Question, if it's pollen why is it only on the sides and not on the floor? I'm thinking it's more of a circulation issue.

There's some pollen falling from the tree but it's more brown than yellow.

I was only gone for 4 days. Sorry, no pics since I brushed it off. The yellow spots were on the wall at the deep end almost at the floor and at the corner of the deep end swim out. There has been a lot of debris lately in the pool from neighbors tree but I have skimming the leaves out and the...

Hello all. I haven't had any issues during winter months with algae. Now as the pool temp has gone up, 81 degrees, I noticed a couple of yellow spots today. I have kept the FC at 10 to make sure algae didn't pop up. I went on a trip and brought it up to SLAM levels and today FC is at 18. I was...

I am having water leak from the crew cap off one of my spa jets. I took it off and inspected the cap and the gasket, looked fine. I exchanged the cap on the other jet and it still leaked so the cap was not the issue. Problem started a few weeks back and don't know what may have caused it. Any...

No, it gets sun but less now because of the season and arc of the sun. Water temp at 76, don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Brush once a week, Kreepy doesn't get there. The return lines are pointed away from the steps. Might have to brush more often as it might be poor circulation.

I did a SLAM about 2 months ago and have been letting chlorine levels taper off. This morning I was doing my daily ph and chlorine test, chlorine was dark yellow and noticed some yellow spots on the corner of the steps. I brushed it and came right off. I then did the DPD test and was at 12...

I use a SWG for my pool. It takes a bit at the beginning to narrow down SWG percentage and pump run time. Once I got that dialed in, the only time I add bleach is before and after heavy bather loads. I use the simple OTO test kit for chlorine and PH daily, but have skipped a day here and there...

Will do chemgeek. Will try in the morning at your suggestion and re post. Thank you much.

Holding it at waist level, same location inside the house with no lighting as always. Might add that after adding the chlorine last night the pump turned off as it was scheduled to do so. I will recheck tomorrow morning again before adding any CYA.

I had a large bather load yesterday. Before the swim, I brought FC from 8.5 to 9. I added another 25oz afterwards to raise it another 1ppm per pool math. This morning I noticed it was cloudy and smelled funny, don't know if was ammonia or not. FC was at 7.5. I just checked CYA and it was at 50...

Try turning off, then back on the main pool breaker.

Same issue as a lot of people. New pool owner with a new pool. All PB told us to check was FC and PH. I got a company to service my pool then noticed he was in and out in 5 minutes. I figured I could have a pool store test for free and save some money. Went in and over time got sold a bunch of...

If all manual test show lower results, see link below on how to reset the salinity. I had the same issue and worked for me. Jandy error code 145

I also learned a lesson the hard way. I had a drop splatter in my eye and ended up in the ER. Thanks God no permanent damage.

I was having no-flow issues with my SWG (under warranty) and the pool installers put in a Zodiac sensor indicator module, a 3x5 inch grey box beneath the control panel. Can anyone shed some knowledge on what exactly it's supposed to do? Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. Pool temp today reached 93, ready to make chicken soup lol. My pool gets full sun 12 hours a day. I will adjust the pump run time down and see how it goes.

Hey all, need some help figuring out how much ppm chlorine my SWG produces. I have it set at 40% for 18 hours a day, Jandy 1400 producing 1.25 pounds of chlorine in a 24 hour period. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just made a donation, glad to support as the forum has saved me lots of trips to the pool store and wasted money on products I don't need. Thanks to all for the wealth of knowledge and support.

Being a new pool owner that battled constant loss of chlorine, thank God I found this site. There's a lot of info on the forum that helped me get my pool back in shape and saved me tons of money by staying out of the pool stores. Heed the advice of the members, follow SLAM instructions and don't...

I ordered the borate test strips from tftestkits and test showed 15%. I want to add borax to my pool as recommended in other posts, 30-50. Does the baking soda add borax? If not, why did test show borates?

We have the same SWG and Jandy pumps are similar. You might have to bump up the RPMs, I have mine set at 1800, and also bump up the percentage on the SWG. I called Jandy for tech advice and their is no set RPM and SWG percentage run times. If your water is clear, get CYA up a bit and play with...

Thanks for the response. I got in the pool and brushed the heck out of them.Guess it helped, passed the OCLT this morning, FC held at 30 and CC 0. The SWG is off now until FC levels off, just checked FC 25. So I lost 5 PPM in this South Florida heat and sun. Question though, I will test twice...

The steps are part of the pool, not stairs you can take out.

Getting frustrated. Pool has remained clear and have maintained CC .5 but haven't passed the overnight test. I noticed the steps at the lower entrance were a little slimy on the corners and brushed them. I have been brushing once sometimes twice a day since starting SLAM. Between the steps being...

Took off the light fixture and cleaned around it today, didn't notice any algae. I took a look at the plastic hand held on my sheer descent and saw algae behind the silicone holding it to the plaster. I took them off and scrubbed the wall to get rid of any residue. Been SLAMming since Wednesday...

After 4 hours, lost 4ppm FC. From 31-27 and added bleach according to calculator. Is 4ppm loss common, SWG off?
