That's what I did a few years ago when I replaced my polaris. No problems.

Thanks for your reply!

Thank you. I may try the strap before I invest $$$. Still undecided.

We like our pool water to be warm so we use a solar cover. I'm the one who uses the pool the most and each year it's becoming more of a pita to use our solar cover. We need to replace our vinyl liner and redo the patio, but that's another story. I am looking into automatic solar cover reels...

Yesterday I checked chlorine. FC was 16, cc 16 at 6:00 & 7:40pm. This morning it was the same at 8am, with no signs of any algae. I brushed parts to see if any dead algae was there and it was clean. Should I maintain shock level today to make sure all is good? Can I use my Dolphin auto...

I just checked the FC and CC. FC & TC are 12. I will bring the chlorine up to 16, shock level for cya40. How do I know when I’m done with slamming? This morning there was only dead algae. Right now the water looks good, clear and no algae.

I started my slam, even though my pool was crystal clear because it had some spots of algae. After vacuuming, my cc was 0. I plan to check it again in a few hours, and if my cc doesn’t go above .5, do the overnight test. Am I correct or should I bring the chlorine up to shock level again?

Thanks. Will do but need to wait until Friday. (I noticed my last thread should say threw out. Hate when I do that.) I also noticed you are from Glassboro. My son goes to Rowan University. Thanks again. Have a safe and happy July 4th

I probably kept it at 12 for a day. In the morning it was lower by .5 or 1. I through out the papers that had the numbers, but I remember I was not losing too much chlorine.

I use a solar cover and this morning after rolling it up, there were areas of algae, mostly where the sides meet the floor. I check chemicals daily and keep my pool clean. I also brush the walls from time to time. This has been happening on and off this season. Looking at the pool I knew the...

Thank you!:cool:

Thanks. I will go outside for my next test. When I pour the mixed solution from the skinny view tube back to the mixing bottle to repeat the test, should I empty the remaining solution in the mixing bottle first, or just add the mixed solution?

How do I know if I'm testing the CYA correctly? Does the black dot have to totally disappear? Do you kind of see it (because you know it's there)? If I hold the tester tube over something white it seems to disappear with less water/R-0013 then if non white service is below tube, etc. I use the...

Do you turn the jets down?

I have the triton plus. I got it last summer. I'm not an expert by any means but I think I noticed that the handle can be in more than 1 position. Try adjusting it. I think in 1 position it didn't go up to the water line and after moving it it did. After I turn on the power, I use the remote...

Interesting. The pucks are new this year. Purchased from a place we never used before. We will definitely check it out. Thanks for the info. - - - Updated - - - Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the good news. I thought the FC should not be above 8 with CYA of 70. We did have a lot of rain on Friday /Saturday overnight. Maybe I didn't test it correctly yesterday. But the water is crystal clear. I don't plan on using pucks with the high CYA. - - - Updated - - - We did...

My Taylor kit is TF - 100. I use pucks or liquid chlorine, depending on the CYA. Just tested and the FC came down to 17, CYA is 70, TA is 100, PH is low @ 7.2. Since I don't want to add sodium thiosulfate, I guess I need to be patient. UGH!

My pool is 33,000 gallons, vinyl liner, 20 X 40. The water looks great but after testing the water with my taylor tester, the chlorine test was orange - off the chart. When I tested the chlorine with 087 powder, it was 25. The pool store said the FC was 10 - which makes sense (that the...

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a Dolphin Triton Plus. I'm hoping I will love it.

The pump which was replaced approximately 3 years ago died. It was for our older Polaris 380 (many parts have been replaced over time). We can buy a new booster pump for around $280 or invest in a robotic cleaner. I was leaning towards a Dolphin Nautilus Plus, and a caddy. I am open to...
