Thank you Richard!

Hi, I just had some cracks repaired in my pool. The pool was emptied out and refilled. Here are some of the numbers - FC- 0 CC- 0 TA - 70 CH - 120 PH - 8.0 - 8.2 Salt - didn't test (assuming almost 0) CYA - didn't test (assuming almost 0) I know I need to add salt and calcium. Do I...

Yes it leaks below the skimmer. The guy did a pressure test and the pipes are fine. A dye test was done on a couple of cracks and they are leaking. The 2 cracks were partially puttied but it is still leaking. He said that there is weak point in the wall and will need to be punched out and...

I'll be on vacation for 11 days. And the issue is that my pool has a leak(it was being worked on but the pool repair guy has been slow). It drops by a 1/4" - 1/2" a day. I built an auto water filler with a trough o matic device - using pvc piping - something like this...

I did the overnight test and it failed. The FC last night was 17 - 17.5. This morning it was 6.5 and CC was 1.0 - 1.5. BTW the CYA yesterday afternoon seemed to be around 40. I think the trichlor pucks I had in there caused that increase. I removed those pucks. I have some things to do today and...

OK I added a little bit over 2 bottles of 8.25 bleach. How soon after should I check FC and CC? And Should I check once an hour? Do I add the same amount every hour or just enough to get back FC over shock? And when you mention brushing do you mean the curved brush with a very long handle? So I...

Thanks. I don't live on the property yet. Will be moving-in in 2 weeks. It's 30 minutes away from where I live and work. I just got to the pool and here are the results: FC: 0.5 CC: 0.5 - 1.0 With a 30 CYA I thought there would be more FC. 1. It's been raining on and off today. Should I...

Thanks. During SLAM does the FC need to be at shock level constantly? It can't dip below shock level until all 3 conditions are met? That could potentially be a lot of bottles of bleach!

Here are my readings before the Slam(yesterday afternoon): Salt: 3200 FC: 0.2 Cc: 0.4 Ph: 7.7 TA: 80-90 CH: 220 CYA: 30 - 35 After/during slam: FC 13.5 CC: 1.0 - 1.5 1. My CC was below 0.5 before the slam so maybe I didn't need to slam? 2. My TA is a little high. Should I add acid and aerate...

Disregard the previous question, I just read about running the 24/7 pump during slam.

If I slam now, do I need to run the pump all night long?

Should I run the SWG during the slam? My Kreepy krawler stopped working after opening the main drain. It's still not working after I closed off the main drain. Any ideas to resolve this issue? Do I need the main drain closed if I have a kreepy krawler? Thanks

Thanks. Finally got to the pool. The salt is now 3200 ppm! The puck is no longer in the skimmer - I'm only using the floater. FC is only 0.2. I added 1 gallon of liquid CYA. Half into skimmers and half into the pool and brushed it. 1. How long do I need to wait before testing CYA...

Thanks for the help! I redid the chlorine FAS-DPD the way you recommended and here are my results- 0.2 FC 1.0 - 1.2 CC I went ahead and threw some shock in last night and currently running the pump. I also drained the pool 1/4 to 1/3 and filled it up again. I will take a salt reading later...
