it was quite a bit... let's say 30-40 spots

I have not tried that yet ... will try tonight

I haven't tried that yet, but will tonight.

Yes, I unfortunately allowed the FC to creep where I didn't want it to. I immediately adjusted it back up to 6+ (maybe a little less a couple times near evening tests). I like this approach and will incorporate it into my regime next year. I agree that the bouncing back and forth drastically...

JoyfulNoise, thanks for your feedback. I'll pull another CYA later today. I expect it to be close to 50 or a bit higher since we've been using the pucks. I'm not sure why you're questioning the FC swings... I do everything manually and when I closed out my SLAM, I purposely threw a few extra...

Good morning. Yesterday afternoon I did my pool inspection and noticed something odd on the pool floor. A quick back story... month 1 of our pool season was free of issues. Month 2 AND 3 was spent fighting algae that kinda looks like the stuff I'm seeing now. The start of month 4 was our...

You are hitting the nail on the head. My issue is that my spouse wants to participate in our pool maintenance program and with all of the "schools of hard knocks" out there, I am fighting a battle. She believes that the sanitizer reading should be 1-1.5ppm... because 75% of the Internet says...

Unfortunately, I can buy into that. At this current point in time, allow me to share a few things about my pool ... 1. pool water is crystal clear 2. I'm using the .5 accuracy testing method 3. The last 5 or 6 tests for CC have only showed a very slight hint of pink to no pink when tested 4...

Sande005, good morning to you. I wanted to drop in and nip at your ear a bit. Since our last conversation (post, a few days ago), I've entered a SLAM. I've pretty much maintained the chlorine level between 14 and 24 over the past 5 days (I've had to step away a few times). I understand the...

I was wondering why the poolMath log, time stamp on the data located here on my profile is 4 hours later than my app data. for example, FC logged in the app at 7am and here on TFP @ 11am. I suppose it's no big deal, but if I was to try to work out some details with a troubleshooter, the...

Thanks for your feedback. I actually bumped the FC a few points above 20 a few times during my current SLAM as the outside temp was burning off the chlorine pretty fast. I thought I read somewhere in TFP that some SLAM's needed higher FC levels... leaving me to believe I was okay to do a few...

haha Yes, that was my mistake before! No problem there. I'll test every 3 hours and top off as needed and update the TFP app. I'm not in this category, but what is a SAFE maximum chlorine ppm that one could get away with if they were away for an extended period of time... just in case...

sande005 Thank you so so much for weighing in on my problem. I feel really bad about my visit to our pool provider today...I had come to a point of frustration after 7 weeks of unsuccessful elimination of this puffy white cloud stuff on the bottom of our pool. I know I should have known...
