Ok. Friends new pool. 24k gallon SVG. Iron well filled. Water also trucked in by tank that fertilizes fields. Chlorine level will not stay up. Have tried the 10 minute test and got FC level to hold to 5 but when tried to slam could only get fc level to 19 with 18 gallons of walmart pool...

Ok. Went through the every 10 minute bleach add and test and finally held at 5. So started the slam process and she said the pool is getting greener. It was fairly clear. Is that possible? Here is a pic.

Thank you!

Thank you. So no need to get the pH level up before starting this process?

Please help! New pool fill, vinyl liner, 24K gallons, SWG. It was filled with well water and water trucked in. Turns out the truck that brought the water in, is a truck that they fertilize fields with. So, there was some concern of ammonia, however she never tested it. My friend tried...

She has the tf100. So the best way to get rid of ammonia is to slam??

Here is what they are using to shock

I'm really not sure about the type of shock they are using but seems like the would have to be.

Hi there. My friend has a Tf 100 test kit and is showing a fc level of 4 and cc of 10. She has used a lot if shock lately. Anyway. The pool guys accucheck strips do not detect chlorine but the tf100 does. I tested my water with the accucheck strips vs tf100 and results were pretty much...

Thanks for the feedback. So yesterday she tossed in enough shock for a 48,000 gallon pool and her pool is 24,000 gallon vinyl liner new pool. She tested the FC 4 hours later and it was a 1. Some info: They filled with well water. She added the recommended amount of salt per Pool math...

I don't think she has tested that quickly to know if chlorine is a 0 after 15 minutes. I will get her to but what type issue could it mean? Will also tell her to do the SLAM method in its entirety

Hi there! My friend put a pool in and is trying to get their water balanced. They had some issues with getting the pool filled with water quickly and their water turned green. I gave her the instructions for the SLAM procedure. She put in 16 gallons of 10% bleach and was still getting a...

Thank you. I'm only on my 2nd year with a pool. So, I have no clue what a too high ph is. Lol.

Hi there. Here are my numbers and they have stayed consistent for a couple of weeks or so Cl 4.5 CC 0 TA 40 Ph 7.5 Cya 70 Salt 3000 I will be adding salt but pool math says to add 15 lbs of baking soda. I'm a little scared that will raise my ph too high. Do I just go with it and add...

FC-9.5 CC-1 pH-8.2 + (color was darker than color for 8.2, so I assume it is higher than 8.2) TA-90 CH-125 CYA -65-70 Salt...3300 SWG at 90% Water is fairly clear, though I wouldn't say it is crystal clear Yesterday my pH was 8.1, so I added some muriatic acid, per pool math. Also had to add...

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for your reply. I will have to add more, because it is either 3200 or 3300 for my salt cell (I'll have to look). Should I get my salt level right before I turn on the salt cell?

Me again! OK. I put eighteen 40 lb bags of salt in yesterday. I have not turned the salt cell on yet. Has just been 24 hrs. Here are my readings just now: FC- 3.0 (I added 3 qts bleach, as recommended by pool math app) CC- 0 pH- 7.5 TA- 100 CH- 140 CYA - 70 Salt-- 1120 or 2800?? By...

Ok, here goes. Just got pump going yesterday afternoon and added 12 lbs cya and 1 gallon of 10% bleach. This afternoon, I tested and got the following results.. Cya- 60 pH- 7 Fc- 2.5 TA- 80 The app says to add roughly 4lbs cya and 12 lbs borax. Does that sound right? Just dont want to...

Thank you all!!!

Hello out there! We are about finished adding the water and I wanted to be prepared. I fill be doing the TFP method. I know I need to add the CYA, per the sock method. I had previously been instructed to add bleach after that and then when water hit 60 degrees add the salt. Well that was...
