I write all my numbers down on a printed Excel sheet so I can see them in one shot over the course of the summer. I only log numbers when I need a calc (SLAM, adjust PH/ALK, etc.)

I've got a Hayward TurboCell TCELL940. If 5.9 is all it makes, how am I holding 8.0-9.0 constantly? Poolmatch says to raise my CYA to 70-80 but at 45 I'm holding FC at 85% SWG.

I log it and my numbers have looked great all summer. I've been picking about 2 frogs out of the pool every day - could they have brought it in?

Phosphates is from the pool store, everything is else is from my Taylor K-2006C kit that I test weekly and track.

Haven't tried but I'm 100% sure I cant.

Hayward S310T2 500lb Sand Filter

Have a 30K salt pool and had algae come out of no where. I'll sweep the pool and within 2 days, it starts creeping back - always in the deep end and in the same couple spots. Below are my numbers with pool math recommendations. CYA: 45 (60-90) FC: 9.0 (3-9) PH: 7.5 (7.2-8.0) ALK: 70 (50-90)...

Appreciate the info! One other thing... Back in April we were getting ready to leave for a week long trip over spring break and I was doing my final check over everything. Noticed a little green in one corner and freaked out knowing I couldn't SLAM because I'd be gone and we were leaving in...

Test FC/PH/TA once a week, CYA once a month. Test is always done during the day, normally middle of the day. I run my pump 8am-4pm and this test was done at 3pm, so should be a pretty accurate read.

Salt Pool with the numbers below. See a little green in the same spots everyday and brush, but it returns the next day. When I brush the liner walls/floor, I see a cloud of what looks like algae disperse. What gives? Thanks! CYA: 50 FC: 6.5 PH: 7.6 TA: 60

That make sense it's just intermittent and driving me crazy. Even if the same bed lifted into the MPV, wouldn't that sand dump to street when I rinse? Thanks!

Gotta update... I vac to waste and removed all sand from the pool and ran the pump for 2 weeks without anything in the pool. Backwashed for 5 minutes, then rinsed for 1 minute before flipping back to filter. Sand dumped out into the street where my backwash drains and returned back into the...

Building a covered porch off of the back of my house so guest have a place to chill in the shade. About 70' in total length. Anyone have a recommendation on ceiling material? I will have a natural gas fire pit under it, but 10' away from the ceiling and I'm guessing smoke stain shouldn't be a...

Hey what is the even called? Thanks!

How would I attach the skimmer sock to the return? Do the return fitting just unthread without causing issue to the liner? Also, is there a way to clean the pool of sand/dead algae without vaccum to waste? Can't tell what on the bottom and would hate to replcae the later assembly + 500lbs of...
