    Thanks. My pH test showed 7.4 (but my test kit is a few years old). Pool shop was 8.4.

    Pool opening - new liner/new water ... advice needed

    My pool liner was not supposed to be installed for a few more weeks...but it happened this week. I completed filling the pool yesterday. I began running the pump yesterday as well. I'll keep it running 24/7 for the time being. I kept putting off buying the appropriate test chemicals thinking I...

    First test of the year...looking for guidance

    Been real hot and sunny the past 4-5 days. I've been good to keep the FC around 5-7...then 3 days ago it was 3ish. Today when swimming, I can still see the bottom well, but I can tell something is off...even my 13 year old noticed the water was not as clear as it normally is. I brought the...

    First test of the year...looking for guidance

    No, very little debris in the pool. The cover did its job. The only thing different this year was the water loss due to the leak. On a side note, I did decide to do a SLAM to be on the safe side.

    First test of the year...looking for guidance

    I vacuumed the pool today for the first time. I noticed a yellowish - tinge around the outer edge on the bottom. I scrubbed with a brush and tried to vacuum...but nothing...it's almost as if it's stained. I don't recall this last fall when I closed, but maybe it was there and I just was used...

    First test of the year...looking for guidance

    CYA level is now at 35/40. I added chlorine yesterday...last night it was 10.5 / 11....this morning it is 9 / 9.5. Water is crystal clear, but there is some debris on the bottom. My pool is under a bunch of massive pine trees. PH is still at 7.5. Is there any need to do a SLAM, or can I...

    First test of the year...looking for guidance

    Opened the pool a few days back. There was a hole in the liner, leaving only about 20" of water at opening. I have filled to the top. Below are my initial readings. I know adding all the new water is the reason the CYA is so low. 10ish is a guess as I had to fill the tube all the way to the...
