    Need to get rid of pool equipment (heater, filter, pump)

    Hope it is ok to post this here. We do not have a pool anymore and need to get rid of all this equipment. Anyone have an idea of what a good price would be and where we should post? We are in the Tulsa area. Anyone interested in the Tulsa area is welcome to look at as well. Thanks.

    Excessive Chlorine Usage (5 to 6 ppm per day)

    These are the two lights. The spa light seems to have some residue at the bottom. Not sure if it is algae. (If algae, not sure how we are passing OCLT though). This year has been painful pool year so far :(. Are these easy to remove and clean by ourselves?

    Excessive Chlorine Usage (5 to 6 ppm per day)

    Seeing something brown at the bottom of light on the inside. Passed OCLT though, so not sure what that could be. Is this something easy to remove and check?

    It is possible, with the rains we have had as well.

    Excessive Chlorine Usage (5 to 6 ppm per day)

    Lost 3.5ppm last two days (both cloudy days). Seems a bit excessive so early on, with no one using the pool. Any suggestions? The only thing that we didn't do yet is to check the light. We passed oclt a couple of times and ended slam on Sunday. Should we add CYA. I am suspecting it to be 40...

    Excessive Chlorine Usage (5 to 6 ppm per day)

    Thank you. The whole reason for considering CYA increase was because of the 5 to 6ppm loss daily, passing the OCLT. But then, out of nowhere saw visible green algae and have been slamming since Sunday. There is not much sun in forecast for the next 10 days to test CYA. Should the sun be...

    Passed SLAM. :giggle::giggle:. Two tests. CC was 0. Next felt a light pink tinge. So calling that .5. Either it actually reduced or washing the vial with bleach did it. Thank you. Do I wait for FC to go down to add CYA?

    SLAM novice. Sorry for the many questions. If I am already registering a CC > 0.5 at night, is there any point in doing OCLT since one of the slam criteria will fail anyway? (I am assuming CC is not going to go away at night.)

    Thanks. Will CC usually clear with no sun? Just trying to understand. Will search the forum/school as well.

    Thank you. Should I let chlorine levels drift down?
