    Before sunrise. It won't be an official test as we've learned to be suspicious of WG tests.

    The RJ60+ produces the same as 1580 jugs. Forget the storing, what about the lugging and pouring ? :ROFLMAO:

    PBs don't understand them so they can't teach the folks how to use them. Or. They do understand them buy don't understand basic pool chemistry, with the same end result. Anywho, very very few people use their system properly. Ignore any stories about them off site.

    Got Schooled by my Taylor K-2006C - Big thanks to TFP!

    I had my own the other day when I watched my FC tank for 2 days. I mean. Alage didn't take over at 12 FC out of the blue. But until i passed the OCLT, there was still that possibility. I passed and it was low CYA. Like you said, all is beautiful now. :ROFLMAO:

    I have your size pool and 1 gallon of 10% is 2.9 FC. We could see 4 lost per day on the hot weeks up here, but thankfully, there aren't alot of those. You'll use that 1 gallon per day most of the season. It's about $2.13 per FC at Walmart, which is the cheapest for mose of us. (Pool...

    Losing FC and cloudiness/haziness

    3 is for the dead of the winter with almost no loss, and 7 is probably enough for July/August but you may need to go over if need be when the time comes. You're safe to swim up to slam on the chart above (16 FC for 40 CYA). Use the wiggle room to your advantage. GREAT. So you get it...

    Pre pool opening (white water mold)

    If they can go that way. Or get creative with bendy funnels upside down, short pieces of garden hose or whatever else you can MacGyver up.

    Losing FC and cloudiness/haziness

    It can be for this time of year. It will likely go to 4 when it's warm out. You are dancing too close to min FC and if it hasn't bit you already, it always does given enough chances. Here is your daily equation: Min FC per your CYA + Recent daily loss + 1 or 2 ppm wiggle room...

    Pre pool opening (white water mold)

    I'm sure they were blown with the rest of the system. But yeah. Seeing how you're never using them, don't waste your time cycling them. Get 2 more people to help flush them away from.the pool if the need ever arises.

    And you're also stirring it up more, ensuring more old water never sees the filter.

    Pre pool opening (white water mold)

    How do you winterize them ? If water can leak out before the eyeball, it can leak in. And then freeze below the patio. At best, they get abandoned forever. But to fix them you'd be breaking up patio. Now that we've seen the setup, you can leave them off forever. Why have the...

    Pre pool opening (white water mold)

    They're labeled 'foutains' with no N. Maybe foutain is French for deck jets 🤷‍♂️ But yeah. I'd go with deck jets.

    opening pool for first time

    Ok so the plug in the skimmer is from the original install and the 2nd hole was never used. Leave it plugged and proceed with the rest of opening. (y)
