I hear the pump bearings, too. You may well have an air leak as well but I think you need to deal with the bearings first.
So just tested. First time testing since starting to fun the SWG. FC actually went down to 4.5. I have been running the SWG 12 hrs a day the last two days at 50% output clearly that's not enough.Yup, it is linked to your profile and the button shows...

I never need to add liquid chlorine to my pool if my SWG is working correctly.
But I run my pump and SWG 24/7 to always add some chlorine to the pool.
Rain has little effect on the water chemistry of your FC level as long as your pump is running. The dilution is minimal unless your pool overflows out a drain.
If your pump is not running during the rain, you should not do any testing until it runs for a few hours and mixes the water well.
BTW, your CYA is 80, not 75. We always round up.
Thanks for the answers. What is an MPV? Is that the valve? It's running at 28. I hit the grids with a hose today while in the filter and top off and thought that would do the trick. Not sure what else I can do. I loathe taking the grids out but sounds like I need to.
Please don’t ever trust ChatGPT with pool advice. It gets all its data from the Internet.Good to know. ChatGPT says it will be safe my next Monday/Tues given all the variables. Not great swimming weather in the 10 day forecast anyway.
My favorite part is spending vicariously on their builds. Spending in person SUCKED.I love living vicariously through you,
This is not common in the US but I have seen a few instances here. Most here who collect rainwater use it in their gardens and such.Why does it seem few pool owners have large rainwater collection tanks fed from their home roof used to dilute the pool over winter?
You've got nothing to lose.Should I back it down? I figured it was on its last legs and I'll be replacing it within a month or so
