Hi all, Just completed our NPT stonescape resurface and waterline retile. Job was complete December 3, 2020. So all materials are less than a month old. I've been keep daily tracking of pool chemistry and daily brushing. Everything like I did in the past. I've now noted efflorescence in...

Thank you. I had read that before and did so again. Still don't see anything that says UV-C causes chlorine consumption. From that article: "Hypochlorous acid does, in fact, react with UV-C light but not to an extent to cause significant chlorine demand" I'm reaching out to Paramount to get...

mknauss: do you have a reference source I can review about UV-C systems consuming chlorine? I cannot find any information on that.

Mike, I'm going through a lot of chlorine also. Probably over around 64oz 12.5% per day for a 12000 gallon pool. I think a problem with the SLAM process is that it doesn't account for pools that have auto fill. In Phoenix with every day over 105, my water level goes down about an inch each...

thank you for the follow up. That’s the confusing part. The fluid is always clear when I add the five drops of R-0003 in the AM test after the FC test. if it was being consumed at the rate because of algae I would expect there to be some color on that total chlorine test. But there’s not. I...

I am dosing only at dark and I'm checking the next AM before sun up. Another example: if my PM Cl is 4 and I want the next AM to be 7, pool math tells me to add 37oz 12.5%. If I add that amount, the AM level is only 5.5. I'm adding 64 oz to get to that level. It's been frustrating to go...

Hi all, My first pool and TFP been helping alot. I have the PoolMath app. Details of my pool and equipment in signature. Briefly: my pool is clear and I'm happy with the clarity. Algae not present. But it is taking me a lot of chlorine daily to keep it looking good. My CYA level is 55...

Thanks for the responses. We have pop ups, floor drain and skimmer. But I'm using a robot vacuum for the floors. Good point on rotating the pump, I'll look at the space after work.

Just moved to our new house in AZ and we are new to pools, but learning. In the attached picture, the water goes first through a leaf canister (black lid) and then travels to the single speed pool pump (tan lid). I want install a variable speed pump and the recommended install describes a 10"...
