    Went home on my lunch to check on the pool. To my surprise the water was still trickling down the slide but the pool looked like the photo below. I gave the pool a quick brush to try to agitate things and a few minutes later the noise of the pump changed and the trickle of water stopped. I...

    This morning the FC had dropped to 16. I put some more liquid shock in to bring it up to a minimum of 20. I didn't have time to test the CC. The part that I am most worried about is the filter pressure. Before I tested the water I cleaned my filter grids as the PSI was high. I then started the...

    my TF-100 kit is getting delivered today and I would like to pick up which chemicals I may need in order to start the SLAM process.

    There hasn't been too much stuff in the baskets at the skimmer or the pump since we took the cover off. I have tried blowing out the lines with the shop vac but ill pick up a bladder tomorrow and give that a shot. Any other suggestions?

    thanks pooldv. Ill try to get some test done. I order the test kit today that a lot of people recommend on TFP today. The water looks cloudy blueish green. It was very green when I first took the cover off (about 2 weeks ago). We used a opening kit from a pool store which got rid of most of the...
