With a CYA of 40 (35 gets rounded up to 40), your FC level is 16. See the SLAM part of the chart. Each time you test, are you adding enough liquid chlorine to get up to SLAM level again?

Normally, we don't check the pH during a SLAM as an FC > 10 invalidates the pH test. But since you already know the dose of MA to lower the pH to the recommended range, you could add it tomorrow. Just don't test the pH until after the SLAM is complete and the FC drops below 10. You will need...

With our high CH water in the PHX area, you will need to do a full drain/refill every year or two. That's is why many of us have our water softener plumbed to our autofill. You refill the empty pool with straight tap water (unsoftened) then use softened water for the autofill (evaporation and...

How much liquid chlorine do you have on hand?

Add about 40 oz of 31.45% muriatic acid to lower pH to mid to low 7's. Use the chart and select the option. Add enough liquid chlorine to get to the SLAM level for your CYA. Check the FC at least 3 times daily (but no more than every 2 hours) and replenish to SLAM level.

With pump running... Add 5-7 ppm of liquid chlorine - use to determine the amount 15 minutes after adding liquid chlorine..... Lower pH to about 7.5-7.6 using muriatic acid (liquid) - use to determine the amount Leave pool pump running for at least 15-20 minutes after adding any chemical It...

Interesting - post a pic of your skimmer basket showing the built-in mesh netting. How do you clean the skimmer basket and netting?

The longer you wait to properly address this issue, the worse it will get and the more it will cost. Even if you were to put the property up for sle, a prospective buyer would want this properly addressed before closing or the issue may just scare possible buyer away. Their thought may be that...

Post a pic or two of your skimmer basket. What brand/model number is your skimmer. I'm with Marty @mknauss - Filter Flosser works great. Combine with hairnets in the skimmer basket and I get very little actul debris in the cartridge filter. Lots of dirt, but very little debris.

Maybe call Discount Salt Pool and ask. Let us know what they say.

No idea - I saw the "Core" and "55" in your signature. Guessing the Core "Control" 55 would use the same SWG cell as the Core 55. Doesn't make much sense breaking from their cell numbering.

Looks good! Use the CircuPool Core 55 in Chlorine output there is listed at 2.3 lbs/day

What SWG do you have? Fill out your signature with pool, pool equipment (include manufacturers and model numbers) and test kit info. This assists us in providing you help without needing to ask each time for this important information. https://www.troublefreepool.com/account/signature
