Ok thank you. I added my pool info to my signature I thought. Maybe I’m doing it wrong? I have been testing with a kit from this site, TF 100. I can’t remember my salt level right now but the pool guy yesterday said it was ‘good’. I’ll get back to you on this. Thank you!

Ok thank you. Had the service manager out to check our salt cell and he said it’s running at about 80%. Some of the blades are uneven. Said it would be ok for the rest of the season. Shouldn’t that cell be making our chlorine? Maybe that is our problem? Checked the chlorine, ph and cya today...

I linked my profile, thanks!

I’ve only logged my test results once.

Ok I will, thank you!

Hi- I’m new to this site and maintaining my own pool, so forgive me if my terms are not correct. We have a saltwater pool that is 35k gallons with a connected hot tub. I would have said for sure there is algae in my pool because of the green ‘dust’ clouds when I brush it. I ran an overnight...
