Pre pool opening (white water mold)

Yes. And you're good. Unscrew the two equipment unions (red) and the whole yellow thing comes off, if you ever need. It'll be a tad akward but at least it can be done.

 

[Badpoolmom]

Well that sounds easy
Good news is fc loss slowing
4:45 10
5:15 15.5
6:30 16
8:50 15

Apply pressure and lay down the law.

 

[Badpoolmom]

Captain must have “drop count fatigue”
I added at 8:50 pm fc tested at 15 added per pm 13 oz 10% lc
Tested 20 min later and had 14.5, 15, 14.5, 14.5 yes I tested 4 times because I’m not believing my eyes . Pump is on mid speed , is maybe mixing diff than most my other daily additions? Same jug used for last several additions

Do I just stick with 14.5 and test for loss in the morning or add again to get to 16, test in 20 min?

 

[Newdude]

Do I just stick with 14.5

Yes.

is maybe mixing diff than most my other daily additions?

Not likely if the conditions are the same. Remember the test is accurate to 1 drop. Last time it was one drop high, this time it's one drop low, and there's 2/3 of your difference. Take your choice if the other .5 is from not making 32 perfect drops, some crud got sanitized or the volume is a skootch off. Or all of the above.

 

[Badpoolmom]

Honestly I did not know the 1 drop diff . Fixated on 32 and only 32

I bought 10 cases of Lc today . It’s all I can to to restrain myself from pouring every single ounce in this #%** pool

 

[Badpoolmom]

Fail
Sticking with 14.5
oclt -1.5 (came up with 13 fc this am, 0.5 cc)

 

[Badpoolmom]

I think I might have just made a mistake . I thought this was wwm . Amd mayne it was silicone covering skimmer plate screws ?

 

[Badpoolmom]

But along with that was able to free all this and THIS is wwm . Does the front of this skimmer pop off or something where I can clean behind it ? I’m using a tooth brush and tooth pick right now

it looks like these tabs pop the faceplate off but I'm not sure how I feel about it with the water full.





Let's see what @Mdragger88 thinks. On one hand you don't have a liner to shift but I have no idea how well sealed the skimmer is.

 

[Mdragger88]

Can you get a better pic of the skimmer lid so we can identify what your exact skimmer is? Name & any numbers. I do agree that looks like a faceplate vanity cover.

 

[Badpoolmom]

Like this ?

 

[Mdragger88]

 

[Mdragger88]

That pops off

 

[Badpoolmom]

Thanks . Water level is fine or needs lowered

 

[Mdragger88]

Where were those screws installed? They look rusty so they should be removed from any contact with the water.

 

[Badpoolmom]

Also just called pb he says screws are stainless and the rusty look is a reaction with the coating or something . Do they need re siliconed?

 

[Mdragger88]

The water level should be at least 1/2 way up the skimmer mouth or a little higher (up to 3/4 of the way) for most effective skimming .
