    Worms and FC Level

    Funny, I thought I was the only one hah. Same with me. Rain and a large amount of worms in the deep end. Not sure if it ever had any effect on my chorline readings.

    Sanitizing my sort of new to me hot tub.

    How much bleach (10% same as I use in my pool) would you think a hardly used 650 gallon hot tub take per day? So do not use the 1 inch tabs in my floater that I posted a picture of? Thanks for the assistance.

    Sanitizing my sort of new to me hot tub.

    Can I just get my PH, TA, CYA in order. Then use my floater with 1 or 2 of these Oneshock tabs each day. I can check FC each day and make sure it stays between 3-6 or are these tabs not the right way to go? Thanks.

    Pool cleaner

    I have an Aquabot Bravo and love it. I inherited a 10 year old or so one which I traded in 3 years ago for the new Bravo. I have had no issues with but man can it clean a pool. Just my 2 cents. I would not hesitate to get another one when this one finally needs to go.

    Closing pool - questions about chemicals

    Stupid question- If you close the pool early and have a dark cover, (no light really getting in) and you do have some algae growth won't it die off in the winter? Thanks.

    Air going through my pump

    Leak found and repaired. Last homeowner put pucks in the skimmer, ate away the piping. Also flex line used. Not good. All set now.

    Air in pump basket and bubbles from returns....

    Hey all, sorry on the delay. Just been busy at work. Narrowed it down to the my near skimmer. Closed it off and no more air. Had my pool tech use a microphone and found the leak right at the skimmer line where it comes out. I have pavers so easy to dig up. Whoever owned the house must have put...
