Just a quick update on the day's activities. 8:50AM: FC 18 -- Added 56oz of 10% CL to get back to 20 Brushed pool again 11:12AM: FC 18 -- Added 56oz of 10% CL to get back to 20 3:00PM: FC 12.5 -- Hopefully this doesn't screw everything up since the floor should be 18... Added 211oz of 10% CL...

For what it’s worth, I’ve wanted this feature as well. I calculated a rough flow rate by filling up a 5 gallon bucket form the hose I use, and add both the time and the approx gallons to my note. If ‘add water’ were a first class feature, it’d also be nice to keep track of how much was added...

Last check for the night: FC: 21 CC:0.5

Thanks! I figured as much but then started second guessing based on throwing the toys in the pool to clean them. I assume the filter should be running for the 24 hour period as well. The slam has begun!

Hey everybody. I’m about to start my 24 hour mustard algae slam. I took the light out of the niche and cleaned it out. There wasn’t much of anything in there that I could see. I found some algae looking residue in the filter basket so I scrubbed that out with a wire brush. One question I forgot...

Yeah, makes sense. I'l play it by ear and see how much loss I'm getting with the first few hourly tests. Luckily I just got a new bottle of R-0871 yesterday. What timing ;-)

Yeah, I suspected it prior to the drain/refill in May due to high CYA, and it was/is almost like it was embedded in the calcium deposits at the time. There was definitely yellowing on the walls, and in the spots on the floor where trees block the sun for a small portion of the day. I suspect...

Thanks Richard- It’s hard to say which side is the shady side since the sun comes across the pool width-wise if that makes sense and it’s in the sun most of the day. The skimmer ledge is definitely shaded most of the day though, and I’ve seen hints of yellow just inside the vacuum port, and in...

Hey everyone- I got started earlier this year with this thread: High CYA, High Calcium, not sure what's next Over the past week or two, I'll occasionally notice that bits of the wall in the deep end look a little yellowish. When I brush the wall, there's a bit of a cloud, though it's hard to...

Forgive me for injecting into the conversation, and please feel free to ignore the question, but it seemed like Lively tested last night at 11:30 and FC was 24, then tested again this morning at 8:30 and was still at 24. Doesn't that qualify as passing OCLT? I'm sure I'm missing something that...

Well that seems so obvious in hindsight. ;) Thanks!

For those who take care of their own pool maintenance So they don’t have a “pool guy” and also don’t trust themselves to cut into the plumbing to install their own swg, who is recommended to do the install? I could *probably* do it, but I’m not sure I want the pressure of turning the pump...

Pool math recommends a range of 3-7. I switched a few weeks ago from a target of 5 to a target of 7. I’ve been Testing and adding liquid chlorine daily. Typically the test shows 4-5 and I’ll add to a target of 7. Before switching tests were typically 2.8-3.5. I figured it was better to err on...
