Our in ground pool over the last 5 years has sunk in one corner/side. As you can see in the photo, the waterline is sloped to the one end (call it south shallow end). We have a skimmer box on each the North and South side. The skimmer on the North side is barely getting enough water while my...

Seems this stuff is coming back every couple days after I Vacuum. I have a vinyl cover so can’t imagine it is from dust or airborne particles falling in as its covered most of the time. I only suspect that it’s alage but my FC levels are good, I have passed overnight test and water is clear. I...

Just following up from my last post. Since then I have just been monitoring the levels as they have come down from completing Slamm. We have not used the pool and it has remained with the cover on during the day. Is it normal to see the FC loss based on the results below? I was expecting it to...

Ok, would you recommend I just use the pool as normal until my FC is below 10, then deal with the PH? I plan to use it this weekend.

Regina is located in Saskatchewan - Central Canada. the pool cover name is Safe-T cover II. We have had it for 10 plus years. It is track mounted and powered by hydraulics. Definitely a good investment.

Thanks for the info on the covers, I will keep that in mind going forward. Would this be because when you roll them up the exterior face touches the interior and there is cross-contamination? I stayed on things over the weekend and it appears I have passed the slamm. I have posted my results...

The water is very clear. I passed the overnight test one night but failed the following. My predicament is if I should keep going or not as it seems I passed the slamm requirements to pass. As pypeke mentioned, maybe I need to go until I have 0 change in FC for the over night? The odd thing is...

Thank you guys for your comments, it is my first time doing this so I will be taking all your recommendations. In my recent posts, you made note of my testing being not regular during Slamm. I did not post all the results for those days. To assist I have copied my results each day I started the...

Here is an update from yesterday. I thought I had passed the finish line last night as my daily FC values stayed rather constant. However, I failed the overnight test when I checked this morning. I’m not sure where to go from here as I have passed the overnight test once and then failed a few...

I didn’t test 2 hours after as I was at work and couldn’t get home for lunch. I was not sure if I should continue with the slamm even though it appeared from the overnight test I had passed. I did another overnight night test last night and I lost 1ppm. I haven’t added anything to the pool...

Since I just sneaked past the over night test I decided I would keep the slamm up for one more night. I wasn’t able to come home for lunch today so I figured I would add the 2l in the morning to make sure the FC was maintained until I got back at dinner. My assumption in the morning was that if...

Hi Guys, checking in with an update. I confirmed CYA is 40. Here are are my results from the past few days. I did an overnight loss test last night and appeared to pass. However, based on the results during the day I’m not so sure. I added 2L of Chlorine this morning and still went down by...
