I keep a pretty tight grip on my numbers for my pool, I think. But I am new at this (3 years as pool owner). The first liner we had was not installed or made correctly so they sent the crew out to drain, remeasure, remake the liner. They installed the second liner this spring, and from the...

Lol, it was off yesterday all day but we are surrounded by cottonwoods and at times it looks like it's snowing! I test for CC everytime and the highest I have ever gotten is .5 ? Is that normal to never have any CC?

Thanks for the help to both of you. I got it to 12, kept it at 12 all day, was at 11.5 this morning, still has just a very fine "touch" of cloudy. Stay with the slam? or kick on SWG? We have forecasted thunderstorms all day and we have auto cover so it's gonna be hard to test today.

Just noticed cloudiness yesterday, looks like I need to slam. Has been up and running for 1 month in KC area SWG pool, salt a little low, CYA very low. Salt 2950 CYA 30 FC .5 CC 0 ph 7.4 Since CYA is low, do I need to get that up BEFORE I slam to at least 60-70? When do I add salt? I guess...

Done! Happy to contribute. Set the new one at 60% last night after my son's ballgame and woke up this morning to a healthy FC of 5 without adding any LC for the first time this summer! Looking back, I think I slammed it 2x this summer because I thought it was pre algae and instead it just...

Thanks for all your help. IC40 replaced today after it failed all their testing.

So if my OCLT is <1, w SWG off, and SWG on at 100% 24 hours a day is not adding to my FC, is it even remotely possible the SWG is working?

And PB just texted me to tell me "there's a lot of things that can consume chlorine so we will have to analyze and make sure we are covering our bases" and "the machine does not use up salt to create chlorine, the salt doesn't go down because of consumption it only goes down because of splash...

So supposedly the builder is brining up a more detailed test for SGC, even though it running at 100% right now 24 hours a day, isn't adding any FC to my pool. Also want to know if I've tested for phosphates??? - - - Updated - - - Also, I asked him if it's running at 100% 24 hours a day, why...

So OCLT was 4.0 last night. 3.5 this morning. No CC. But SWG lights were now all good and green after resting it overnight...Have a call into pool builder to come figure out why it's not working and why it was on the fritz all day yesterday.

Nope been doing it all afternoon today. Wasn't doing it yesterday. Crazy. - - - Updated - - - And flow light is red...

Now my 1c40 salt cell is blinking red and green saying too much salt/not enough salt...It's got 3800 per Intellichlor...

Thanks for all the help. If I do an oclt I assume swg goes off?

CYA is 55

Yes, K-2006c test kit last summer too... I will do an OCLT test tonight.
