Up and down 3-6 FC

My water is crystal clear. My FC is 6.0. MY CC is 0. I did the overnight chlorine test and it didn't move. No signs of visible algae except at the waterline of pool. I scrubbed it off with a brush and a week later it was back. What's going on? FC 6.0 CC 0 CYA 60 TA 100 PH 7.4 CH 300 Thanks,

After the advice I've seen here I am opting to go with the Circupool RJ-60 Plus

Should I go with the RJ-60 Plus? Seems like overkill for my 12,800 gal pool versus the 45.

It seems everyone has a SWG. It's making we wonder why I don't have one. I am thinking of getting the RJ-45 Plus. I run my Tristar pump for about 9 hours a day, 5 hours on low about 1000 rpms and higher for about 4 hours (2400 rpm). The pump has internal digital screen and programable. Will the...

FC held overnight and 0 for CC, pool is crystal clear; guess I won't have to SLAM.

How much are they charging you for cleaner (the aquanaut)? I imagine they have a markup on it. They usually run about 450 bucks on Amazon with the attachments and hoses. The robot cleaner is about 1k or more depending on what type it is from my research. How much does the IFCS cost?

The IFCS will require parts over time. I seem to replace my gear module about every 3-4 years. Its about 250 bucks. Easy to change, but kinda sucks its a part designed to wear out. If you have to replace a pop-up they are about 90 bucks each. The IFCS also may have some "dead" spots. The...

I have the aquanaut 200 and it runs great as long as you have enough flow going to it. I also have the Tristar VS 1.85 pump and love it, saved me a ton of money and its quiet.

I have a PCC2000 inground pool cleaner and I am replacing the gear module in the valve port for the second time in 6 years. My question is which is better: the inground pool cleaner or my suction Aquanaut 200 cleaner? I ordered a new module (250 bucks) and it should be running again this week. I...

Thank you for the response. I'll keep an eye on it.

Got my test kit. Going to do a Overnight test. This AZ heat is blistering lately (about 110), I'm out maybe 10 minutes doing my tests in the shade and sweating. 4:24 PM/ 7/11/23 FC 9.0 CC 0 TA 100 PH 7.4 CYA 45

I have a waterfall that runs about 5 hours a day and the aerator is on running about 4 hours a day (separate pump). I heard they both may affect my PH. Is this going to affect my PH? How much +/- per week? Currently I'm at 7.4 PH.

New to this community. Had some algae problems last month, had to drain and refill then to Leslie's to get water tested. I know, invested in a water testing kit after reading tons of posts in the forum, the pool school threads and browsing around. The pool is clear but FC (.3) is not staying in...
