    Dog tie out stakes for pool cover

    First home/First pool

    Just want to thank everyone on the forum for your help. Pool has been running steady with no issues. All levels have stayed in check so far through the summer. Maintain my FC at 5-6 and CC never higher than .05.

    Okay. So raise my FC level 5 ppm higher than my current SWCG level. And when you say check after to see if you are in range: are you referring to my original SWCG/CYA chart range correct.

    Just curious if the swg needs to be powered off when adding chemicals such as muriatic acid/chlorine/baking soda? Was reading my circupool manual but nothing stated.

    Quick question about bonding pool

    Found a old thread on this site with a similar type of pool as me and he explains how he did it and how it passed inspection. Best part is that he located in NY so if it’s good for the inspector, it’s good for me. This site is great
