Thanks all for the help so far. My plan is now to slam the pool and start fresh. Up my normal chlorine to 4. I was hoping it was something obvious.

Thanks for all the help. I’m not a all. Nothing changed except the ph 🤷‍♂️

My neighbor has the cows. One got tossed up into a tree from the storm. But he does pee outside a lot. I guess that’s a farmer thing 🤣

I’m in an agricultural and swampy area. Lots of livestock. Lots of swamp decay. Its never been a problem. At the time this all started, we had an EF3 tornado pass a few hundred yards from the house. serratia marscenes is an anaerobic bacteria that comes from animal waste and decay. I called the...

My OCLT two nights ago was .6. On poolmath, the suggested chlorine is target of 4, minimum of 2. I keep 2.5 to 3. I will up that.

Here is a long shot from a neighbor. serratia marescens. Has anyone ever heard of it?

Sure thing. I’m working on an ipad right now. it will be later when I get to a computer.

Thanks, I edited my post above after reading up on off gassing. I have a medically sensitive kid who is the primary user if the pool. I keep the water very balanced for him. My big question now, and likely some more work to be done, is why it is all of a sudden doing this. Its been covered when...

Yes, always. For this pool, it has been covered when not in use for 7 years. But I am interested in hearing more about covers and ph ph thanks. Edit: I just read up on off gassing and ph drop with a cover. That makes sense. I just suppose now I need to figure out what I’m doing differently as it...

I have done the pool school. I have searched the forums and gotten what seems like conflicting answers. I have been using the Taylor 2006 or tftkits equivalent for about 12 years now. I take my water to two different pool stores, about every other month to compare. So, I am pretty confident in...

8450Ti-E replaced a Hayward HP21404T

Jim R, Thanks for the quick reply. 3 things got me to question this. I understand that different heaters add resistance but the difference between the two heaters was huge, and by that I mean one ran as though there was no resistance the same as with the bypass fully closed so it had no...

If this has been asked here before, please help direct me to the thread. I did a search and didn’t find anything. I have a 15,000 gallon pool with a 1.5hp pump. 2” pipes. A clean cartridge filter. I had a Hayward 140k btu heat pump. The pool ran at 20 psI with enough flow to run three 24 inch...

Thanks, I must have missed that when reading how to SLAM. I'll let it drop to 12 and keep it there. Then bring it back up for a day.

I don’t know why it says I’m new here...I joined a long time ago. The member since date is way off. Anyway, thanks for the inputs. The pool has no hiding spots other than the skimmer. Rectangle 15 x 30. I was using the table by ChemGeek that said shock for mustard algae was about 19. Not having...
