Thanks for the heads up! Luckily, looks like pool math knows that, and bases recommendations on the rounded up number.

Hi all, Just wanted to say thank you for the help. I tested the effluent right before stopping, which tested will, so cleaned up the pool and turned filter on. After a few hours, tested again: FC: 0.5 CC: 0.5 pH: 7.2 TA: 85 CH: 250 (might need to bump this, but baby steps) CYA: 55 What a...

A few more quick questions (if anyone sees this) - I tested a sample of the effluent water today, and CYA was 80ish (good news I think). I was planning to test tomorrow before I shut the drain process down. Estimated 2:00pm based on gallons/min. If the effluent is still above 60, should I just...

Perfect, thanks everyone! see ya in 4 days

Ok, I'll turn everything to off position. Should I push the hose down into the skimmer piping pretty far? If everything is in off position (and pump off), then that would be as far away as possible? Or am I getting carried away. Sorry for all the questions.. but thank you again

they're not working - maybe I'm doing this for no reason. My thinking was that the filling hose could push water up through the plumbing, back through the filter - so if that was the case, then the water that is coming back out and through the returns, is only coming through shallow end. If the...

Yep, everything is off

This is what I set for my plumbing valves, with the fill hose in the shallow skimmer pipe.

I have the filter turned off, and all the Jandy valves to off, except the shallow return pipe. So thats the only pipe that has water flowing, right? That correct?

Perfect, will do. I guess I should turn the floor returns in the deep end off as well, and just the shallow ones on, if the fresh water is going into the plumbing.

I timed again and it was 1:12 to fill 5 gallon bucket for refilling hose, and 58 seconds to fill 5 gallon bucket with effluent hose. It seemed like it was aerating too much though, if thats a bad thing. I do have a shallow skimmer, I took the skimmer basket out, and put the hose down into the...

Ok great, thanks for the heads up. I'll time the buckets again and double check.
