Even after two treatments over 48 hour period my pool is not clear yet. How soon can I treat and should I double strength? 30K gallon inground.

First of all, are your chems right? Do you ave the correct chlorine and PH levels; did you use an algecide? This is most important. If so, then dump more clarifier in. I usually dump at least double at opening if not more. If you're still having problems, double check that your filter is clean else take a water sample to the local pool store for more help.

Question...did you follow directions, and place liquid in a bucket to dilute and distribute throughout the pool area? We use it about once a month and it keeps the water crystal clear...this does not replace your regular chlorination etc, but as an option for flocculants. Do you clean the filter several times while it is running after you use the product? It may take two or three times cleaning the filter to get all the flocculants out of the water.

Do not double the dosage of this product. Over treatment can cause cloudy water. If this is not clearing your cloudy water you most likely have some other issues going on.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!

It doesn't take long because it is baking soda. Once you have your water balanced right once a week should work unless you're using the pool alot. If using alot then three times a week.

Your level are found in the manual and it depends on the size of pool you have. To be honest I have around a 5500 gallon pool and added I think around 120 pounds and this will last along time just as long as you are not draining water out of the pool. If I were you and your pump is reading low salt I would add a bag and see what you got after a few hours. I always use the salt specified for pools because it is finer crystals and take no time to dissolve

You need something else, this should have cleared it up already. Get some melafix. Also, if you could please give me the tank size, how many times a month you do water changes, and filtration information. He might not be able to get well if the tank is to small.

I did Oklahoma stone that's pool coping. Instructions say to dab up any excess that pools as this isn't desirable when dried. I noticed on the third & final coat applied with a paint brush that small areas started staying behind. I just brushed it out/over the dryer parts of the stone. Like I said this was outdoor pool coping, and, for that purpose there is no wiping-polishing-buffing. Just let dry and keep dry (no rain) for 24 hours.

Never put in more than .5 lb in at a time in a pool this small. Get the cheapest chlorine indicator you can find and just drop it in the water if it turns orange there is too much chlorine if it is faint yellow you might wanna add a little more. Remember chlorine is acidic so you will need to keep some base handy if you don't want your eyes to burn (soda ash, ect.).

I put one in the skimmer or floater with the chlorine tablets ratio of 2 chlorine to 1 clear balance and replace evenly. MINE LASTS AT LEAST 1-2 WEEKS

Interesting timing. We are using it to replace some pool tiles as we speak. We lowered the water to apply the tiles. After two days, the tiles are not set. Read instructions, after the fact, and learned it takes one to two weeks to dry--oh my! Am now wondering how it will hold once "cured" when we raise the water level. Have used this product on other above water applications and it is an amazing product!

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

Try to keep your alkalinity around 90-100. I adjust that with sodium bicarbonate. Keep the pH around 7.2 to 7.4. Keep the chlorine around 3 ppm. Be careful on the calcium hardness the drops go bad fast and Won't give you an accurate reading So replace those once a year probably all of them once a year. Keep your calcium hardness around 200to 300 ppm. If you've added calcium to the pool but you can't get the numbers up suspect that the drops are bad. I love the test I use one at home and one of the apartment complex that I own. JR

I can complete 4 four minute treatments (it's either 3 or 4 minutes per treatment spot), before my Tanda Clear+ begins to slow down. It sounds like something isn't right with yours. If the instruction guide doesn't address the issue then maybe you need to return it. Good luck!

Hi Kate, The label says to add 5ml/50 (10ml/100) gallons daily for three days when adding new fish. Use the same dose for 7 days when treating infections unless it's chronic infections, then you double the dose. It also says 1/4 cup for 600 gallons. Our pond is about 400 gallons and I used just under a quarter cup. Be prepared for the foaming but it does go away. We dosed in the evening and most of the bubbles were gone by morning each day. We have two streams with short falls running 24x7. Hope this helps.

You need to use muriatic acid. Can be purchased at a pool supply store or hardware store.

I've missed a few nights here and there and it's not obvious, but I'm still using my first container. The directions state to apply sparingly, you'll be surprised how long it will last.

run mine 5hours at a time 2xs a day. I have a 20x40 in-ground pool with 2 skimmers and 4 returns, so it took some time adjusting these elements until I got it right.

My tub is 140 gal. and 4 hours is good for me. the trick i found is you need to use a stabilizer or the chlorine will just burn off. i've had hot tubs for 20 years and this is the best thing ever. love it
