You could also try white vinegar. I have used it to remove rust stains from concrete. Use a brush to scrub it with the vinegar.

That's interesting. I have never had that happen before. Hopefully someone has.

I have the same SWG. It could be the cell starting to fail. I have the same error sometimes but it is always when I first start it either if I have had a lot of rain or if the temperature was cold overnight. If I wait a minute or two the error goes away. I assume it just needs time for the water...

I have the same swg as you and when that happens on mine it is always the flow switch. If you take the flow switch off the two plastic pieces that hold the switch to move in the water may be broken or atleast one. I have gone through three of these switches in five years. Now I just put...

I used something similar this year for moles and it worked. Have to reapply about every two months though.

Passed the OCLT last night finally! Just needed some patience at the end of the SLAM. Thank you for all the assistance in getting my pool back to crystal clear water.

Thanks Casey!! I just realized you already answered my question. Targeting 22 ppm based on new CYA value. I have seen quite a bit of progress today.

Teenage eyes found the cya to be 45. Oops. From now on I will have someone else verify what I think I find. So based upon that level is it okay to target 22 ppm when I add bleach or do you think I should shoot for 20 ppm? I have been doing 22 ppm but I don't want to mess up my liner. Thank you...

Actually I hate the CYA test and always get different results when doing it. I have watched the online video for it and also follow the directions about back to the sun and waist level. I always think I still see the black dot. I am going to have another family member test this once they wake up...

Just wanted to say thank you for the advice. :) I have been keeping the FC at mustard level today because when I checked my pool this morning I had what appeared to be new algae growth in several spots. The FC this morning when I checked at 7:45am was 19, with less than .5 cc. It was quite...

I honestly was just not sure of how often I was going to be able to test so I thought that was a good level without knowing how quickly it would drop if that makes sense. Did I do something wrong? I thought you never ever want to go below slam level.

Hi, I am a long time lurker who has never had a problem for the last four years using suggestions on this forum. This year I need some help. I was getting algae recently on the bottom of my pool. Pool water was always very clear. I realized that I needed to slam so I ordered the Taylor K-2006...
