Shellock pavers with bamboo behind the retaining wall

Thank you! It’s plain Pebble-tec being distorted from the water movement.

Shimmery, sparkling, clear water tells me our chemistry is balanced. Any dullness, even a little, means something isn’t right.

Our pool water shimmers and sparkles when the waterfall is on the chemistry is balanced. Any dullness and something is wrong.

The drops did seem smaller. We discarded the old set already, so we can‘t change caps and double check that way. We’ve always tested the TA wiping between each drop.

We replaced last years TF-100 chemistry with a new set this week. The CH was reading 350 last week and is 600 today. TA was 90 last week and is now 110. All other tests are within their normal ranges. Chemistry was exactly one year old, stored inside. We are surprised by the increased...

I use the $20 molded color chairs from Lowe’s for the sun shelf. They are lightweight and easy to move around. It’s the blue one here:

I’ve had the two multi-colors poly lumber Adirondack chairs for two years in FL. First year was outside and last year in the pool cage. The blue Polywood I got on sale last year. These are never put away but the pool cage screen decreases the UV a bit. Love them all, but appreciate the cup...

We ordered a new chemistry refill kit when they were on sale and have been using that. I’m leaning towards the rain and organic material washing in and overloading. Also as I’m cranking the SWG to compensate, it’s probably covering up an ongoing loss. Thanks for helping, it’s our second...

We did complete the last SLAM with an OCLT loss of 0. The lowest FC has been 5 since then. I’m retired and add the chlorine every 2-3 hours during a SLAM. No SLAM have ever lasted overly long since we catch them so early. I haven’t been running the descent or therapy jets every day and I...

SLAM time again. We were suspicious the water was slightly duller looking. We did the OCLT and we had a loss of 3.5. The CYA is 70 and our chlorine has not gotten below 6. We’ve been cranking up the SWG though, which also made us suspicious. We live in FL and had a heavy rain earlier...
