You test result of CC - 3 indicates you still need to be SLAMing. I think you want to complete you SLAM before dealing with the staining.

If you lost 1 ppm I would keep it up one more day likely try to get it close to 0. Mustard algea suck I tried 2 years before I finally unnderstood how tough it is and made sure I followed throiugh until at Mustard slam level It passed each of the 3 criteria perfectly not just withing...

This is normal for mustard algea the regular slam level will not be affected by it so you will pass the regular onclt but once you raise to mustard levels it gets used so keep at it this is tgeonly way to get it all

for you to loose 4.5 you have to be killing something. Keep at it. make sure any non-human/ animal objects that will be going in the pool are put in while it as at the mustard levels. Solar covers floats toys hoses lights dive sticks snorkles gogles you name it, get it in there or do a seperate...

Re: How aggressive is mustard algae Try the onclt at shock level or higher that how I dignosed my mustard a few years back something about it be more resistant at lower fc levels it doesn't consume the fc

no need to worry about the CC but a FC of 1 is low you need to refer to the CYA/ chlorine chart to ensure you don't fall below the min. recommended level as being below can allow something to start to grow which might require you to SLAM your pool

Op states clear Being over 2 ppm isn't to far off with testing error water level flucuation chlorine strength flucuation just moniter and adjust future additions

Start at 40. Once you get a good grasp of how it is using fc then you can bump it up but never let fc drop below the level on the cya fc chart The cover will cut fc loss dramatically by blocking sun and keeping stuff out of pool

What are you using to test with?

I built a large rack from 3/4 inch pvc covered it with plastic fencing and Hung it of the deck railing it is 5' wide 2 ' high and 6' deep hold 3 long rafts 4 toddler floats 2 medium inner tubes, 3 beach balls and upwards of 10 noodles.

If I am not mistaken before you add borates you should make sure your TA is in range as once you add borates it is harder to adjust TA

Re: Green water continues, new filter installed and chemical Don't worry about the filter until you kill the algea. A filter does nothing to kill anything I would trust your judgement that it is fine. Lower your cya, keep fc at shock level adding chlorine as often as possible hourly is best...

Extremely high FC already? Try more powder to trst

Slow down. We dont recommend changing to many things to quick. There is a recommended order in what should be fixed first. I cant remember off the top of my head but pretty certain CYA is first. Since that will require a patial drain and fill soime of that calcium you just added might be...

Post up your full numbers for better help. If you are Going with 10 Fc lossing 5 fc per day would be about right for 45 cya. Might be good to raise it to 60 to see if that helps. I would do an overnight chlorine loss test before raising it just to be certain nothing is it your water which would...

need to be adding chlorine as often as possible every hour at first is best. The longer between additions the longer the process. The leaves etc shouldnt effect ONCLT that much

Basically worthless since it says the recommended FC level is 1-4 for a CYA of 300 so it doesnt take the CYC FC relationship.

Re: New to the Fourm ! But have a major issue with my pool Could be a break in the line running from main drain to pump at the height of the water level. Might have to dig to find and fic

I would hire Chem Geek and purchase any equipment he wants! Pay him what ever he wants since money isnt an issue

What is your CYA?? That helps to understand how much FC you will need per day. At a current FC of 2.5 I hope you don't have above 30 CYA or you might have something growing in you pool cause excess FC usage

Wait before you add more cya yer I recall even if disolved it can take several days to register on test

I would go with more pool. Only reason not to is if this area is your lounge/ sitting entertaining area if you have that else where go with more pool

If your family is one that true loves to swim pool used 3 or more times per week in season I would say it is worth it. I would suggest getting a solar cover before the 5th because if it gets windy and cold it will take a lot of gas to get and maintain the temp with solar cover iwould make it a...

Altoona pa Without plastic in should be snow safe Could have went with 3/4 or 1 inch conduit to be snow safe with a heavier plastic I did see in my research a calculator for the effect of snow on domes to use to figure what size pipe to use to make it snow safe to bad building it to that level...

Ok rough numbers are in Used 16 mcf natural gas Turned heater on on wednesday temp was 50 deg Temp reached 92 deg Friday night So useing some false assumption ( no heat loss during heating etc) math show I would have used 5.5 mcf to get 42 deg of heat rise To maintain that from Friday thru...

Fog was thick at times had to closely moniter swimmers but not so bad that we were more concerned then normal night swim

Once the water was at temp the heater cycled about as much as it did at end of normal swim season I haven't got to check meter yet to see full usage We had some gust but didn't feel any inside dome I left solar cover on while it was on no fog/steam within minutes of removing it would fill with...

updated photos showing drying tent and door way to pool. Water temp 92 air inside dome 65 drying tent 50 Outside temp 35 wind 5 to 10 mph Only heat sorce is pool heater no sun today This has worked as well if not better then I had hoped
