So I think SLAM is in order? FC was at 7 last night and 4.4 this morning. ? The water is cloudy this morning. Can I say I’m super nervous about that process!!?

My FC was 5.4 10 minutes after adding the bleach. I have the stabilizer in the sock! I assume I should recheck first thing in the morning?

Thanks so much for the help! Can I use Shock (I have that) or do I have to use liquid chlorine/bleach?

We opened the pool early this year because of Covid and we were home and had time. We’ve definitely had a spring here in NC with lower temperatures and rainy weather. I have added liquid chlorine multiple times and it never goes up! Here are my readings from this morning: pH <7 TA 40 FC & CC...

Thanks! I will get what you recommended. So why do they sell algaecide with copper in it if it’s so bad for the pool?

I do have a couple tiny of brownish stains on the pool liner. I never put those together.

We built the pool about 3 years ago but always let the pool guys do the work. This year I want to be smarter! I’ve had copper in years past. I didn’t realize it was because I used algaecide. Last year I had an algae problem that sprung up from nowhere and I spent lots of $$$ to clear it up...

Hi Friends! Tell me how I’m doing! We’ve had rain EVERYDAY for about 3 weeks now and just had Alberto come through. I’ve been trying to keep my levels stable. I know I need bleach, but here is my readings from this morning. CYA-40 FC- 1.5 CC- not present PH- 7.4 TA- 100 CH- 200 What do I...

I’m posting here because I feel like you guys know me lol! But if it needs to be moved let me know. We have been dealing with days and days of HEAVY rain. My water still looks good with the exception of some leaves in the middle. My FC is barely like a 1. I’m worried it’s going to start...

It's me again! We are currently fighting a never ending cold front that keeps bring rain rain and more rain so my FC is at a 1 but I'm so proud of myself though and wanted to thank you all for your wonderful help! :D

?? I remember those days so well! My girls are now 12 and I miss the days of toddlerhood. It’s so much nicer than the eye rolling and sudden mood swings. ?*?? But now, I can use them for manual labor!

Where do I buy stabilizer if I don’t get it at the pool store? Also...should I vacuum before adding all the chemicals? The pollen is terrible here so it could use a good vacuum. Sorry for all the novice questions

FC- 5 CYA- non existent PH-we will assume higher than 8 TA- 80 CH-250 Does any of this sound right?!?

Ok...the black dot never disappeared! It never turned cloudy

I swear it’s like you can see me right now! Panic has set in. I didn’t even see the numbers on the bottles. ?[emoji15] I can do this!!

Thanks! Tomorrow I will test the CYA and the others!

Hi everyone! I’ve just opened our above ground pool and the water is beautiful! I have always used the pool stores but I’ve finally came over to the light. I ordered my Taylor K-2006C kit but I have NO idea what I’m doing. I’ve read the Pool School posts but I’m an accountant and never was...
