We bought our house in July with an existing above ground pool (aka swamp). I finally started tackling the thing after feeling encouraged from reading threads on TFP and learning all the things here. So thanks!
So, I've been SLAMming the pool for a good 2+ weeks now, and it has slowly been looking better and better. But I'm ready for it to be done, and everyone is impatient and wants to swim (2 weeks before that I had been pouring the bleach in, but not SLAMming it, apparently, because I messed up on the numbers, and some no-no things I shouldn't have put in it. I've learned from my mistake. ANYWAY....
Here I am today as of 1 PM
FC=19 (It was 19 last night, I added 18 oz of Cal-Hypo before bed to get it back to 24 [I was all out of liquid], this morning much of the cal hypo was still undissolved, and at 9 AM, FC was still 19. I added 18 more oz of cal hypo. Still not all dissolved by 1, but FC still the same. I'm heading to the store to get more bleach in a bit))
CC=2
CH=175
CYA=60
TA=170
PH=7.5
The water is still cloudy, but no visible debris. I've been adding a little DE to my sand filter to help clear it faster, but not appearing to do anything.
Is there anything else I should adjust at this point, or just keep SLAMming it? (my pump has been working non stop, I'm scared to see my power bill haha)
Thanks!
