    CYA Level Question

    I'm glad I asked these questions tonight. Great point, and I felt the same way while in the store. The man behind the counter was quick to throw products up on the counter and whip out the highlighter with directions. I never had a pool problem until I walked into the store. Lesson learned...

    CYA Level Question

    That's a great point. Well, I went out and tested and I am reading a 0 or maybe a 0.1! The other numbers at Leslie's were pretty close to my home test, so I believed them. Actually, I had 3 tests completed at Leslie's as I attempt to dial this CYA in and each showed combined chlorine between 1...

    CYA Level Question

    Wow, great advice! I had no idea you could purchase a control. That CYA dot test (until it barely disappears) had me convinced it could be 40 or 60. A newbie getting used to the equipment. Thanks again!

    CYA Level Question

    Thank you so much for your insight, this makes a lot of sense but leads me to a new question. This week, I went to Leslie's to double-check my CYA because I don't trust my eye on the dot test. They indicated that I have a Combined Chlorine over 1 and recommended "Fresh and Clear". I know that...

    CYA Level Question

    We recently completed construction on our swimming pool and I am working to dial in my chemistry. What is the ideal level to bring my CYA to? When I look at the chlorine/cya chart, it says that 60 is not recommended* for SWG, so I think maybe 70. When I look at the SLAM Chart, it says 70 is not...

    Need to make a decision on lights, are globrites a bad idea?

    I found this link to be helpful with regard to the number of bulbs and placement. If you have a dark bottom pool, it may require a different arrangement. https://www.jandy.com/-/media/zodiac/global/downloads/sl/sl4572.pdf

    2 Skimmer Question

    Yes, the bench will run the entire length of the deep end and will be 16 feet in length. I was thinking that the return was there to aim at the skimmer. It sounds like I might be overthinking this!

    2 Skimmer Question

    Thank you for your advice! 2 returns are planned for the 8x16 Baja shelf. Would the 2 other returns be sufficient? The wind primarily heads north toward the deep end bench. I wasn’t to sure about placing one above the bench? Also, I’m not sure where to place the other 2 returns to send debris...

    2 Skimmer Question

    I have read in the forum that 2 skimmers are the way to go. My PB didn’t think It was necessary but is open minded to it so I pushed for it. Could you tell me the best place to put the skimmers and returns? I have a lot of trees around the property and was quoted for 4 returns. Thank you so much!
