Crystal Clear Pool Water, the secret that pool stores don't want you to know!! FIX THIS FIRST... 

Watch your ph as well

Calcium hardness is important for keeping the pool surface in good shape, stabilizer is helpful to keep chlorine in pool longer…

No, not correct. You also need algaecide and stabilizer, and other chemicals depending on if you have a concrete pool.

Well you don’t know much about pools

@@billhenry7833you don’t know what your talking about

I work for hammer arms and approve this comment.

😂 good one

Except the aluminum in the product is not good!

visit my channel so i can have a pool 😄

Glad it helped!

@josephlamadrid1799 My local pool supply & service did the same thing to me when I was new to pool ownership. I left there with a pool pharmacy of stuff and instructions for what, when and how much, but never these 2 at the same time, yadda yadda. Come back in a week with a lab sample. Lol. Which I did, and left another hundred bucks lighter with some new prescriptons and some dosage changes to the old ones. A co-worker who was an experienced pool owner told me this: After about 3 years, pool water gets tired and can't suspend everything very well. When it gets to where u can't correct one thing without messing up another: Drain and Refill your pool. Fresh new water, just like when it was new. A couple hundred $ on your water bill but so what? You're good for at least another 3 years. . . OR, if you'd like, you can spend the same $200 and more on chemicals running back n forth to the pool place, AND spend all your time dicking with your pool instead of enjoying it. 👏👍

I agree 100 percent , Leslie and just about any other pool place always looking to pull our wallet out

That is awesome!

Very happy to hear it helped you!

I appreciate that!

check out the advantages of adding Borax to your pool.

Glad it helped!

It’s the same price.

What’s your stabilizer? Hope it’s not above 100… from the tabs.

Put it in your Net? Where is that?

​@@amypletcher4411you dont have a hand helf pool net to clean your pool?

​@amypletcher4411 😂 he meant put the baking soda in the pool net 😂😂😂😂to distribute it so it doesn't lay on the pool floor

why not just brush it? or just add it slowly in front of ur return.

You're right, they don't have to come fix what you thought was supposed to be the dosage because they sold you stuff you had no idea what it's purpose was. I'm a pool pro and balanced is your key word and keeping it that way.

If I only need to raise chlorine and pH level. Can I use a baking soda for the pH to kick it up?

Glad you liked it

technically shock will not work unless your alkalinity and PH are in range

Umm what is shocking the pool mean

​@@pammiestewart1419means putting in lots of chlorine to shock the water after heavy use like a pool party.

You are so welcome!

once you have alkalinity correct, it remains the same unless you get alot of rain.....

@@dogsarefun2 Thanks, we were on the threshold of a drought declaration, but lately we have a lot of rain that I cannot keep the swimming pool clear. Besides the rain the heat and humidity envelopes you as soon as you step outside.

Well, I looked at swimming pool and the water was yellowish/greenish - most likely the dead algae. We have had a lot of rain and when it isn't raining it is HOT and HUMID! I might have to try vacuum the swimming pool again, but that is a real challenge because I do not have skimmer vacuum plate - I just shoved the hose down the pipe. I did my first vacuum in nearly 5 years a couple of weeks ago. I removed the equipment that has been stowed in the cedar chest for a couple of years. The suction head may be salvageable if I can get replacement wheels and bearings, but that will be a pain. The swimming pool vacuum hoses are mostly intact, the swimming pool vacuum cannister - Wesson - appeared intact and without any cracks in the plastic housing. I used a suction head that is basically a triangular brush with maybe 30-feet of good vacuum hose line. I had a successful first vacuum with old equipment that I pieced together. Early this evening I did my usual swimming pool cleaning method: Step 0; Rinse the pool deck free of debris Step 1; Checked and emptied the skimmer basket free of debris and leaves Step 2; Brushed the floor and walls of the swimming pool Step 3; Checked the Chlorinating Tablet Floater it has tablets Step 4; Performed a full cycle cleaning of the swimming pool plumbing system; backwash, rinse and return to filtration Step 5; Added water to the swimming pool to account for the backwash and evaporation Usually I am just adding shock and liquid chlorine at different times on different days. In the past when the pool has gotten to this condition it usually tested to add approximately 20lbs to 35lbs of calcium Step 6; Added eight ounces-(8-oz) of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to balance the swimming pool ie., clear up the water by lowering the alkalinity or raising the ph - I am eyeballing it because I have not tested the swimming pool in months!

@@PappyNet01 get test strips, get alkalinity correct.... not knowing size of your pool... I use a floater chorine dispenser and keep it full with the hockey puck size tablets.... Clorox Pool & Spa Green Algae Eliminator2 to keep it clear free of algae... the copper in this product kills any algae and will prevent it from starting.

What should i do for stains on the bottom

You think a small filter pump for a 15 foot circle Intex pool can handle a small pool fountain?

😂

Do NOT watch this video

so glad I could help!!

It's been a big issue this year. A lot of my pools got hit with mustard algae even though their levels are in optimum range.

Yes, you need to get some algicide in the water and vacuum the bottom. My tips are for keeping clearing up cloudy or green water and keeping it that way. Good luck!

You might want to keep an eye on your hardness too because if your water is to "scaling" it will shorten the lifespan of your electrode. Hardness/Alkalinity to low it will erode the pool surface, basically trying to find neutral by extracting the calcium from the pools surface. (This is all referencing concrete pools)

Or brush the pool after as you are supposed to after adding granular shock.

You're welcome!

Glad I could help

Thanks for sharing!

Good luck with your pools surface over time then. Baking soda isn't the only chemical your pool will ever need.

@@nighthawk_predator1877 Out of work pool guy I’m guessing? I only use outlet store bleach and baking soda. Pool is consistently testing just right too.

Doesn't baking soda raise pH? I can't keep mine down. 😢
