    So far so good! Still clear! And FC levels are very steady and predictable.

    Second SLAM

    The whole process from when we opened the pool to when we passed the OCLT was 100 days, give or take a day or two. We started working in April at least 1-2 hours a day, pulling debris, algae and any number of things from the pool and brushing everything even though we couldn't see anything. We...

    I passed the OCLT!! Water is clear and my CC was 0 this morning! Now, for the last 2 months I have been fixated on SLAMing. Do I just not add anything and let my FC levels go down? I am actually a little scared of seeing numbers under 10-12. I have also been doing so much work that it seems...

    So excited! Our pool has been clear for the last 2 days! We can see the main drain on the bottom. Have not been able to do that before now, it has always been not there or just a vague shadow. CC has also been .1 and under for the last 3 days! So, time for the overnight loss test. My...

    Liner staining

    Now that our water is clear we can see staining. There are 2 different ones that no amount of brushing seems to be getting rid of. The first and most troublesome, as it looks horrid, is a black ring around the pool. The second is a yellow stain on the floor of the shallow end. FC: 8 CC: 0...

    The 2 circles in my previous picture are where the ones in the deep end are. Here is the third the fourth is directly across from this one. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    I was wondering the same thing about the chemicals. The eddies are not near the returns nor skimmers. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    I got it from a friend. Maybe they do not sell this particular one anymore? So far its been working well. I do have to calibrate/balance every time I test. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Unfortunately we di not. They are solid plastic? and protrude from the wall about a half inch. If you turn them they don't change direction just loosen and come off. We are ordering some we can adjust the direction. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Overnight only 2 of the balls ended up in the skimmer. The other 3 were still going in circles where they are in the picture. Now obviously I can not tell if they are the exact same balls that stayed there all day and I realized that this morning but still I don't think it bodes well.

    Going for 30. Yesterday I got a reading of 25, in the later afternoon and evening, since I hadn't needed to add stabilizer for a couple weeks I figured I'd put some more in and overnight it shot up to 35.
