Question while slamming, l have read the SWG shouldn’t on during the slam procedure. When you setup the pool in the math app while slamming do you choose bleach or SWG?? Hope you understand the question? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Mintypool, I have read all 10 pages and was thinking the same thing. My pool is 15’ wide so I’m thinking a 14’6”pipe or maybe even less so the foam core pipe doesn’t rub my vinyl liner? Hope mas985 replies his expert advice?

Was your pool full of water?

I’m wanting to reposition my steps, so the question is it safe to remove the top rails and switch them to another position so I can use the same holes for ladder and steps? My pool is full oval 15x30 wanting to move them from 10 o’clock position to the 2 O’clock position. Thanks for any replies.

Bump

Just tested twice back to back, I got a 29 and then a 32.5. Seems the bottle needs a Little squeeze now and then. It rolls out 10 drops without squeezing then I flip back upright and flip it back to start dropping drips again. I’ll see how my test goes in the AM. :unsure:

Well I just tested again and my FC is even higher. FC 24 added 100oz bleach to bring to 28 via PoolMath. Hour later checked I got 30, check again 1hr 20 minutes later and it’s now up to 33.5. Something crazy going on. Taylor has best by 12/19, TFP doesn’t have a date but I just recently ordered it.

Any difference between the two? Test an hour ago with the one on left, pool math said to add 100oz of 6% bleach to bring up to 28. Hour later test results was over 28, it’s 30 now. To much, any thoughts?

Been slamming since Tuesday and I have to keep it up a few more days, kids would like to swim. Is it safe, my water is clear and it been clear but just not passing the overnight test. Went from 28 last to 26 this morning so still adding bleach. Is it safe to swim while slamming?

Has anyone used Trex decking boards with a saltwater pool? I’m getting ready to purchase some decking boards and wondering how wil they hold up with asalt water above grould pool

Well last years padlock used to lock my ladder didn’t survive. (made in China) can anyone recommend a padlock that may last longer then one season. Dealing with a salt water pool so I think that’s what did it in.

Still working on it Splashpad, decided to up beach readings to 24 and my Cya 60 because my overnight test keeps dropping 3ppm. Reading the chart we were doing for non-salt water pools 50cya. I was bordering between 50 & 60 so we need to round up right?

Does to much bleach hurt, here is my dilemma. Turned open my overflow valve because of to much rain, then forgot to close. Sucks!? all filled back up now. In the middle of slam process last Friday I ran out of testing supply. In refill kit came today, CYA was 80 at start so I was slamming 31...

Got my refill test kit today, all weekend without, 3 gallons a day I’ve been just trying keep the FC up. Guess it’s start over time with slam. But check this mess up I did yesterday, I left my overflow drain open (forget to close) emptied below skimmer. Sucks! Filled back up now and at least...
