2 years later I'm still a noob

We had massive amounts of rain so I put a pump in the pool to drain some of the water. Out of pure laziness and because it was raining cats and dogs, I just unplugged the pump but left it in the pool. I come back 24 hours later and the pool is about 6 inches lower. I'm guessing a pump will...

It’s our 3rd liner. Pool company was awful from day 1. So I hired a new company. They didn’t seem bothered by the rust. Guy looked at me and basically said “it’s salt water duh”. Probably another dud pool company. Liner already reinstalled so nothing I can do about it now.

Pool was installed in late 2019 so it’s only 2.5 years old. Is it normal to have this much rust? Pool is salt water.

I just assumed chemicals and cleaning were all included in closing, but to them, closing just really means blowing out the lines.

First year with the pool, never done a closing before. Pool company quoted me $300 for the closing, and then of course all the extra costs come in for things I assumed were included (again, I'm a total newb at this): $99 to add shock, algaecide and metal sequestrant $99 to clean SWG cell $99...

I put it down to 0 and then got ~9 inches of rain. We weren’t swimming that week because of all the rain and I just wasnt thinking about it. Forgot I turned it to 0.

Yeah this swg seems to be very efficient. At 10% it was keeping 10+ FC levels.

I SLAMmed the pool a week ago and got the FC up to 28. Pool was turning green but the SLAM fixed it quickly. Pool is crystal clear. The FC has not gone down, however. It’s still at 28. I also drained and refilled a few inches of water (unrelated) and it hasn’t changed. ph 7.8 Salt 3000 CYA 30...

FYI I noticed last night that my swg was on standby, probably for the past couple days. Someone must have touched it.

Gotcha. Thanks

Should I raise my CYA? TFP says my recommended level is 70 or 80. If so do I do that after the slam?

Won’t that raise the already high PH?

I posted about a week ago how my pool filled up about 3-4 inches after a huge rain. We’ve had a good 3 more huge storms. The pool was overflowing and I had to start pumping water out. Now my levels are messed up and the water is slightly cloudy too. ph: 7.8 maybe 7.9 Cya: 30 Chlorine: 0. The...
