So we bought a house that had a pool. One of the first things I noticed as both jets in the shallow end instead of opposing ends. What I notice is that my skimmer is pointless! Because there's no jet on the deep end to direct water into it I can drop leaves on the surface 3" from the opening of...

Thank you for your help! Ill get to that SLAM right away.:D

Ok. Well we have no pets, maybe three or four swim for an hour a day (total), and it gets direct sun from 10 am to 5 pm., and no leaves. All evergreen, unless a storm blows the neighbors leaves over to our yard. So all said and done I assume it will be markedly less than we have been.

Also so I know, what is reasonable to expect to put in CL per day? Obviously the pool co is saying we will never control Cl levels using liquid, we must use tabs to control it.

Ok so I understand. I should bring my levels up to 20, and hold it there until at that level it doesn't lose more than 1 on the OCLT?

OCLT of 4 - - - Updated - - - However again the SLAM didn't help. - - - Updated - - - I just read on your link though (because I did a OCLT just for my own interest) it said keep slamming?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. For a while now I have been fighting my chlorine levels. Just to set the stage here are my current levels as I type. CL 1-2 CYA 45 PH 7.5 Calcium 175 Free CL 1 Tot Alk 120 My pool based on the pool calculator is a 22000 gal. vinyl lined...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm for sure going to look into better jets. I assume these are somewhere between 3/4" to 1"? An update as well, the pool company that opened the darn thing never opened the skimmer lines either. So it was drawing from the floor intake only. That has helped opening...

Yes, I do have them pointed to get a circular motion, however the one eyeballs greatest angle, at best, 45°s across the pool. As well, with that distance the water retards the jets power so that about halfway there's very little noticeable movement. Ian contemplating doing a dye test to see if...

I've been looking around and can't find anyone who has this issue. I just bought a house in January where the former owner would appear to have had had a disorder of the mental kind with all the unbelievable nonsensical issues that we have found in the house. That's another story though. The...
