Ok. Gotcha. Thanks again mknauss.

Thanks mknauss. Just wanted to make sure. What is the reason you loose the FC much quicker to UV when you are over SLAM levels? Just curious.

Hey guys - being a NJ pool owner over the age of 50 - there is always that time in late May / early June where I once again have to re-learn everything I had "down pat" last season. :) Sunday early afternoon we opened our above ground pool and it was green (hole in cover). No biggie - I...

Nice setup! Thanks Texas. May go to hard pipe in the future. Looks cooler too! ;)

Excellent. That would would Definitely ruin my day! Thanks again man!

Ok cool. Thank you! Here’s some pics. I just realized I need another worm clamp on the connection from my pump to filter.

Good morning! One other question. My new pump has 1 1/2” fittings that I needed adapters for in order to attach my 1 1/2” flexible hose. My sand filter also has 1 1/2” fittings. The adapters I bought have an end that screws into the pump fittings and another end as a nipple to fit inside the...

Ugh. Hopefully not. I can live with 80ppm as long as I keep on top of the FC though I’ve heard. Thank u!!

Excellent. Thank you Texas!

Thank you again! So If I added 7lbs of CYA could I realistically have over 80 - 100 ppm of CYA in my pool now? When I do the CYA test - and I'll do again with my back to the sun..it appears above 80-100. If when I had initially tested for CYA on Saturday and the comparator was filled all the...

Thank you! How would I tell if I have chlorine lock? I added bleach last night to get over 10ppm and this morning my FC is about 7ppm with CC at .5. The CYA test included with the Taylor kit is very subjective I find. Is there a better test? Thank you again!

Morning everyone! I'm not exactly a pool newbie - going on my 5th season, so I'm particularly mad at myself for this stupid mistake. I have a 38' x 18 x 52" partially sunk AGP. I have the Taylor K-2006 test kit. I use liquid clorine, baking soda and Borax as pool chemicals. According to...
