Correct, we do our best but the cover can shift. Thanks for the peace of mind.

I just did a basic google search a few times with a variety of wording related to your reply and couldn’t find any information on your response. Do you have any literature you could share or link to? Im wondering if my reply wasn’t clear. I SLAM with chlorine only. Once it holds (following...

It’s an older pool/plumbing set up itself with new equipment (pump, filter, heater, UV filter, ozonater). Liner is maybe 4 years old. This may be a dumb question, but do I float some plastic on the surface of the water in the bucket to mimic a cover? The amount of water being lost is new, or...

Hello, I just wanted to share what I found to really work for my indoor pool troubles incase anyone ever is searching and finds this thread. Because my pool is indoor and doesn’t see the sunlight, sometimes I need help with lowering the combined chlorine. The SLAM method works great for...

Hello, This may be a long shot, but I’m wondering if anyone can help walk me through a way to determine if my indoor pool is leaking. I live in Colorado. It gets down to 20 or lower at night right now. Air is cold and very, very dry. I have a 16x32 indoor pool that is covered with a bubble...

Thank you so much for your quick replies! I am so sorry. I thought I had given you a full test report. Please don’t hesitate to tell me what I’m missing if you need more info. pH: 7.4 TC: 8.2 CC: 0.4 TA: 110 CH: 200 CYA: 5 (I know this low but I had read here on this site that I could raise...

Hello. I am a new pool owner that’s ready to fill it all in with concrete because despite the awesome knowledge I’ve gained from this site, I’m at my wits end. Pool is chlorine with a UV light filter, cartridge filter, ozonater, and gas heater. Water sits at about 84 degrees. Pool has a vinyl...
