Duh. Yeah we didn’t click on the plus. Works fine…. Thanks for quick reply! I told him you guys were awesome and you proved me correct! 👍😀

A friend is starting with TFP. Downloaded the app and subscribed. App isn’t logging any entries except product added. No check mark available once we enter current level of FC for example. When we “x” out FC has a - as current level. Any known issues? Using I phone 13.

Any CYA additions should also be approached cautiously for the same reason. Draining and refilling to lower ppm levels sucks. Not that I have ever done that…😉😩

Take pictures! Helps keep your moral up because it is easier to see improvements that you wouldn’t notice otherwise.

see mustard algae in pool school. FC at or below Slam levels for your CYA are safe for equipment and for swimming.

Correct on not a filter issue. Filters remove particles but do not help kill algae. The reason a proper test kit is recommended is because pool store tests are notoriously inaccurate, as are test strips. Guessing the pool service uses tabs for chlorine? If so, I would bet your cya is much...

Even when FC is at slam levels if you have a hidden colony that doesn't get brushed, you probably won't get a good kill. And what is left isn't enough to trigger a CC level for a few? several days?

What is your cya level? Phosphates don’t matter if you have proper FC level for your cya per chart. Apparently you have some hidden spots, niches, ladder etc that are not completely algae free.

Which test kit are you using?

If you know how much you are losing daily…2ppm etc figure 4 days and add that much… Depending on cya level you could add some pucks in floater. Otherwise I would raise to slam level.

Salt doesn’t increase, probably the margin of error in test kit. Cooler temps and less direct sunlight reduce CL burn off. Adding cya saves CL too. So just keep an eye and reduce swg % as needed.

Signature shows now. 👍

Concerning FC/CYA relationship: Try not to fall below target of 6, especially until you learn your pool better. Consider anything between 4 and 6 as the yellow zone, potential issues. Consider anything below 4 as red zone, open invitation for an algae visit. If you run FC towards the lower...

Some chemical reading. Recommended Pool Chemicals Check out pool school for a ton of info. TF100 reagents fit our testing protocol better as far as usage. K2006c is a good one too though. Plus 1 on speed stir

Machine reading as in pool store?
