Just a data point, opened my pool a couple of weeks ago. Pretty green. SLAM took 10 days and 25 gallons of 10% chlorine.

where did the extra Fc come from each morning? According to your test data: 4/14 night Fc 7.5 --> 4/15 morning Fc 12.5 (how?) 4/15 night Fc 10 --> 4/16 morning Fc 12.5 (how?)

Did you end up getting this? i am trying to find some info about how it actually works. It's a steep price but i think worth it if the system works as advertised. What has your experience been like?

haha, will do. just dumped in some more bleach. i'll let it run a bit and get a sample this evening :D

i got a little inspired today and just did the cover myself. she's fully open now. except for the pond-green aspect of it all and 48F temp :D

That is super helpful to know. I 'soft opened' my pool yesterday and put in a punch of liquid chlorine, letting the pump circulate it because it's already green. If i don't take the cover off it won't get clear? I was planning on doing it in a week when i had an extra set of hands since the...

Hi again all, just another quick update. I 'opened' the pool up yesterday (not fully, i left the cover on). It's still pretty cool up here in the northeast, but had some time yesterday and was just dying to know if i had messed up anything with the closing. I took the salt cell, filter and pump...

Hi all, just wanted to pop in and thank you all for the help! i haven't opened up the pool yet, but did remove some of the concrete screws so i could fold the mesh cover back and see underneath. The water level has risen appropriately for the amount of precipitation we had this winter, so i...

Thanks! i didn't realize aqua rite T15 and turbo cell 15 were the same thing.

yeah it just seems they are connected to each other. i tried to find my fiberoptic snake to really get in there but i couldn't and i needed to close the pool today.

I didn't see an option for turbo cell 15 in the profile here

Ok everyone. so i'm not sure this solves any of the mystery surrounding this thing but i wanted to update the thread. I drained the pool, blew out all the lines, emptied the heater, took apart the cartridge filter, plugged up the returns and then turned my attention to the mystery pipes. I put...

Just a little update. i spoke again with my pool company earlier today. They said they did not remember where those pipes went, but recommended opening all the valves except the main drain and blowing it out/seeing where the air goes. I'll update the thread in a few days when i lower the water...

That's kind of what i was thinking! It doesn't seem like there is too much piping there. But it sounds like they typically blow out these lines, i just don't really see how they do that. Hoping they get back to me today about it.

I tried the garden hose -- nothing seemed to happen but it sounds like i was supposed to use the other hole in the skimmer box (it's plugged up, however)
