Testing question

[kywildcats]

If you test after pump has been off several hours, and then test after running pump for 30 minutes, should your numbers be very much different??

Can you be more specific...what changed?

 

[kywildcats]

FC showed 2 with no prior circulation and 5 after running pump. Second time this has happened.

We always suggest testing after water has been circulated.

Example: Does your bath water cool off at the top faster than the bottom?

Thanks Woody!! So why does the OCLT work the way it does?

 

[woodyp]

Because you should be circulating all night when performing that test when doing the SLAM.

 

[kywildcats]

What if not during SLAM, just testing?? I thought I had all this, but I find myself second guessing myself.

I do a OCLT about once a month. I just leave my pump on for that night. It makes me happy so...

I added that one into my Pool Excel log file.
