Hello from NE Texas!

Bought a house with a pool this winter and upon opening the pool discovered we bought a pool with a house in front 😂

Before and after pics the "professional pool guy" treated the pool ... I had just pulled the cover and shocked with liquid chlorine to get FC up but couldn't get the PH to budge so I called in the pros. A highly recommended pro with good reviews! This guy dumped almost 10 lbs of baking soda and filled up the chlorination tube with 3" tabs and showed me how to backwash the filter and left ... next morning is pic #2.

Found y'all, ordered a good test kit, and used pool math to fix the PH and TA and started SLAM yesterday. Pic 3 is this morning ... already a big improvement.

Welcome to the forum...sounds like you're already 3 steps ahead of the 'pool-guy' ;)

Get that robot in there (if it's not already!!)
