My Jandy actuators have broken and I’m trying to figure out how to manually move the valves but need some help identifying the pipes. The handles on the valves have also broken but hopefully you can tell where they’d normally be in these pictures. Is it possible to tell just from these...

Do I need to add anything else to combat the algae or is it just a matter of filtering it out? Thanks.

Here's the results from my ammonia test and SLAM: 10:30AM Ammonia - 8PPM FC 0.5 CC 1.0 ADDED 8 JUGS OF 10% BLEACH AT 128 OZ EA 12pm Ammonia somewhere between 4-8PPM (not a precise test kit) FC 2.5 CC 1.5 ADDED 11 JUGS OF 10% BLEACH AT 128 OZ EA 12:45pm Ammonia 0.25 FC 5 CC 0.5 ADDED 1 JUG OF...

Do you know if removing the filters and continuing to run the pump would do any damage to the equipment? My filter is an old Pentair CC520P and it looks like the one attached (not the exact model but very close).

That is super helpful. I'll get a ton of bleach this weekend and an ammonia testing kit and will report back. You are right that my numbers were off. I am using 10% bleach so I should have stated that PoolMath directs me to add about A COUPLE of 128oz jugs at a time. Thanks again. - - -...

Last year I remember it got super high from shocking that the pool store told me to do. I think it got to about 100 before I realized my error. I haven't drained but have filled a little here and there since then. How would it come down so low without draining it? Thanks.

Just opening and found it to be low. Why does that make a difference? (Just trying to learn as much as I can, thanks).

Thanks! How many days does it usually take for CYA to show up? Best site ever, by the way. 18,000 GL, IG, plaster, cartridge, Starite pump

I'm SLAMing and am concerned I will add too much CYA because I've read it takes a while to show up. Pool is pretty green. Test kit K2006 FC 1.0 CC 2.0 pH 7.4 TA 80 CH 500 CYA appears 0 (it is not even 30 and that is the lowest number on my test kit). I added enough CYA two days ago to...
