I have an circular 6”+ underwater patch that is coming loose at part of the edge. The loose part is about 3” long by 1/2” deep. The rest seems to be well stuck and not leaking. The pool liner is old so, I don’t want to try to pull it off. The patch is original liner material so cutting it would...

I close it because I don’t like my grandkids in the pool when I have very high levels of chlorine. That is just me.

No. It has been closed to swimming. My cover is a mesh that doesn’t keep tiny stuff out of the pool.

Ammonia Based organics? I wonder where they are coming from. The pool has been closed for 2 weeks for a SLAM because of the start of an algae bloom. Except for the first day of the slam, my CC level has been 0.

The run time was about 12 hours. The reason for my full potential comment is until this year, I ran it at 50% for whatever time I ran the pump. (The size or the cell is over double my pool size.) Anymore than that and I would over chlorinate the pool. Recently, I have had to run it at 85% +...

So…with my SWG at 100%, my FC increased by 4.5 overnight, 8.5 to 13. CC still 0. The generator is working but, I don’t think it is working at what I think its full potential should be. All control panel numbers are within manufacturer’s specifications. It looks like I will be buying a...

Sounds so familiar. Don’t ask me why.:rolleyes: I am also on a well and limit my fill times to 90 minutes max per day using my phone timer. You definitely don’t want to run your well dry. If you have a deep drain, shut off your skimmers, and run your pump as usual until the water is up to your...

Some good news (for me anyway). This morning‘s OCL was .5. The only thing that could account for the loss yesterday was the large amount of rain we had during the night. The other good news is that I had an increase of 1.5 - 2.0 FC after I set the SWG to 100% and ran it for 11 hours during the...

Had an OCL of 2.0. No visible organics. FC in 8.0 CC is 0.0. Am going to run it again tonight to see if it was a fluke. I put the SWG up to 100%. I will be happy if the FC stays 8.0.

I had the control unit repaired last fall. Basically, they replaced everything but the led panel. Will do “ocl” then test as suggested.

FC 12 (drifting down from slam last week for possible mustard algae) CC 0 PH 7.6 Salt 3200 TA 80 CH 75 CYA 70

I just saw the BBB rating on the Salt Pool Store. They have a “F” rating. Forget them.

5 years. It is struggling to generate enough chlorine. I bought it from Discount Pools.

My Circupool SI-45 cell is on its last legs. Has anyone dealt with Salt Pool Store - The Experts in Salt Water Chlorine Systems ? If so, what is your opinion of them? They list replacement cells at a much lower cost than Discount Pools.

Hmm. My response to you did not post for some reason. To answer your question, yes I finally found the leak. It was a previous patch that started leaking for some reason. The bottom of it started lifting. Because the original patch was made from left over liner (therefore thick), I could not...
