Got it - happy to wait until next year since my pool season is rapidly coming to an end within the next 2-3 weeks or so.

BEFORE PICS: AFTER: The project isn't entirely complete obviously - still have landscaping phase ahead of us - but figured I'd share these pics to document progress. Landscaping phase is supposed to start this week. I will share more pics once the landscaping phase is complete to...

Updated numbers after converting over to the SWCG generator late last week. The salt calculations were wrong - my pool must not be a 25000 gallon pool - it's smaller than that - as I added 600 lbs of salt which put my pool at 4600ppm so I had to dilute the pool down to 3600-3700ppm which is...

Most recent chems below since last post. I did a SLAM yesterday since I've been fighting low chlorine levels pretty much since open. Test results this morning show 12.5FC after the slam yesterday afternoon. Do I just let it come down gradually over time? Seems like PH/TA/CH are right where...

Got it - I've got 45 lbs of CH Plus ready to go - I'll start upping the CH levels this evening and bring it up to 350ppm over the next few days.

Thanks for the link to that FC/CYA article - reading it now.
