First thing first. I am reading every word of Pool School.....now my story

Pool Specs

24x52 above ground some name thing that holds water
1hp Maxi pump
Heyward EC40 filter (with bolts) so its old.


So here i am "living the dream" My fiance and I just bought our first house. Much to my Disliking we bought a house with a pool....(happy wife happy life....). we were initially told HEY! the liner is good but a little old. I later find out it was 15 years old, leaked water like shower head. So i embarked on that journey which ended up being pretty easy. now i go to the pool store without doing research (I am a avid post guy on a VW forum) so i should have done my homework before going in. I thought i would get an easy answer and swim. I WAS WRONG I GOT POOLSTORED!!!!!:spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman:.

they sold me PRISTINE BLUE!

The chemicals have been in my pool for 5 days now....so not too long at all.

I should have on my door as i type at work a nice test kit so once i get that i will post some test results.

my biggest thing is this....I DO NOT want to refill some water in my pool. DID I change my mind soon enough i can get the Copper out or neutralized out of the water?

HELP......I am a car guy not a pool guy....apparently i am now though.

Welcome to TFP!!!

Well the copper is in the water now, just do not add any more. You could try the Cu-lator product which seems to have shown some effectiveness at removing copper from the water.

Please add your pool details to your signature as described HERE as it will help us help you.

i got the 2006 one...full name is missing from my brain at the moment. I have not and do not and will not add any more of that stuff in my pool.

absolutely i will!

also another random fact. Sunday it decided to Monsoon and filled the pool with about an inch or two of rain water. i don't know if that will be affect anything or not

If the pool did not overflow, then the rain did not do much ... 2" in a 48" pool is only a 4% change in water. So your CH, CYA will have dropped by 4%.

it did not overflow it did get up to the top of the skimmer opening.

The number of people post a 0 TA today is crazy.
If true, your pH must be down in the 4s

You need to start using PoolMath and raising your pH until 30 mintues later you get a reading in the 7s. Then recheck the TA as it may need to be adjusted.

Then you will need to add CYA to protect the FC from the sun.
