Thanks for the tip! Our Walmart sells them for 6.84 for a 2 pack. But I am in AL - I will have to check out lowes too!
We have blue water!! Didn't pass the overnight though; so brought it back up to shock level this morning. Today might be the day!
The last time I checked Lowes, they had it outside, and it was OLD!
Which is why I mentioned Wally World.

I never doubted that you would be able to get it clear again!

Whoop whoop - i think we might finally be there! Now to get this stains out.
I testes a little bit ago
14 FC
1 CC
90 TA
130 CH
I didn't test PH because I'm pretty sure one of you said when FC is over 10 PH is not accurate right?
My CYA is like -50 haha - i ran out of the liquid and you can still see the dot even in a picture. What is the best thing to use to get my CYA #s back up?

It looks like your CYA is a bit low...
Back to walmart with you! ... they sell conditioner in the pool section, put 1 lb into a sock, and hang the sock in front of the return stream.
Let it dissolve, then give it 24-48 hrs, and re-test.
Your CC is still a bit high... 1ppm ... keep up with the slam for a little bit longer.
I would like to see a CC of 0.5, or lower. Anything higher indicates that the chlorine is still actively fighting something.
But your pool is coming along quite well!

It would probably still be good in 5 years and you'd still need it, right?
Regardless, the link I gave was simply what I bought but the shop has smaller portions for sale...or could share with someone nearby.
A 15K pool with 0 CYA needs between 4-6lbs in order to get between 30-50ppm CYA.

Thats is big ole box of stabilizer haha I think we actually have some already but i will add some and keep up with the SLAM!
soooo....i broke something I cleaned out the filter at the pump and now it won't circulate. I am guessing it can't prime it self and there is too much air?

Do you mean the pump basket in front of the motor? Or the big filter? Check the rubber o-ring that's underneath the pump lid. Make sure it didn't fall out or get pinched somehow. If you opened the pump lid, you probably lost all the water back down the pipes. Fill up a bucket with water and fill it up quickly and screw on that pump lid right away, before the air lets it escape again. Don't forget to bleed the air out of the filter until you see a steady stream of water.
it won't let upload a picture right now, but i am talking about the basket right next to the filter. Where in the world is the pressure relief value.....ughhhh
I don't have a pressure relief valve to bleed the air out of on my filter. All it says is to prime it (i put water in the pump basket and closed the lid) and put it on backwash and let the tank fill with water

The pressure relief valve is usually on top of the filter somewhere. Often it's part of the pressure gauge, sometimes, it's just a rubber screw that you loosen or tighten to open and close it.

It's free and it's works just fine.

didn't know that about the pictures! I got it working though. My model does have a relief value apparently though.
I had to sit there with a hose and fill the entire pipe up.

Don't add the CYA until your SLAM is done. If you start adding CYA then the amount of Cl you need to SLAM goes up.
I just got done with my SLAM. This thread might or might not be useful to you: High CYA - what to do first
