    Laminar Advice

    I’m guessing not because these is a hole in the bottom of the housing and it drains into the ground- I see earth, not a drain.

    How do I change/ clean this light?

    I just happened to be hanging over the edge. Because my water isn’t moving yet, I was able to see all the black yuck behind this light! What do I do? Two of them are like this.

    Laminar Advice

    I’ve always had pool company open and close. Last year I opened myself! I did have them close, but I discovered all the things that weren’t being done and that we should be doing. I took a lot of extra care last year to prep and finish up. They never winterized my laminars all these years. Each...

    Hey Mike. I’ve read. Nothing is jumping out at me. I have been dosing to slam at least 2-3 times every evening and at least 1-2 times every morning. During the day, I’ve been keeping my cover on to help protect from chlorine loss. I guess maybe I missed adding CYA- I didn’t do that when I...

    It’s not. It’s super easy. It’s digital and accounts for my container. If I need to hit slam I do not want to under treat if I am not adding a whole bottle. And I never go precise anyway. It would hold up to 5 lbs dry but only a bit over 2 lbs liquid. But back to my original question….
