Update: Started the SLAM on Monday 8/2 through Friday 8/13. Every day my numbers went down on the OCLT. Saturday and Sunday i didn't bother testing. Had company over and had some long nights. On Sunday night I took a chlorine test. Monday Morning the numbers were spot on. Letting my chlorine...

Definitely ask your PB what if anything do they provide. My builder provided a beginner kit. Pole, brush, vacuum hose etc. They also maintained my pool until it was time to switch over to salt. Some builders maintain it to avoid any issues with curing plaster finish. I did however purchase the...

😫I already added the Phosphate remover. I'll get a chlorine test done tonight anyway and see where I am in the morning.

My chlorine levels dropped down to zero. I put in a jug of chlorine from the pool store. I tested over several days, multiple times a day. Chlorine levels only went down. I had it on Suerchlorinate at the time. All the lights are green. I gave in a purchased a phosphate remover from the pool...

Okay so my IC40 was replaced under warranty. The replacement still isn't generating chlorine. Water looks like Crud. I've been putting in jugs of chlorine from the pools store. Called Pentair and they asked to have the water tested at the pool store. Of course my Phosphates are at 200 PPB. My...

I have a Sonos Amp in the house. Then I ran speaker cables to 4 rock speakers around the pool. I thought about Bluetooth speakers but didn't like the idea of running 120 volt plugs around the pool. Plus It would have to be buried in pipe. Running speaker cable was a lot easier as it can be...

No I just put it in, after a few hours in the skimmer its dissolved.

That's why I'm going crazy. I tested it and I also take my water to the local pool store. Every time I go their CYA test is on point with mine. We did get a bunch of rain the last 2 weeks and I've gotten a lot of water out of the pool. But with all the CYA I've added I would expect it to still...

My skimmer has a fine mesh liner. That's why I don't put it in a sock. I'm gonna hold off on adding more for another 2 weeks. I'm at 50 right now so it's not too low. Also my pool is running 24 hours. Do you think even if it gets into the filter cartridge it would take that long to fully dissolve?

I have been adding stabilizer but my testing is always low. I have added 12 lbs of stabilizer in the last month. A recent test said to add 5 lbs of stabilizer. I added it 5 days ago and it's still low. I just tested today and its calling for another 3 lbs. Is this normal? I don't want to add too...

Congrats on the new pool. Yes we’ve been enjoying our pool quite a bit. I like the pebble sheen, my wife thinks it’s still a bit rough. We decided against the laminars or any deck jets. At the end of it we noticed they seem to be a bit noisy and something we’d only use for the look. Also I knew...

I am trying to figure out how to program different pump speeds on the Intellicenter app. I can set schedules but there is no option for pump speed. Right now I'm manually changing the speed in the app. Every night I go in and drop it to a low speed. But sometimes I forget. I tried looking and...

Tossed in 3 gallons of bleach, waited a few hours. FC was at 9ppm. Added another gallon and tested tonight. I’m at 13ppm, I’ll see where it is in the morning.

Thanks for the quick reply’s. I’m going to do a full test. Drop my ph to 7.2, and begin the SLAM process. I use a solar cover on my pool. Should I leave it on during the entire process? My SWG doesn’t have a way to power it off. If I set the output to zero is that enough? I can’t turn the...

Finally was able to perform the oclt. Last night I was at 2.5 ppm. This morning I’m at 1 ppm. I believe I’ll have to shock the pool now. reading the Chlorine/CYA chart I see a target FC of 5-7 for my CUA level. But in the chart by Chem Geek it shows a shock level of 16ppm. which numbers...
