🤣 that’s too easy though.

Yes, perhaps I should have searched first. 🙄 Although, looks like the OP decided to just buy some, so didn’t really have any feedback.

So I’m “working” from home today, and got bored and decided to try making a reference CYA solution. I did 12 grams of granules to 12 liters of RODI water, which should yield a 1000ppm solution I can then dilute to whatever target. Has anyone else done this? If so, how’d it go?

I'll try searching for an air leak and flushing out the line after work today. The PoolCleaner is brand new, started using it Saturday after I installed my SWCG. Thanks for the suggestions!

It's not a swamp now, it's crystal clear, with no visible algae. It took a lot more work to get it back that way, but I don't like putting 12,000 gallons of strain on my well pump.

I can't imagine where an air leak would be. I'll double check the gaskets on the pump cap and valves, but why would it only be when I restrict flow to a certain point? I've always had to route most of the suction to the cleaner, and I can't have both the main drain and skimmer open, or neither...

Yeah, cavitation is what I meant by the water "degassing". I knew there was a word for it, just couldn't think of it. Here's a video.

Welp, I went from ~4.4 FC to ~1.4, from ~9pm to ~6am... So I guess I'm slamming this weekend. Before that I'll check & scrub every nook & cranny, and clean out/recharge my DE filter.

Hello everyone. I won't pretend to know anything about fluid dynamics or whatever, so I figured I'd ask here. My pump is currently plumbed like this: In order to get enough suction to my Hayward The PoolCleaner to get to ~11rpm, I need to turn the 3 way valve to like 4:30-5:00, blocking off...

Thank you for the reply. I can definitely see a reaction happening in the cell, so it's doing something. Of course, I guess I can't really tell how well it's working. I will definitely try the OCLT tonight. I'll have to wait until the weekend to SLAM it, but sounds like a plan. CUlator no...

Thank you for the reply. It doesn't seem like that since my CYA doesn't really drop, but I do have plenty of aquarium tests so I can always check. I will definitely try a more deliberate, controlled overnight loss test!

TL;DR I can't for the life of me keep my FC up in my 12,000 gallon. Used to use tablets causing skyrocketing CYA. Just balanced everything best I could, and installed a SWCG rated for 25,000g, still waking up with 0 FC in the morning. Hello TFP. This is my first time here, but I probably...
