So...... The pool is looking better and better each day. I'm still Slamming because it's not exactly clear yet. My CYA has been dropping slowly due to vacuuming a little to waste everyday and adding in new water that is double filtered! See my new filter: I made b(no no more added iron!) I've...

While I’m still Slamming should I still not test and adjust PH, Calcium, Alkalinity? The water is still cloudy and has small piles of cloudy stuff.

Yes. The filters I’m talking about are the house filters that filter the water coming in from well. I have turned them back on. Hopefully this sloves the rusty water.

It does look like this:

There's no markings on it and Still waiting for return phone call. It's not to transparent. Pretty sure it's for filtering metals. The neigborhood (I just learned) is full of iron wells!

Will do. The sock does catch some rust color. Maybe with the polyfill and the sock we'll catch more. I'll keep SLAMing. And turn those filters back on to our well water. In researching online I have a water softener and some other big filter.

Thanks. I do have a sock on my skimmer basket. I'll get some poly-fill also. I do have water softener (salt bin) and another big canister looking filter. Not sure what it is. Waiting on a call from the company who installed. Earlier on I emptied 40% of the pool and refilled with our well water...

I went to see the pool today (2pm) and here's my levels: FC 13.5 CYA 35 CC .5 PH 7.8 (I'm still slamming) Alk 90 CAL 190 Water has a rust color to it now. I vacuumed to filter (not waste). Brushed pool for good 30 mins. Will keep doing for another 5 days (total would be 2 weeks and then start...

My starting PH was 7.4 CYA is now at 38 and keeping FC at 16. CC is at .5 or less.

Thanks. Following Slam process. Should I not vacuum up the dead algae piles that I see? Should I use my pool cleaner (Dolphin Triton PS)? Should I brush more than once daily? Pool is getting greener and darker than when I started.

Thanks for your response. I am a first time pool owner. I did see all of the chemisty, however I thought I saw somewhere (When slamming which is what I'm doing for the last week) that I don't need to worry about other levels until pool is clear. Should I start making sure all other levels are...

Pool's getting to look like a pond! Am I correct to ignore all levels except FC, CC and CYA till pool is clear? I vacuum to wate everyday, fill pool with more water, test for FC and CC (.5 or less) and brush. I have a good filter with zeoSand. Should I backwash and rinse the filter everyday? I...
