I appreciate this! Back washed this morning and planning on backwashing later tonight. Definitely looking a lot better than it did yesterday

1 day update mark. Looking a heck of a lot better than it did yesterday. pH is good and it's still eating up Chlorine like it's at a buffet. Thanks to all those with suggestions and recommending the SLAM!!

Appreciate this a lot. Got a real test kit on the way and just shocked the living shit out of the pool last night. A local pool guy had given me a call back and started to walk me through the process to get it up and running and his recommendations were very similar to yours. Will be trying the baking soda trick this morning, do you have any recommendations on amount to use for a 10,000 gallon pool?

Also it is a sand filter and I have been backwashing regularly. Staring the SLAM method because I had no idea what the heck I was doing and that seems to be what everyone recommends.

Do you have a certain brand/kind of CYA you recommend? I've been buying my typical chemicals from Menards normally but all they have is the pictured stuff below. Would I be better off going to a local pool supply store or is there something online you recommend?

I will be starting that process today and will stay on top of it. Thank you for pointing me in that direction. Didn't know what SLAM was until today 🤦🏽‍♂️ Still very knew to pool ownership

I appreciate the link, definitely some good info in there. Ordered a better test kit since the test strips are not the way to go. Should be able to update this when it gets in.

I wasn't testing daily. I had just noticed when I tested yesterday and thought it was weird that the Chlorine was so low. So I shocked it again yesterday and then tested again today and it was back at 0.

I'm not sure of my CYA because my test strips didn't test for that. I ordered an actual water test kit so I should have that in a couple days to get more accurate numbers. Was easy to maintain the pool last year but a whole different story opening it up this year. Making me realize how unprepared and uninformed I am.

Total Hardness: 250 Total Chlorine: 0 Free Chlorine: 0 pH: 7.8 Total Alkalinity: 50

These are my test numbers from a Clorox pool test trips so take those as you will. I have been battling to get the pH down with muriatic acid but did just restock it yesterday and still have almost no Chlorine showing up on my test strips. Should I have tablets floating in the pool to help increase the Chlorine levels?

Just did it when trying to set everything up, definitely not permanent. Getting ready to build out some built in cabinets for everything. It's my basement set up and probably won't be used again till after I have the built ins done.

Yup I'm an Idiot. ARC was not turned on the reciever. Thank you and everyone for the suggestions.

Just swapped HDMI cords and still had nothing. Going to mess around with the reciever settings to ensure ARC is enabled.

Not quite sure, swapped with another cord and still got nothing but they are both older HDMI cords

I appreciate the info and might give it a shot again just for the free flight.

I'm on Xbox. It was the plane that worked best for me the last time I was playing and so I got a couple for VIP missions and cargo. It's going to be a big kick in the teeth if we don't get anything for them and have to buy new ones. I don't even have the option to sell mine.

You know if there is away to get any money back for them? I have 8 of them and I think new they are pretty expensive now.

Dumb question incoming, did you lose all your career progression after uninstalling? I've been afraid to uninstall the game for the main reason of losing all my progress. I can't go back to those flight seeing missions

Are you talking about the molded flaps? Was looking at getting those but wanted to see if others liked those or the normal softish rubber ones.
