool finished filling almost to the skimmer Sat morning...left the house to a dance recital, and while we were gone, the bottom (of the sky) fell out. We got home to a pool running over the top...lol and a muddy mess around it. I hadn't even turned the pump on (trying to figure out the 2...

You'll be around Saturday Kim? I'll start playing around with the bleach and CYA and my test kit...woo hoo good times!

so we have water!! :snorkle::paddle: they got a lot done today, a lot! can't walk on the pool floor for 48 hours :bummer:... our little girl is about to come unglued with excitement, so are mom and dad. so the fun begins in a day or two, turning on the pump, circulating water, and actually...

nice thread...enjoying the pics

so today was dig day. hopefully everything will go smooth and be filling with water this wkend! maybe....:kim:

Ours was about $1900...the steps are engineered and comes in about 100 pcs, the panels are different, just changes the whole complexion of that end of the pool...labor intensive to install

the Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Pools states that you should eliminate handholds and footholds and minimize the size of openings in a barrier’s construction. the concern wouldn't necessarily be for her children, but neighborhood kids. I think one could safely assume that the first...
