    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    Current testing: FC 10 CC 0.5 pH 8.0 TA 100 CYA 60 NaCl 3400 I added 3 cups muriatic just now. 3 days ago I was at 18 FC. 5 days ago I was at 6.5. 5 days ago, I dumped in 5 gallons of chlorine. It was a little excessive but at the time I thought I was battling MA hence the higher Cl levels...

    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    It has not responded to my SLAM. Strange. I was at around 40 ppm for 3 days. Water is clean otherwise.

    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    Here is what I have. Disregard the mango leaf. This is in a few areas of the pool and always shows up in those areas most likely due to the water circulation. I cannot do a pH test as my FC is too high for an accurate reading. I posted that my pH was 7.6 prior to SLAMing for MA. CYA was...

    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    I learned from a prior post about MA that OCLT doesn't matter. Is that incorrect? My water is otherwise crystal clear.

    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    Why was this post moved? It was appropriate to the convo in the other thread. Additionally, those that have replied on the other thread, and other members, may find value in it. Doesn't make sense to create another thread for a discussion that is ongoing. SMH

    Pollen or Mustard Algae?

    Following this thread with interest as I too have been battling this. It has been windy here for about a week. Could it just be pollen being blown in? I don't know. About 5 days ago I was at 6 ppm FC. Dumped 5 gallons of Cl into about 11000 gallons. pH was at 7.6. Pump has been on for 4...

    CC level question

    My CC is at 0.5. Should I be concerned? Water is clear. My FC is at 7.0. I like to keep it a little higher as my power frequently blinks in the summertime and the pump doesn't always come back on. If I'm at work, the SWG will not run for a day. CYA around 60.

    Chem Question

    Living in SoFla, we are getting heavy rains pretty much every day now. I was a little negligent on my testing process and things kind of got away from me. No, I didn't have an algae bloom but my Cl got low due to having low salt. Got my salt up to 3200 now (using the reagant test, not the...

    Poop In Pool

    This morning I walked out and noticed two turds in our pool. I'm guessing it was one of the feral cats around here (that's a different story). I scooped out what I could but didn't get it all. So I vacced and backflushed. My Cl is maintained at around 8. I'm wondering if I should jack it up...

    Need A Fitting

    It's an Intex. I know. Pain in the.... I picked up a 2" threaded cap just to see if it fit and it does.

    Need A Fitting

    I am looking to replace the flex hose on my pool. I'm in need of a couple threaded fittings that would enable me to go from the 2" threaded discharge to PVC pipe. I'm not sure what the fitting is called. A 2" female adapter fits where the gray nut is attached. However, I would prefer to...
