Thanks everyone for the replies. I figured that was probably normal just wasn't 100% sure. I'll just go with it. I have been trying to keep the FC at 6ppm and just realized the target was 4.5 - 5 for my CYA level. Thanks again.

Hello I have been losing about 3ppm of chlorine each day for the past week. My pool is an above ground 13,500 gallons using the BBB method. It gets direct sunlight pretty much all daylight hours. It may get partial shade the last hour or two of daylight. It has been in the upper 80's this past...

Well I check the FC level everyday, but while I'm at work for 24 hours I'll adjust it the night before I go to work and can't check it until two days later. For instance I brought the FC up to 5 on Saturday night and this morning(Monday) when I got home from work the FC was down to 3 so I...

I thought that they were where they are supposed to be just wanted someone elses opinion. I appreciate all the help and the information that is on here. I can't stand the pool stores now knowing what I've learned from here, and seeing people just wasting a ton of money compared to what I am...

This has been our first season using the BBB method and I was just wondering if these numbers looked good. I am using one of the Leslie's branded Taylor test kits. I think I've finally turned the pool around. About two weeks ago I posted about transforming from green swamp and having clear but...

I didn't know that. I've always run it on high when trying to clear it up. I appreciate the advice. As far as the size of the filter, that's just what came with it. It'll have to do for right now. But thanks again for the tips. And I'll be starting the shock process again as soon as I get home...

Here are some pictures to give an idea of what I'm dealing with. I can see the bottom step of the ladder but that is all I can see of the bottom of the pool. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Hello I opened my pool about a month ago so it would be ready when nice weather hit. The past two years we had run the Perma Salt system and I noticed that towards the end of the season last year I started having some green algae show up. I have been wanting to take the Perma Salt system off...

Oh I definately agree with all of you. Until I can talk the wife into discontinuing use of the Perma-Salt, do I just need to start adding bleach until I start having some residual? I want to get the test kit, but until I get her on board I'm not going to be able to order it.

Yes when I started getting concerned was when I used the search function and started reading about the Perma-Salt system. But I get what you are saying about shock. I am using Pro Team Zip Chlor which is Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione 97%. I add one pound per week or after heavy rain or heavy...

Hello everyone I just found this site, and I could be on here for hours. My wife got talked into the Perma-Salt system from Backyard Leisure when we bought our pool from them last May. We were told that all we needed to do was add a bag of salt, get our PH, Alkalinity, and Calcium right. Adjust...
