[Raise Cya Level]

hi,

my pool has a CYA level of 0. Do I have to buy the expensive stabilizer from the pool store or can I use something else to raise the CYA level?

[55 Gallons Liquid Chlorine?]

Hi,

does anybody know where to buy 55 gallons barrel liquid chlorine? Usually it's used for commercial pools but I suppose it's much cheaper than buying those 1 gallon bottles. I buy them for $3.50 per gallon. Is that a good price or can I get them cheaper somewhere?

thanks

The pool is still cloudy. I used the vacuum until it broke

I also washed the filter several times. Chlorine levels droped to normal at the moment, it's just getting too expensive and I think the algea should be dead now after one week super high chlorine levels.

Do I necessarily need DE in the filter to filter the algea or does is work even without DE?

[Cartridge Filter]

How long do those cadridges last?

Backwashing my filter doesnt usually help. Pressure builds up within 3 houres again. I always have to rinse the cadridges off with water. Even then the pressure lasts just for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to exchange the cadridges or is there a way to clean them?

Ok, last night I put 4 more gallons of liquid chlorine (10%) in the pool and 24 houres later there was still chlorine in the pool, the first time. The pool is still cloudy but how do I know if it is dead algea or living algea? And how can I clear it if it is dead?

btw my filter pressure is already pretty high and backwashing doesnt usually help at all. I always have to take it apart and wash it manually. What could be the reason for that? I don't know how old the filter elements are, I bought the house a year ago.

Ok, yesterday I got 6 gallons Clorox regular bleach and put it all in the pool at 8 pm. Today in the morning I checked the chlorine level and it was 0 (ZERO!).

Pool is still green, even I think it is a darker blueish green now.

What does that mean?

24 ppm... wow... so I can just go to walmart, buy tons of Ultra bleach and put it in the pool?

I have a green pool too. So I bought GreenToClean from Leslies and used that in combination with a chlorine shock treatment. It said to just circulate the water. after 36 houres now it is still green. Should I run the filter now again?

pH = 7.4

TA = 100

CYA = 60

[Losing Pressure]

I have the same problem. When I backwash my filter the pressure stays for 10 minutes, then it goes up again.

How long do those filter elements last until I have to change them?

[Chlorine Level Too Low?]

one more question, why does the filter pressure shoot up if I add chlorine? I have a DE filter but I don't think I have a RECIRCULATE option on it. The pool is a little green too and I just cleaned the filter a week ago but the pressure already increased by 10 psi.

[Chlorine Level Too Low?]

thanks for the quick answer. It is true that a lot of leaves got into the pool during the winter while I was on gone vacation. I'll bring a water sample to a pool shop tomorrow. I hope they can figure out what the problem is because last time I did that they said everything is ok I just need more chlorine.

[Lack Of Chlorine]

I have exactly the same problem. I am adding chlorine without any results. Test shows always 0.

BTW, where do I get the cheapest chlorine? I used powder shocks and liquid chlorine, nothing helped.

[Chlorine Level Too Low?]

Hi

Recently I have problems to keep the chlorine level up in my pool. Yesterday for example I added 3 gallons of liquid chlorine (10%) and today the chlorine test shows 0 (I tried 2 different tests). The pool is roughly 30.000 gallons. How can that be? What am I doing wrong?

thanks
