Thanks Holy but your answer confuses me. Your minimum is 5 and target is 8 according to the chart. So what then is the 10ppm you're referring to. Hello from Pace by the way!��

Great! Thanks so much.

One last question( I think). Instead of raising my FC above the target level every evening, should I rather try to always keep it between the minimum and target?

I plan on upping my CYA. How do you do it with a sock? Do you actually cover the return and secure it with a rubber band or something?

If I raise my CYA up to about 50 will the higher target FC make it a little more uncomfortable on my eyes?

Okay thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for being so patient with me.

How is it possible to keep it at target level at all times if you only make 1 addition daily? I'm not "letting it drop". That's just going to happen automatically, right? No, I don't lose more an 1ppm at night. I just finished my first SLAM a week or so ago, and tested that.

5 is above my target FC. Yet I bring it to that every evening so that by the next day it will have drifted back down to around 3.5 - 4.0 and good for swimming. Am I doing wrong? My CYA was last at 30 so target is 4.

So what level should I bring it to every evening?

So please tell me if the way I am currently maintaining my pool is okay. In the evening I bring my FC level up to about 5 or so. The next afternoon it usually has been reduced to 3.5, and so I add about 25 oz of bleach. I have only been checking my FC level every 2 or 3 days lately. I assume...

So here's a very newbie question. If CYA is a stabilizer it should maintain whatever the corresponding FC level is according to the CYA/chlorine chart, right? Why then the need to add anymore bleach at all? I know that this is a sill question but I just wanna make sure my thinking is correct...

So I just finished SLAMMING my pool for the first time, and am officially in maintenance mode. I have heard much about the BBB method but could not find a single page, such as in "Pool School", explaining it for beginners such as myself. Unless I overlooked it. Can anyone do this, or is it...

I believe my pool is completely done. It is totally clear. I will do my overnight test tonight just to make sure. The last thing I did was replace the Intex filter with a Pleatco. I wanted to get Unicel but this one should be an improvement as well. I have learned so much the past several...

Even though my pool is pretty clear, everytime I clean the filter I notice the water in the pump does appear somewhat milky, although it's improving. Which Unicel filter will work with my 2500G Intex pump?
