Thanks for input. I'm going to go look at a replaster job tomorrow done by the low cost bidder. As for startup, only the low bid included. Everyone else was an additional 500. We tend to move every 5 years or less, so I don't see us here long term. That's why I have considered only...

Sorry. Meant to say didn't want to get sidetracked from the plaster question by talking algae My main question for now is what specifically look for in a contractor to repair pool. I like the thought of paying 4200 vs 7000. With that huge of a difference, I'm concerned about quality of low...

I can do the brushing on the other quotes. They charge 600 extra to do. But the lower price quote includes the chemicals and brushing.

Patience for a few more follow questions...For the 3rd morning, the OCLT was less than 1 ppm and CC were zero this morning and last night. Water is clear and no visible algae. So I stopped the SLAM process. This afternoon I put in the dolphin cleaner to pick up some leaves and also to see if...

Will do....for both comments

Okay, I added more bleach to bring back up to shock levels and brushed the sides and floor. Some followup questions: I have a couple leaves on bottom that I really don't want to hook up the vacuum so I thought about putting the dolphin in. Could the high chlorine levels damage dolphin for...

2nd morning of SLAM. Water clear and OCLT was 0.5ppm. Here are levels FC 21 ppm CC 0.5 ppm or less water crystal clear When I run brush along bottom of pool I still stir up some dust but it white/grey. It isn't as much as past couple weeks, but still there. Is this something to still be...

Thanks Dave. I had already sent email to address given on business card included in kit. I had a quick response and she said they would be sending out new test cylinder. Thanks for reply

Started SLAM last night. I took first sample 2 hours after I added bleach and first thing this morning before sun came out. I swept down sides and bottom of pool before adding and also last night after taking sample. 8PM FC: 27 ppm CC: <= 0.5 ppm 6:30AM FC: 27 ppm CC: <=0.5 ppm The pool...

I did test for CCs, it was zero. I'll report CC in future. I am going to start the SLAM process this evening after kids swim. I will do the CyA test in full sunlight to ensure I am picking the right FC target.

The sun was kind of to my side, so that the sample wouldn't be in my shadow. And I tried the test a few times. Dot edges barely visible at 70 ppm and completely gone at 55 ppm. I'll start the SLAM process this evening after giving kids a chance to swim..and giving my new whale brush time to...
