Non chelated copper will normal copper at a low dose should not . If u blindly listen to instruction to keep adding yes. Hence the question

Was looking at using copper to help prevent algae growth however am a little confused form my aquarium day. All these products recommend a maintance does? Why chelated Copper should never come out of solution on amounts large enough to require weekly additions .75 ppm of copper should be enough...

i think its gunite or somthing? looks like cement to me! i think this is kind of the step im at.. 5.4< 8 am sat 4.44<2 pm 3.42<8 pm sat 3.35<8 AM sun 2.77<<8 monday am 2.57< tues 8am

Maybe gets light use once every other week

Ok I will look into a swg however I think my point of .5 ppm was missed this would not be the value all week just when I return. It would be about 1 ppm the day before 2 before thy and 4 before that again just talking about loss to uv

According to all the charts retention seems to cap out at 99 percent an hour for any cya above 60 . After talking with some pool guys who do weekly maint I think I will go with 50 cya and bring the pool to a cl level that leavs 0.1-0.5 ppm for the next week I am having fun experimenting ...

Hmm most I found in the 60-75 range only did Chem or If they did clean they charged for chem But still question remains how do they get away with once a week? I see most of then only use liquid cl or dry never any of the "pucks"

Raise cya to what and Fcl To what? At about 60 ppm cya maxes out on its benefits no?

Their are cool months? Not here lol it's summer already in Florida Also 38 percent 24 hour loss. Checking again in 6 12 and 24 hours

Just an idea to find out a little more about what is happening wedge a sponge into the top and see if you get similar results . if so it would seem diffusion is what is taking place. also wondering if a "chicken feed" system would make the use more constant. think of one of the "automated...

491040 BTU added to the pool in a MONTH or 16368 in a day.. SO it WILL raise the temp 1 degree in one day assuming >>>>NO HEAT LOSS<<< 1 degree in 1 gallon of water = 1btu 1 watt = 3.41 btu. this is regardless of the source being light motion or resistance. in the end a watt is a watt put a...

Thats no fun! This has become a science project for me now. and MY OCD means i must make it work without the use of floaters or anything else. just liquid CL cya acid bakingsoda and borate ordered enough borate to bring her pool to apx 40-50 ppm and am thinking this will help with algae and...

I am now maintaining my mothers pool who lives a distance away and is not capable of doing it her self I can only make it to her house ever 6-8 days and do NOT wish to use triclor or anything that would RAISE the CYA Our current CYA levels are 43 ppm and i did a 12 hour test to find we are...
