Hello, we are switching from a 10' Intex to a 20' Intex. The difference? The 10' fit on our concrete patio. The 20' does not. We have grass for the rest of our yard. What is the best thing to put under our new pool to ensure it doesn't rip and or have other problems occur? Thanks!!

It wouldn't have been contamination from the pool filter. The water was already yellow before I filtered it with the additional pump. This is the first time I have used this. Its a blow up(portable) coleman saluspa.

It's about 300 gal. I could drain it, but is there any way to avoid that? A fresh fill with well water takes forever to filter out the iron...

I understand that now. I didnt think my numbers were totally horrible, I just dont know how to correct the problem.

I am a first time spa owner. I have a small pool and thought I could manage the spa like a pool... I checked my levels Fc- 5.5 Cc-1 Tc-6.5 Ch-200 TA- 290 CYA-0 PH- 7.8 I just added some cya to bring it up a tad and some muriatic acid to lower the ph in Hope's to lower the TA as well. I was...

Water looks clear! And I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the current issue, but my ph has been at 8.4 and no matter how much sodium bisulfate I add it wo t go down. ?‍♀️

So I don't need to slam my pool?

Ok thank you! So given my test results, what would my next step be?

Step 1 Test chlorine or bromine levels daily, depending on the chemical you use in your pool. Fill the chlorine/bromine compartment of the receptacle to the fill line. Step 2 Place five drops of OTO liquid testing reagent into the indicated compartment. Hold the bottle vertically when adding the...

Uh, I'm not sure about the OTO or DPD.... I fill the container with all the shades of yellow up to the line and put in 5 drops of the tester? .

I don't know it it matters, but I have had a solar cover on it since putting in chemicals. So at this point what is my next step? Besides getti g a better test kit. I can't find my tf100 kit.... ?‍♀️ And I guess this isn't accurate, but I was told(I can remember by who) that when you're...

Regular Walmart brand bleach

I've added total 24oz in the last week because I my fc is always low due to no cya in it yet.

It's the hth drops

hi

No I do the drops

I'm sure the metal out would contribute to the CC, because I put nothing else in besides a bit of chlorine....

I am using a 6way test. So do I slam the pool before or after I add the cya conditioner to it?

I have an above group round 10ft bt 30" deep pool. Filled with well water that is really high in Iron. I added a cup of bleach to begin with, no conditioner yet, and I added Metal Out to it because the water was yellow as a fresh fill. I guess I just need a hand I balancing everything out...

Nah, they could be in a vat of melted marshmallow and they wouldn't complain of being sticky! Lol!

Awesome! I will do that. Thank you! In the mean time, I would think it's ok to swim, with the levels how they are, correct? Also, I have read on here somewhere to add salt? Is that recommended in this case or not? Thanks so much!

Plain label great value bleach. No algecides. I was going to add a metal sequesriant but managed to filter most of it out before adding. Kids just got in the pool and the bubbles seem to dissapate with the splashing, but what would cause the stickyness?

I just slammed it the other day because my fc was low and my cc was high. I use bleach--normal, not splash less, and the water is crystal clear-under the bubbles! I should add that my water is well water do I had to filter out a lot of iron. [ATTACH=CONFIG]83205[/ATTACH

Just woke up to a slightly bubbly pool today. 1800 gal above ground. Checked for pump leaks, changed filter, Tested levels: Fc-2 Cc -2 Ph-7.5 TA- 80 Cya-50 While testing the levels the water felt sticky! I already added 8oz bleach to bring the levels up. What am I doing wrong?

Ok thank you!

We weren't planning on running it as a permanent pool, we will take it down at the end of the season.
