Another just general question, but I’ve got heavy rainfall coming. I am guessing the answer to how to deal with this will be test test test and see what’s needed to be added?

Ok I am thinking I will do a full up chem test tonight to see where I am at and get a plan forward from there if I need to adjust TA or CYA etc. Thank y’all 🥺

I have officially passed all 3 points of the SLAM process and maintained from 24 to 23.5 FC overnight. At this point is it just letting the FC go back down to normal? And how often should I now run my pump? I’ll probably be able to do a full tear down of my filter this weekend, but is there...

Ok folks thanks for the input, I will definitely have to check all of the valves as there is always water (think we’re ground not pooling water) around my pump and filter. I’ll have to look up my municipality, but would that mean I would also need a DE remover system before sending it back to...

Thank you so much. The air was totally the issue, my neighbor who had been taking care of the pool for the 80 year old previous owner of the home told me that it didn’t matter if there wasn’t water in the pump pot, but it seemed that if I let it run dry it never quite came back from having that...

My current FC is at 18 with my target of 24. Is this normal? I’ve gone through the slam process and have had my pump running 👍🏼

Ok, above are my posted levels. I will have to admit that I am yellow/green and ~blue/red color blind so I have a tough time with the color matching but I can usually tell when it changes because it is fairly dramatic. I was using the app to follow the SLAM method on Thursday, however it...

Ok I will get those test results. Admittedly that is an old picture of the pump. There is water in it currently. Do I need to put water in every time I turn it on? Same question for the air release as well as if you could possibly tell me how to do the air release. There is a valve on the exit...
