They are pretty shallow. Maybe 9 inches of water. I would think having the river rock should disperse it a bit, but I could be wrong. Definitely something I need to keep a better eye on.

Think I found the culprit. Was cleaning today and moved the river rocks in our water bowls around. Poof! Clouds of debris came out. I took them all out, cleaned them with a bleach solution, cleaned the bowls and will see what happens now. I also adjusted my program to run them four times per day...

Yes to both. SWG is at 0% and I've been brushing in the morning and the evening.

Thanks! Is it safe to use the robot to help with cleaning during a SLAM? Figure it is as long as I take it out when it’s done?

So I ended up starting a SLAM Saturday evening as the pool lost 3.5 of FC in a few hours before I could even get to the OCLT. I saw what I needed to see at that point and went for it. Its been going pretty well so far. I initially started at an FC of 24 but stepped it up to 28 when I retested my...

Thanks!

Yes. No flow rate issues.

I will run an OCLT tonight. Wouldn't I see some evidence of organics in CC readings? They've consistently been at 0.

FC 4.2 CC 0.0 pH 7.6 TA 70 CH 310 CYA 60 CSI -0.33 Salt 3200 Temp 78 47% for 10.5 hrs (3.5 ppm/day as I posted before)

Over the past few weeks I’ve been dealing with an issue with keeping my FC levels consistent. During the summer, I had no issues keeping our FC ~7.5 with a setting that added ~2.0 per day. This was with > 90 degree temps, direct sun, and almost daily rainstorms here in Central FL. However, for...

No au No auto fill and no sign of a leak. Have to add an inch of water maybe every two weeks if we don’t get normal rains, but would think that’s pretty typical evaporation.

I’ve been using liquid stabilizer for most of the past six months since our pool was completed. I’m perhaps the least patient person in the world, so have found it much easier and have been willing to stomach the increased cost. That said, I’m trying to get a sense for how much addition is...

After six months of waiting that included three re-makes until our builder got them right, we’ve finally got our water bowls installed. My question now is how often does everyone run theirs daily? Trying to balance not running too often and increase pH with not letting the water get stagnant...

Just wanted to share that while I’ve not been able to address this myself yet, I did approach the builder about it. They sent a tech out to clean it up, who suggested we just use Jack’s Magic Purple Stuff and it won’t happen anymore. I think I know the answer to this, but that’s a complete cop...

Sounds doable. Any suggestions on the dilution for the acid spray?
