Ok, so if i cant make enough FC i can add more regular bleach? That might make the decision for me! Thank you!

Thanks everyone for your input, and esp your input on the type of SWG. I asked on this forum a few years back about the SWG and was told my pool was too large. I never understood why size would limit my ability to use SWG since commercial pools are much bigger. Any thoughts on that? Is it...

I just paid $21.00 for 2.5 gallons of 12.5% bleach. I am flabberghasted! Thinking about chlorine alternatives, any suggestions for my 40,000 gallon concrete pool in Pennsylvania?

Oh my! These look a bit different than our springtails

Well it seems to have only been a short-lived problem. I have not seen them since that initial shock and disgust! Good luck with your pool. Here rain continues but heat is wicked!

CYA is a bit low at 30, FCwas at 3 when I added 1.5 gallons of pool store strength chlorine (12.5%?) last night. Water is clear and CC was at less than 0 .5 but we have had issues with leaves and seed pods and pollen blowing in all season.

I just discovered a bunch of circles of what I think are springtails floating in my pool—out of the blue they appeared! YUCK!!!. What do I do? Will a SLAM take care of it or is it overkill?

We have frog and salamander problems, but it was worst the first year we moved into the house and the previous owners had not opened the pool for three years. The amphibians thought it was their new home and were using it. In one night we had about 20 egg masses floating in the pool! We...

I believe the pool was built in 1993. We emptied the pool in winter of 2017 to repair coping and surface repair (patch) in a few locations. Is there anything we could do to understand the problem better or is there some one of material we can patch it with under water? Thank you for your...

I hope so too! The pool does not appear to be leaking, if that is any consolation—it is to me, and hope it stays that way for the summer. I would so appreciate input from others who might have knowledge about this.

As the water cleared up after opening we started to see linear cracks on the bottom. Kind of long and very scary looking. I would like to know if it warrants draining the pool or what we should do?
