Never have attempted to take out the light. Had the pool 15 years. Wouldn’t know how to begin!

Funny thing is I never even go in the pool! I just like to look at it and clean it! Been scrubbing not as intensely as you describe, but fairly regularly. It’s 10000% better then it was

I thank you😂. I know I need to take a POP pill! It’s just been sooooo long this year. Had my opening cartridges in until the other day and just switched out to my better ones. Been hosing them off every couple of days. Lesson learned DO NOT WAIT to open until the end of July 🤦‍♀️

Slam question- I have maintained slam levels of fc for the past 9 days. Pool is finally blue, but still cloudy. Haven’t passed overnight test or clear pool so I know I’m still in the midst of the SLAM- my question is.. is it better to add additional chlorine at night even if I’m above SLAM...

Hi! Tested CYA yesterday and it is at 0. Still in the midst of a SLAM pool is now green (not black) which I am taking as slow progress! All other chemistry seems to be ok. PH at 7.2, TA at 40, salt at 2720. FC has stayed right around 10. Water is still swampy and can’t see the bottom yet...

We are just opening the pool now as we needed a new pump. Just had a Hayward maxflo vs 500 installed. When the pump was installed the pool was a swamp - very dark green / black in deep end. Pool company dropped 6 pucks in our skimmer (not sure what they are). FC is down to 10 from 25 a couple...

My OCLT showed a loss of 1 overnight. Still blue but still cloudy. Will add more bleach to try to maintain 4-5 ppm and will watch for staining. Grrrrrr this is so frustrating!!!

Did AA treatment 10 days ago. All was going perfectly until today. We got about 2 inches of rain and my beautiful clear blue pool is now cloudy. In the past I have jumped to adding anything I can to clear it up but no more! TFP has helped me learn and get out of the pool store. I did the AA...

Pool is clear and has been holding FC for the past day and 1/2 or so. Lost 4 ppm FC over night last night and lost 2ppm all day. CC staying at .5 test results are as follows: FC =5 CC =.5 Ph=7.5 CH=350 TA= 150 CYA= 40 I really need to address the stains from the metal. Don’t have a metal...

Been adding bleach over the past couple of days. 4 gallons 6% on my 5th gallon of 8.25%. FC has been fluctuating between 2.5 and 10. Last night added 1 gallon bleach and my FC was 10.5. This morning it was 5. Did a full test and here is what I had FC 5 CC 1 CH 375 TA 210 PH 7.2 Brushed and...

Got it! Add Iron Out II and more bleach. Won’t add anything else at this point and wait for the green to clear. I haven’t added any town water at all, but will have it tested. Thanks again

It’s actually copper that I have in the water, not quite sure where it’s coming from. We had to truck water in when we installed the pool due to a water ban. No issues for the first few years, but have had copper and trace amounts of iron for the past few. Been on a bit of a roller coaster...

FC is at 1 this morning and CC is at .5 Should I add metal sequestering now? I was sold Iron Out Formula II by Omega pool & spa chemicals and I still have a quart or should I add more chlorine?

No, trucked in water and then top off with town. We haven’t added any this year as we haven’t needed to.

Added 2 gallons 8.25% bleach turned SWG to superchlorinate and my water has now turned greenish from clear. FC went up to 2.5 CC at 1 more bleach?

Should I be concerned with the high TA?

The water is clear right now

Just completed my first test with my new kit. I have had a yo yo of results with pool store tests and have also had serious issues with copper in my water and staining. I think the copper may be coming from my heat pump but can’t be sure. I have had temporary success with AA treatment but...
