Added 20 oz stable....worried bout adding too much too soon as Im scared I'll over do it- target is 50.(that good?) Pool is 1 1/2 yrs old. Regret to say ive not stayed on top of PH- add acid bout once a week & it's usually above 7.8 so I vow to do better! Will do OCLT tonight to see results. I...

Ok...pools been looking good but seems to have lost a bit of that sparklypoolitus it once had. Can't quite put my finger on it .... But recently noticed a few tiny blackish green spots in the beach area(pebble area) rubbed & came off. Algae? Not sure if pool is quite as "bright" as was a few...

Thanks guys.....yea would love to hear from the pro's here. Was wondering about the borates. Wasn't sure if the low chlorine caused the bugs or if algae was suspect.....

Ok went away for a week or so & had sweet neighbor adding muriatic acid... Here's this weeks numbers...should I worry about TA...he also ran the pool during the day and cut off at night...seems like I can cut down on the aeration time right? FC 2.5 CC 0 PH 8.2....acid hungry monster...feed me...

Sorry, I meant to say that the high salt levels(4300) seem to have been keeping my FC high...does that sound right?The high salt was also trying to shut down the SWG(or going into safety mode).....now this week the FC fell really low but it's been much hotter and sunnier this week. When I...

Also Jason the SWG has been running high and till last week has had the chlorine high(4300) and it's been shutting down to protect itself.... Chlorine levels plummeted though this week...guessing due to higher temps/sunnier days.....have had no rain in months...we're in extreme drought here in...

Ok- will do! Knew I could count on you! It's been really warming up here in the last week so I'm sure that's added to things....Plus I've not been staying on top of things( testing properly) sheepish grin :oops:

No, on the owners manual....or any other equipment. Pump runs 8 hrs a day and the SWG is set on 50%

Thanks everyone...(now I see confusion on not delivered heater/chiller) we also have propane which is how it was heated occasionally at times this winter(at an astounding price)... I think we are done heating the pool for this season w propane, thanks again!Now to figure out how to adjust the...

Oh, forgot to mention we've been running the heater on occasion and just last weekend. Thanks for all the comments...I feel like I might just be able to do this thing on my own....only because of you guys!!!! thanks
