Hey Cross Town Neighbor, my pool usually gets some leaves from the neighbors yards after a storm. Shouldn't over load the skimmer basket within a week though. I'll see what the minimum size puck container available is at the pool store near my house. I can definitely add liquid chlorine to...

Hi Guys, I rediscovered this forum earlier this summer after leaving town for 12 days and returning to algae in my pool. Pool was successfully SLAM'ed and rebalanced and has been great for the past 1.5 months. I'm again leaving town for 7 days and this time would like to return to an...

Passed my overnight test, CC .5 or less, water is crystal clear. SLAM complete! Passed just in time as I ran out of R870 powder this AM. Hoping the refill delivers tomorrow. Adding salt today and getting the pool after partial refill back to 3,000ppm. This was an expensive learning...

Water is looking great now! CC at .5 or less. Looking forward to the OCL test tonight. Suns out and now and lost 5.5 FC between 11am and 1. Is that normal or a sign of something still in the water?

Wow, that is really helpful. I think my water is starting to look good. If the sun was out I think it would look even better. Pictures of the deep end on a very overcast day.

Interesting, glad I asked! Thanks. Another question, the guidelines say "clear water". How subjective is clear water. My shallow end is crystal clear. I can see to the bottom easily in the deepend but I feel like it has been clearer in the past.

How much should I overshoot the 24 FC SLAM goal for good buffer so I don't frequently drop below 24? I've been shooting for 26 FC and able to test every 2 hours but i've been consistently dipping below the 24FC target. I'd rather test less because I'm waiting on a refill of my TF-100 supplies...

Jandy 2hp pump and Jandy cartridge filter.

Got the pool refilled in about 12 hours. Reprimed the pump and got the water circulating. Tested the water and now have CYA at 60! Test results after refill: FC .5 CC 0 TC .5 CH 150 TA 60 CYA 60 Salt 1600 PH 7.2 Have my SWG turned to 0% and on "Standby". I am going to start the SLAM this...

Finally done pumping ~ 16k gallons. Now refilling overnight and balancing the pool tomorrow.
