Chems good. Filter cleaned and flow good but still says LO. What should I do now?

No white crystal buildup. Just checked salt level now and it says normal. I'll run it again overnight and check chems tomorrow to see if FC goes up. I'm also cleaning pool filter tonight too bc the water flow seems a little low (I think).

How do I attach a photo using iPhone and Safari?

This is what we did. We built it last spring. Lots of patience and $$$ but worth iron the end. We paved the backyard too so no worries about dirt. The pool was sunk two feet into ground and we built deck around it.

And pool water is crystal clear. All other chems are good, but CYA is a little low

I put bag on yesterday around 2 pm

"LO" salt reading on saltron retro & low FC- how to fiix? Have 5,500 gallon pool (12x20 above ground). No problems until now. Said LO salt yesterday and low FC and I put in half bag of salt. How long should I wait until both levels go up? - - - Updated - - - I put bag in yesterday

Ty everybody for helping. I get stressed out too eqsily

Just checked salt. Salt level normal and chemstrip says all chemical levels are normal. Maybe I just need to clean cell and clean filter later. I'll wait to end of season to do both

The flow from filter seems a little weaker (I think... Not too sure). The cloudiness by chlorinator is finished. It was just doing its cycle. I just never saw it do that before for so long. I prob saw the ending of s cycle. Now I'm just worried of low salt and weaker (?) flow. I'll check...

Calcium buildup in cell or flow? I'm confused. Should I clean cell now or just wait until end of season (we have about 3 more weeks before school begins)

Just called local pool store that installed the pool last year. They said the cell probably needs to be cleaned. Is this true? How often do I need to clean the cell? I just got this saltron retro last May (2014).

This happened once before right after I opened the pool back in May. I was told to just lower the time of the generator (it's a 5hrs/day now) and once temps rise salt level will go back to normal. It did. It still says low salt now and the chlorinator is still pumping out chlorine (is that the...

I vacuumed pool this morning and then afterwards the flow was not turning on. I turned pool off open basket cleaned anything out (there wasn't anything) then put everything back and turned pool back on. Flow worked again but it just seemed a little weaker (I think). I tested water no all...
