Thank you very much Michael!

Hi Michael, thank you for sharing such great information. We currently have a Zodiac MX8 pool cleaner that has lasted about 6 years but it is a suction cleaner and we are wanting to replace with a robot cleaner. While the Zodiac has been great at climbing walls, it is not great at cleaning the...

I agree completely. I was reviewing the levels against the salt water chlorine chart and CYA levels found on this forum and had a light bulb moment. Really appreciate all the information on TFP - Also, thank you for the screen shot earlier as I didn’t realize you could check the SWG in effect of...

Yes it is in a cage. Mainly due to mosquitos as we have minimal landscape and trees by the pool itself. We have also clean the filter more frequently than we do during our so called winter time.

Thank you Allen - We are ready to start the SLAM process. The one element that has changed a lot is we have had an unusually high amount of rain in the past month in the Tampa Bay Area. The first 4 days of the month generated more rain than we have had all year so I’m thinking that is...

Thank you so much - this is very helpful. While we have the % set as a baseline, each time we go into the system the Chlorinator is showing ‘Chlorinator Off’ - do you think this is equivalent to it being on standby? What is odd is we haven’t changed our % since we put the pool in 10 years ago...

We have the % set at 35% and run the pool for 10hrs per day.

We plan on starting the SLAM process tonight but trying to understand why the Chlorinator is not generating chlorine and keeps shutting itself off when it had enough salt in the water. We are very familiar with the SLAM process and have all the chemicals needed but our concern is why isn’t the...

After noticing an unusual decline in Salt and Chlorine readings, we noticed our Chlorinator keeps shutting off. We will turn it on and then within minutes it is off again. I’m at a loss of where to go after troubleshooting the best we could - hoping someone here may be able to offer some advise...

Thank you - this is very helpful. I feel like I need a decoder ring to translate what 'liquid chlorine' actually is when looking at product names. I also didn't find it on the list in the PoolMath app section of "effects of adding" - have to assume Bleach is used interchangeably with the term...

I am just not understanding the algae comment and why still to do the SLAM process. I have read the articles and links and I clearly don't understand as in the article it states: When should I SLAM? If you have ANY of the following: Visible algae in your pool CC level above 0.5 ppm Loss of...

I've read the SLAM process but curious why you are advising it? We do not have any algae in the pool and since we did the shock on the 4/18 we do not have any cloudiness. I'm also curious the advise to add FC as the level is already at 15 and TC is also at 15. We have been checking the levels...

We have a 11,000 gal plaster SWG pool and live in Brandon Florida. Our issues started on 4/18 where we got our water tested at Leslies and they had us shock the pool. We went in because the water was getting a bit cloudy. FC: 2.07 TC: 2.12 PH: 7.8 TA: 227 (High) CH: 383 CYA: 5 (very low)...
