A belated post to thank you for the advice. I'm following up to close the loop for anyone who searches for this problem. There were several issues I had to correct -- the diagram was a great starting point. The hose was too long and I trimmed it, but it was pretty worn out so I decided to...

I’m trying to understand the plumbing for my cleaner. Can anyone explain why the lines go below ground, instead of connecting directly to the rest of the plumbing?

My Polaris 280 is giving me fits. It always ends up stuck in the same spot near the tanning ledge. I discovered the bearings had failed so I replaced those and the wheels now appear to operate properly. I also adjusted the steering jet several times to different positions: up, down, left, right...

Quick update — SLAM complete and pool is back in shape. Will be testing SWG at 100% overnight to make sure it’s ok, but I think I just wasn’t paying enough attention and didn’t SLAM properly before. Again, thanks to all for your help.

Thanks all for your advice. This forum is awesome. Started my SLAM today. Because I knew it was going to be a couple of days before I get to it, I put my SWG at 100% just to see if it would produce. FC rose all the way to 8, so looks like it’s definitely able to produce, and as you suggested...

My FC keeps dropping and I cannot figure out why my SWG doesn’t appear to be producing properly. We have had several gatherings at the pool so I have been doing band-aid work to nurse it along but now I need to figure this out. It began about a month ago. FC dropped to 0.5. Was able to get it...

OCLT was 1.0 this morning. So we are good to go!

Perfect. Thank you for all of your help on this. I really appreciate it!

Thank you Marty. Thoughts on safe level for FC? Can we swim when it's at 20?

Latest update: pool much clearer, but at night with lights I can still see small particles, though not as dense and cloudy as before (see attached). I was out of town and haven’t done OLCT for a few days (not ideal, I know). This evening FC was 20 and CYA 70, so I’m below the FC 26 target. Here...

I figured it out. I entered 5.7% bleach instead of 7.5% 🤦‍♂️
