Thanks Jezza! Just tested...my results are: DATE/TIME FC CC PH TA CH CYA Salt Borate Temp CSI 19/03/2017 19:25 5.0 0.5 7.4 50 75 25 24.00 I will need to test my CYA again tomorrow. I just took a guess as it was dark and not in the right conditions. So may need some minor adjusting.

Thanks Needs...appreciated. Back to work: 1. I went into the pit today and there was algae/dirt, however this will always be the case so will try to find that balance that kills anything that has potential to grow. It was nowhere near as bad as last time as I am maintaining it. The slats a...

Duraleigh, For me that was more than a bit harsh. I have never owned a pool, tested one or otherwise till I test prior to Christmas. SO for me, this has been a great feat despite your thoughts. Its not just about the testing it was also trying to educate myself on what equipment I had, what...

Brushed the pool and removed the worms with the pool net. Did some tests after having the fiter running over night on superchlorinate...still on the SC cycle. FC 15. I only put enought chlorine to get to FC10 so SWG doing its job. pH at 7.4 CYA at 60 If there is any good news it is I havd a...

I have 2 hydrostatic valves. One in the pit under the pool cover and one in the deep end of the pool. The one in the pit is connected and functional. The other I was advised was just the valve without connection. I am waiting for the pool guy to come and confirm though as there is also a...

No to slats... yes to run off but only the 1m paths around pool...main drain possible but i was told its not connected and only a relief valve.... Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

I must have done something really bad in a former life. How do I go from FC 2.5 to 11.0 and back down to 0? 5/03/2017 10:51 2.5 0.5 12/03/2017 18:19 11.0 0.5 17/03/2017 18:13 0.0 0.5 How is my CC 0.5? Pool has a bit of yellow in it. So it is algae back again...I Just dont understand...

Good pickup Jezza. CSI on Jesses' pool calculator is different from the Pool math website. I was looking at the excel sheet. I entered the numbers online and got yours. Thanks for that.

I have a variable speed pump. Which reminds me - do you think pump speed impacts SWG efficiency. The 2 changes I have made are SWG at 100% and pump speed from Eco to medium which is 1400rpm to 2400rpm? Good point about CSI. To be honest It has not been something I have foused on, but now...

Im excited!!! Finally some test results that are good. I did not touch my water since the last test and everything has improved: FC CC pH TA CH CYA Salt Borate Temp CSI Notes 5/03/2017 10:51 2.5 0.5 7.6 50 125 15 3400 -0.16 Put SWG to 100% 12pm on . Before this it was 60%.. CYA was...

Ok...so I have had the bucket in for some time now. The weather has been horrible. But rain not so intense. The bucket water level and pool level are still exactly the same. Is it safe to assume no leak or do I need a few days dry weather? I will test chlorine again tomorrow as I have had...

Yes-dumb me missed that point :pth:...thanks

Ok...good start - woke up this morning and bucket was looking good. If there was a leak reflective of the water replacement values in Caco's post (Test kit in ... let the SLAMing begin! - Page 23) I would have expected to see a change? I will wait till thi afteroon and check again. In either...
