I came home from vacation and had algea 😢 So i scrubbed and added too much liquid chlorine. (2 gallons)! 3 days later and my FC is 20 and my CYA is 70. (PH is 7.6) It has been dropping each day. Can i swim today? Thanks 😊

I've often wondered if I could leave it uncovered... Outside of snow adding to the water line? The cover is a PITA. I have no trees to worry about.

Mine looked like that last year. Had holes in cover it looked like a swap. I have a DE filter and I needed to open that and clean my fingers about 4 times they were getting clogged up from the gunk. That and follow the SLAM PROCESS in here. Make sure you get a good test kit. It took me...

Yeah we're in the mid 80's in Pittsburgh. I'm hoping to close in the next week or 2. Still trying to find a good quality winter cover. I feel like I end up buying a new one every year...ugh

I have a large bucket that is several years old. I have been using them since we were away a few times over the weekends and my CYA was low. They've been doing fine. I'll probably just continue until I close this season...

I pour mine in the pool at the return jet. I doubt that causes your loss though?

Mine is not bolted.

Looks like 8.7-13.6

I'm noticing that they do not dissolve that quickly...hmmm

My guess is no. I'm actually using them now since I've been gong away on weekends. My CYA is low and I need to raise it. I'll see how long this takes...

Richard is spot on, vacuum to waste is how I'd get rid of water quickly. Have fun, it'll go fast.

I just bought a Taylor kit on Amazon. Would have bought the TF-100 if it were available...

I had the TF100 but just ordered the Taylor one because it was on Amazon...

I'm in the same boat as you!

I assumed it was after the sun went down and before it hit the pool again. Overnight Chlorine Loss Test.
