In the past I've guessed with level. Somewhere between bottom of skimmer & returns. Level is usually just a bit high. Was reading a thread re: blowing out lines. Mentioned using a compressor ( we've always used wet/dry vac) to blow out main drain first. Because of high ground water we have no...

Thanks.

Finally passed oclt 2x. Water has been beautiful. Waiting for water temp to reach 60 to close. Decided to close at full slam, no poly. Need to know how much to pump off before putting cover on. Thanks 😊

Ok. I'll start with #1 oclt tonite & proceed from there. 😊

Ok. Redo oclt in say 3 days? And continue slam for a day if it passes test?

Added some chlorine last nite. Tested 7am today: FC: 10 TA: 90 CYA: 40 No CC So it looks like I don't have an ammonia problem. Keep testing for normal target levels til closing?

Level up to slam level?

Will do. How will I know when ammonia is gone?

Yellow out has di-ammonium sulfate as active ingredient.

Passed oclt yesterday morning at 16. Used drop test, not powder to test chlorine tonite. It showed color of 1.

Last chlorine addition was yesterday 5pm. Sunny day today. Also added approximately half of 2# container yellow out directly over stairs & brushed hard to make sure mustard algae was gone.

Well I finally passed the OCLT!!!! Water is crystal clear & has been. No sign of dead or live algae. CC less than. 5. When do I start to adjust levels to normal? Tested fc today as 1. Put floater w/tabs back in pool. Should I also throw some cal hypo in? Also when should I close the pool & what...

Thanks for the encouragement!! I'll need it 🙂

Ok. Thanks. Back at it tomorrow.

Correct. I find this test a little subjective depending on your personal vision level. Any tips regarding this? I still see shadow of dot at 40 but totally disappears at 30.
