Hayward. Single speed 2hp. Pool is 25000. Not sure about power company. I’ll find out. When is best for the pool vs the electric bill

I’ve been running my pump 24/7 and the salt water generator is also running. I’d like to cut it down. My question is is it better to run the pump at night or during the day? Just finished a slam and finally have the pool crystal clear. Want to keep the momentum going

Hello Pool shock is getting harder and harder to find. Can regular household bleach be used? If so, can you tell me the specifics on it?? Thank you

Redux cya test. It’s still very hard to tell bc if the whole glance thing. It’s very subjective. But anyway it’s closer to be 30-40. The current FC is 4, not zero. I need to go up to 16. It’s 2.4 gallons to get to slam. But my original question, purchasing double the amount should take you...

Ok. Pool math says I’ll need 2 gal to get to slam level. And slam method says to purchase double. So just 4 gallons will last for the slam process?

So the ingredients need to be 100% sodium hypochlorite?

What is CSI??

Could the adding of muriatic acid be it? It was definitely cloudy before adding the muriatic acid, but the bottle of muriatic acid also says will cause cloudiness. I will do the chlorine loss test overnight and see but it has an appeared that I’ve had any problems maintaining good chlorine...

I was planning to shock this evening. It seems to need it anyway. I’m curious about muriatic acid vs ph down to deal w pH

hello, 25,000 gal gunite pool Pump runs 24/7 SWG on 75% Tested after 7 days away & someone “keeping an eye” (cleaning out skimmer etc) on pool: Chlorine .5-1 pH 8.0 CYA 50 Need to get chlorine up ph down & cya up. Order of events recommended? I’m reading different ideas

Ok. Based off these results I need 4 more lbs. I just don’t want to have to drain again bc that’s only way to lower cya. Should I add now or wait a while?!

Is there a quicker way? The green isn’t algae? Is iron ok? Part of the process? We just drained & refilled I hope not for a total loss?! I’m repeating cya test now… at 50 it was blurry then 40 more blurry. Photo is at 30. I can still see black dot. Does the test want the black dot to be...
