    Crisis Averted, not.

    SLAM completed. 3 full days, 4 nights. 28 ppm LC / CYA was at 70. Passed all three completion criteria on Wednesday. I had to keep telling myself to be patient and stick to the process and it paid off. 😎

    **Update** Started SLAM. Good morning TFP family. We have green algae. We’ve had a lot of rain and I let our chlorine level slip too low, less than 1%. Immediately attacked it with increased chlorine levels, backwashing, brushing. we run our pump 24/7, and the Dolphin about 9 hours a day all...

    Insects?

    Thanks for the speedy reply. Do they ever go away, are they perhaps seasonal? I’m in Georgia and it is most always humid here. I’ll do the research now that you’ve identified the little pests for me.

    Insects?

    we thought these were grass seeds. Our pool is in a pasture setting. Upon closer inspection they appear to be insects, full grown and smaller. Can anyone identify a solution. Constant skimming hasn’t really helped. 😢 grass I could swim with but these things are creeping me out now.

    Replacing main drain cutoff

    Thank you New Dude! We’re definitely BELOW the water level with our gear, it would be more like a geyser than a shower, lol.

    Replacing main drain cutoff

    Hello all! main drain valve handle broken, can this be replaced or is it just too much of hassle? Someone told me the pool might need to be drained to replace it? We were using a pipe wrench to turn it on and off. Currently we’ve just left it on. Our pool is not winterized.
