I wouldn't just yet. I would see if it settles then vac to waste or run your robot if you have one with the pump off. I would also try some fiber clear in the filter. It is safer than DE anyway. If you find it is working then brush, brush, brush to get it filtered out. Just remember that it is...

I ❤️ U You are a true Inspiration 😊😊😊

Me either

For heavy stuff like salt, mulch, sand etc. I use curbside pickup. Much easier. you are doing amazing👏👏👏 and your backyard is gorgeous. What a beautiful space.

You go! 🎉🎉🎉

I am rooting for you❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉 SLAM party on!

Is there an irrigation system? My neighbor‘s irrigation has a leak and the sidewalk is always wet.

Good job! You have worked hard and it‘s finally turning around for you❤️

Test again 30 minutes after your last dose for the day. You don’t want the sun. I just read a thread the other day someone ran into this. Her bottle said 12.5 and her testing matched up with 10%. She confirmed with the clerk and he said yes 12.5% the manager said it was wrong and it was in fact...

I just looked over your logs. Have you confirmed your chlorine is 12.5% and tested to confirm?

I hate to say it but keep at it. It sounds like your gaining on the algae and the clarity is improving. Is the water turning more blue? I know you have been at this a long time. We need POP pool owner patience....and it’s hard. I don’t know how much sun you get but I have to keep an eye on my...

We are not trying to pass the OCLT, just trying to see how much she is losing overnight without the sun So we can see if she is still has a lot of organic s in the water.

❤️ Keep plugging away.

Sounds good. Don‘t be disappointed you don’t pass. It just gives us an idea of How much chlorine your still burning through with organic stuff.

I couldn’t figure it out either. That’s why I suggested the Cellulose, I thought if we could get some of the algae both dead and alive out it would help move things along. Do you have an idea of how much you are losing overnight?

Yes, the Fiber Clear needs to added each time you change the filters. A lot of gunk yuck. How is the chlorine going? Any slime?

I have been checking for this thread. I can’t wait to see everything in action. This is amazing!

Your doing great! Has your pressure risen at all? The deep end will be the last to see blue. Keep filtering that crud out🎉🎉🎉 How is the chlorine going are you holding chlorine, feeling any slime? Clearing the pool is just one part of the process. Let’s get you to the occult and finish this so...

Yes, I saw a thread on here and one of the experts said to use it with the cartridge filter. So I went and looked at my bag of Fiber Clear and it said you could use it. I have used Fiber Clear For several years. This year since switching to the SWG I haven’t used it because the water is so...

You should be progressing more. I really think you should try some cellulose. A quick search on here should give you the info. My theory is it catches finer stuff whether dead or alive and gets it out of the way. If you could at least get it cleared you can at see some progress and see if your...

Any updates?

Okay, I saw in another thread you can use some cellulose in a cartridge filter. I am going to tag @joyfullnoise he can advise if this is something to help with filtering some of this stuff out faster. I just wanted to give a little moral support. I know how much your arms hurt and you feel like...

No, it has to be pop...pool owner patience, but have you checked your filter? Is it dirty? I have a sand filter and add Fiber Clear to help filter better. I am not familiar with a cartridge filter, maybe one of the experts will pop in and be able to help. Keep doing what your doing. Don’t do...

Yeah!🎉🎉🎉 I see a difference on the stairs. Keep it up, scrub, scrub, scrub...you have to keep at it. keep going over those returns, skimmer, stairs etc. Good Job👍👍👍

mine is a strip and it gets a lot of gunk and every time I get algae starting that is the first place I check. If your feeling slime then you still have active algae. That biofilm forms a protective coating. Every time you brush you break that film allowing the chlorine to break it down. I...

How’s it looking today?

I can’t help with the staining if it is metals. The experts here know how to take care of that. I do get A little iron in my water at certain times of the year and it shows up on my steps, returns, skimmer etc. I just use Magic Erasers to clean those things and it works awesome. The Magic Eraser...

I see a difference in the pics. Yes to the slime. That is the biofilm and that is why you need to keep at the brushing and keep on cleaning those same items. I would do It twice a day. You have to keep on that biofilm. Did you get in the pool? If so did you feel any slime on the liner anywhere...

I tried to get a pic of my skimmer. The liner is behind the skimmer face plate. I tend to get gunk in there so I separate them as much as possible and run a toothbrush in there as well. Excuse my grody hand. I fertilized flowers this morning and use marker dye.

I would get in there and scrub the returns, take them off and clean them well. The same with the skimmer, get a toothbrush and scrub around the outside and when scrubbing the inside make sure you hit the top of the box as well. Then I would thoroughly check those steps. Scrub them well, feel...
