Follow-up question: Is it safe to swim in today?

What's a good method for evaluating air getting into the system? It is quite old, I think it turned 50 this year.

Sand filter. Just replaced this winter, also. I have not tried SLAM yet -- will do. thanks

Today's test results: 2.0 FC 0.0 CC 7.6 PH 50 TA 300 CH CYA under 30 I've got floating white material on the pool surface. Everything seems to be in order with water chemistry. I've read on google that this is white mold, but not a lot of amazing threads here that match what I'm seeing.

See attached photos. I stripped out my pool's old sealant a couple years ago and applied Vulkem 45 SSL into the expansion joints. I filled in the gaps with some foam backer rods before applying the Vulkem. I expected the sealant to do a better job of adhering to the adjacent slabs, but in many...

I'm certain high FC wasn't a problem, I have been neglecting chemical testing for about a month. I've been slowing adding more 10% bleach into the pool today, and I've been able to re-achieve FC back to around 2.0, which is just short of what I'm aiming for. Thanks for the help, everyone

Don't have an OTO test kit. I'll probably buy one after today. CC 0.2

My indoor pool has low FC. Using taylor FAS-DPD test, I have to put about four heaping scoops of R-0870 into my 25mL sample in order to see any tinge of pink, and not the usual dark pink I'm more accustomed to seeing. Do I need to keep adding more R-0870 powder until it turns a darker pink in...

Would I be better off with polyurethane caulk, as recommended in this old thread? https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/grout-is-cracking-and-breaking-up-between-the-tile-and-coping-after-renovation.123052/

I found a better angle to illustrate what I think is the biggest current problem with my tile/coping gaps. Can I use something like this? Can I fill that gap with the pool filled? What's the best short-term solution until I have the pool emptied in the offseason and can do a more long-term...
