Thanks. Will look for one near by. Was also thinking of a water purification/supply company as well.

Thanks Mark! Looking to follow in your footsteps on this design, but finding parts in Canada is proving to be an issue. May have no choice but to order from USPlastics and pay the duty....

After reading the excellent thread started by Mark (@mas985) ("]Homemade Acid OR Chlorine Injection System), I've decided to embark on my own take on this. If its successful, I plan on making a post or updating the original (its been quite since end of last year so may want to consider it...

Worked like a charm! Thanks Jim!!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will take a look tomorrow. I appreciate the help from all!

To answer the other question I'll have to pull the switches and check for hot and travellers. Without doing that I'd guess that only one has the hot and the other has the load. - - - Updated - - - That's kind of the answer I was hoping for ?

Wish I was more technical! These are just landscape lights. As far as I can tell it's all correct in that each switch operates independently of the other's position (which is all I've been able to find for common wiring problems). The wiring is about 15 years old and I only noticed this after...

Basically my 3-way is working like an xnor gate when I'd like it to be a xor gate. If both switches are on or off the light is on. If they are opposite the lights are off. Other than flipping a switch upside down, can this be fixed? It's a minor annoyance for some lighting around my pool deck...

Is it normal to open to a green pool? I'm in Ontario and, while only having the pool 4 seasons, it's always been crystal clear when I open. We close around mid October and open mid may. My neighbor one year opened to green water but they waited much longer, first week of June to open. He has...

Not to hijack, but where'd you get that spreadsheet? Seems pretty slick! Combine that with the brains behind pool math and I'm sure most would be using it to track, I know I would! Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

Pooldv - thanks. What if I know there are no swimmers for a few days or week? Does it still need to be above minimum or just above zero?

Hi all, Since successfully completing my first slam a while back (MANY, MANY thanks Needsajet), i have some questions around minimum FC. Sorry if i choose the wrong forum section... 1. For my CYA (60), FC chart says minimum is 5ppm, target 7ppm. Does this mean that when it drops below 5 i...

Picture isn't a greatest. I really should buy a new phone. Water is crystal clear and doing well! It's been extra hot and sunny here. Going through 4ppm in a 24 hour period. Trying to keep FC around 9-10 to be safe. All summer I was planning onbuilding a rPi based water tester, but am now...

Ok, so here is what this SLAM came down to.... Time: Started PM on Monday July 25th ended AM on Monday August 1st (6.5 days) Expenses: 1. 60ML R-0871-C reagent - $ 45.14 2. Muriatic acid (1.5L used of 4L, plus gloves and a glass measuring cup for applications) - $28.22 3. approx. 70L of...

Passed OCLT! Loss of. 5 with. 5cc Will summarize what and how long it took to complete Needsajet-we may be close on our bet! Off the top of my head it took 70L (give or take 5).

With the anonymity of most web forums, you don't really feel the sense of community. Having been reading many threads on here since 2013 and posting only a few topics, it's amazing how welcomed I've felt and how honestly helpful and concerned the responses have been. I've really felt that...

Thanks. Makes me feel much better knowing that new info. I going to have to go and enjoy the outdoors today. Thanks again. Hope you've had a great weekend

So, anything to worry about that there's still "something" being attacked by the FC? Today and tomorrow are gonna be beautiful. I actually wasn't able to get to adding chlorine yesterday. Got busy with not being home. It's at 12ppm this morning. I didn't add last night. Will add a little to...

What would be special about 12ppm? Lost another 2-2.5ppm overnight. Water is clear but I can see some dead algae on the floor

Looks like you might be winning me over. Doesn't help the weather is junk right now :(

Thanks Bruce. I understand. My logic is that it's a long weekend here and while I understand the pool is safe at SLAM, the wife and friends may be worried about it too high. Could be a few toddlers running around. Does that have any soundness to the thinking?

My heart sank! Water is super clear. Tested for fc First result: 16.5 What the? Second result: 18 Darn it! So I lost 2-2.5ppm from 9pmto7:30am. Not sure why the variance in the two tests and maybe it was too dark and I was too sleepy for the test last night Gah! So close! Guess I'll watch it...

Fingers crossed for my oclt! Was 20.5ppm at 9:15pm Pool is looking fantastic. Almost nothing when brushing Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

BobbyR - thanks! Just found them yesterday as I needed DE. Just fyi CanadianTire has their 5L 10.5% jugs on sale for 3.99 (reg 4.99). A little more expensive than pioneer but probably closer to a lot more people.

Thanks again for all the guidance and encouragement! This is the reason I refer other pool owners to this site. I'll probably let the FC drop over the weekend. Might have some toddlers coming over so their parents may be nervous about high chlorine levels. I believe my range is 5-9 for my cya...

Pool is coming along! Water is more colourless now and clearer :) Pool math says Fc would have been 26-26.5 based on my test and chloring add last night. This morining Fc was 25.5. (I know, not a true oclt without having tested 30+ mins after last Chem add). Plans would be to do the true oclt...

Backwashed and put in 1 1/3 cups DE. Probably could have done more for a full 1psi increase, but it's my first time so playing cautious. Fc 20 Added 5L chlorine Brushed again Fingers crossed for the morning! Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

Dare I ask about a pool store clarifier? Just incase I can't find any DE?

Sounds good. Will have someone add half a 5L jug around lunch. Here are today's photos.in the middle photo, you see what I mean. Main drains not clear. Last photo is from beside the ladder

Morning y'all Just tested, Fc is 26 Cc is 0.5 Not sure that makes sense. Last night Fc was 19.5 so I added 5L of 10% which should have given me 26 (my best guess is pool is between 77kL and 80kL). So I didn't lose anything (ie 0) of FC overnight? I didn't retest after adding, maybe I should...
