We have had a heap of rain the past 3 days and I’ve had a chance to get a bit of water out and allow the rain to top it up. Ran the numbers tonight and has hardly made any impact to my CH, but it’s heading in the right direction. everything else is going well, FC is in maintain range now and...

Thanks, I definitely will be maintaining FC in the TFP range from here on in. My 24/7 comparison was just to illustrate what it would cost me, I wasn’t planning to do that :)

my rough calculation would indicate about $700 per year ($58 / month) to run the pump 24/7 in Sydney. Just realised I got my sample from when the pump was running on a higher speed, so it would be cheaper running the pump on the lowest speed. Is there a simple method of testing this? It’s not...

The magical question of how long should I run my pump for? I've got a 3 speed pump that moves the following: High: 15,120L per hour Medium: 12,720 per hour Low: 7,260L per hour Pool is 38,000L The manufacturer recommends "The total volume of water in your pool should be turned over at least...

G'day Steve, I don't actually have a SWG, I've got a Rola Chem RC9 and it's not possible to run it without using the ORP function. The device takes PH and ORP measurements then calculates how long it needs to continue to dose either liquid chlorine or MA. If things remain on the right path and...

I’ve bypassed the automated system for now and turned it off. TA was tested at the larger water quantity, yes.

Full test results after another full day: (should I open a thread in water chemistry discussion now)? CYA: 30 FC: 9.5 CC: 0.5 PH: 7.4 TA: 40 CH: 870 Temp: 25 deg C CSI: -0.18 What is advised from here?

Do you mind sharing what it set you back? I’m also in Sydney

Thanks, I will give that a go.

I don't know how or why PH is that low, apart from liquid chlorine and topping up with fresh water (evaporation and back flush), there has been nothing else added to the water. I was expecting it to be super high, not low. My Clear Choice TA test says One drop at a time, add the total...

Another 24 hours and confirmed I've again passed all three tests: CC is 0.5 or lower (y) Clear water (y) Pass an OCLT (y) Last night I backwashed my filter and I've never seen as much dirty water pass through the sight glass. After I rinsed and finished up, the pressure coming through my...

checking in...... CC is 0.5 or lower (y) Clear water (y) Pass an OCLT (y) I topped up the chlorine this morning to the SLAM FC even though I passed the OCLT to give it another full day at the higher level. The fine dust looks to have been filtered out now, but I will be able to confirm this...

Just jumping in as I’m on IOS and think this would be a useful inclusion. On IOS you get a saving dialogue (kind of like spinning wheel) but it disappears and the screen that remains is the addition screen in the same state prior to pressing the button

Brushing is more so related to dust / smoke particles that are blowing in from the major fires several hundred km’s away. The filter has a difficult time of completely catching it as does vacuuming as it’s super fine. When the wind stops for a few days, you can eventually get it all out, but...

As a new user of the same test kit, I too am finding the CYA test to be the most challenging and as I’m also in SLAM process, it’s the one test you don’t get to practice all that much so I guess it’s going to take some time before it becomes as easy as the FC test to complete. good luck
