See there... the great advice just keeps rollin' in! I'm headed out to the pool to get the SpeedStir magnet that I dropped to the bottom last night. haha Once again, Dean...

Thank you again, gentlemen, for your sage advice. Pool sparkling. CC <.5 FC OCLT... Lost a measly 1.0ppm I'm now off to maintain and enjoy it!

How funny, I've always done that. But I'm in the middle of SLAM so I thought I'd keep my face out of the water. We're avid divers, which is one of the reasons I know exactly that peace which you speak of! Teenage daughters would certainly be another reason 🤫

Aww, both I and my above-ground pool are envious. :suspect:

Great info, Dean, thanks. Funny, I was just now wondering how safe it is to do the required vacuuming while the FC is so high! Fortunately, my water is still crystal. I can see little piles of brown on the floor, HA, those little buggers are dying off. [wicked witch cackle!] It's our hottest...

Thank you guys for helping out! Dean, the water was perfectly clear at the final test last night, YAY. However, this morning's numbers were the telltale sign. Overnight, the FC went from 8ppm to 4ppm. [insert swear word]. Those nasty cooties got my hopes up with the water clarity! It's...

Hey again, Dean, Thanks one more time for your help. Things seem to be progressing nicely on my first SLAM. FC tested @ 8ppm just before dark. I'll need to raise a bit more in the a.m. (Target 10ppm according to The Chlorine/CYA Chart.) Given that it's dark now, would this be an opportunity...

Dean, would you mind following the link to my logs in my original post, that would be helpful and save me some time, thanks again!

Hi, Thanks for your help. I agree, I'd never visit a pool store for advice, I know I'd walk out with less money than I arrived with! I've simply never needed any guidance until this year's opening. I'm not a new member but a new 'poster' so I've read most of the Pool School articles (as well as...

Hi Dean, thanks! I realized after reading your post - about adding the white powder - that I did indeed use the FAS-DPD reagents to arrive at those FC numbers. I'd purchased the FAS-DPD kit in the past and simply stored the R0870 and R0871 in my K-2005. Oops! (Although the K-2005 doesn't...

Hi Fellow TFPoolers! Thanks so much in advance for your help. Hopefully I’ve added the (PoolMath) link to ‘My Pool’ correctly - where my info and recent test numbers can be found. https://troublefreepool.com/mypool/x6xgpXz If not, please let me know and I’ll post the numbers ‘by hand’. Is...
