Thursday 4/23 update. FC continues to slowly drop. FC is going down 9ppm every two or so days. Hopefully by Monday I will be under 10ppm.

@JJ_Tex - Still Fanta?

That took 52 drops?

@PoolGate - 52 on the nose... Hence the title of this thread!

Remember, you can swim when the FC levels are below SLAM level.
What is your SLAM level?

 

[JJ_Tex]

I’m going with blood orange today

 

[kotuku]

@mariane - with a CYA of 45, SLAM would be an FC of 18. Still a bit to go.

@JJ_Tex - Nice! haha

with a CYA of 45, SLAM would be an FC of 18. Still a bit to go.

FYI -- it is not possible to measure a CYA of 45 using this testing method. Round up your result to 50 ppm.

 

[kotuku]

@mknauss - Thanks! CYA of 50 = SLAM FC of 20. I may be swimming by the weekend! ?

Tell all the folks needing liquid chlorine to bring jugs to your house and fill them from the pool
Glad you were smart enough to test it when it burned your eyes

I'll bring a jug of water in exchange for a jug of your pool water chlorine.

Unbelievable.

Sunday 4/26 update:

FC 15.5
CC 0
pH 7.8
CYA 40

Looking at the SLAM chart, I am at the SLAM level today. Ideally I should be at 5-7ppm of FC?

Unbelievable.

Ill bring a roll of toilet paper in exchange for a jug of your pool water chlorine

Dang, I went away for 4 days and you are still at Fanta orange.

The fumes from your pool should help protect the neighborhood from the virus

 

[kotuku]

@mguzzy We have a winner!

I just looked at the calendar, and the last time the pool guy 'serviced' the pool was 10 days ago on 4/16. The only thing I have done since then is check the levels.

@JJ_Tex Yup, still Fanta. A few days at least until lemonade!

 

[mknauss]

Correct.

Your pool water is now safe to swim in.

And now you know why the pool guy was rolling 55 gallon barrels around ?

I think I'd still wear an old bathing suit just in case (serious)....or maybe some jeans you want to fade (not entirely serious)

Hey if they fade and have fabric damage you can sell them for $250

I just wanna dip my sweat stained white tshirts I wear at the prison. Hey... I'm essential staff!
