Thank you! I'll take a deep breath and give it another go :)

We've just covered our pool with a super tight lop loc leaf cover. I need to add chlorine, and I cannot for the life of me get a corner up of the cover to add any liquid bleach. We take care of the pool ourselves but had to pay someone to come put the cover on b/c it huge and heavy (and now I...

Plan is to be prepared. It's still 90 but the water dropped like 5 degrees and my anxiety started :)

Watching this as well - thank you so much

This is great - thanks! I was one of those people in the cold and dark at 2am last year for sure. Question - do I leave the multiport in filter for this? I could change it now for my practice run but I guess it would be frozen if this actually happens.

Hey guys - We lost all our pool equipment during the snowstorm in Texas last winter. I'm already thinking about what that means for this year. Last year we had someone taking care of our pool, now I am taking care of it. As far as I can tell last year they just covered the pool, let the pump...

Thanks for all your help! We were able to run the pump at very low rpm without it tripping off, which got us through the weekend. The electrician came back on Tuesday and fixes their wiring mistake. And got an earful from me :)

Oops, it is a SuperFlo, too much research got me confused. It is a standalone pump and yes I do have a voltmeter and am happy to try anything! I do hope it's not the breaker since it has just been replaced but then again I guess that's something the electrician could easily fix. glad to hear...

On Thursday we had our main circuit panel rebuilt and upgraded from 150 to 200 amp to be up to code. 24 hours after they left we realized the pump is no longer working and showing Err 000F. I've read through the other posts with this error code but have a more specific question. Is it possible...

Perfect, thank you. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it :)

TA question: Just did some tests and here are my numbers. What do I do about the ta? Pool School says not to change TA just to reach a target number. I guess I just want confirmation that I shouldn't do anything about it right now, just keep an eye on it. I just added CYA with the sock method...

Follow up question: If the FC in the pool should be between 2-5ppm , are we assuming that the pool loses all the FC in the pool each day? Is that typical or just because the CYA is so low currently? I ordered the TF 100 test kit - signature completed! Thanks again.

Thank you! Reading up as fast as I can on all the basics.

I'm very new to taking care of the pool myself and am waiting on my new test kit to arrive. In the meantime I just have the pool store test to rely on and it shows low CYA. Advice on how to raise it? Can I wait for the test kit to arrive or do it now? FC 1.45 Cya 22
