THANK YOU. I'll bring my Chlorine down to around 8 or 9 and keep it there.

Hello. I finally got the Taylor FAS DPD Chlorine test kit. Here's everything I know now about my chlorine. Taylor test with regents 01, 02, 03 from K-2005 kit: FC 10. it dropped down to 7.5 in about 15 seconds and continued to fade. So I didn't perform the TC CC tests. Test from pool store...

You’re gonna make a water testing, chemical balancing, pool nerd out of me! I had to look up CSI… but the more I learn the less intimidating this will be.

Perhaps I could have used more force but the blades look delicate.

I did try blasting water through it and tried a stick and a toothpick. It was hard and not moving

Uh oh. I won’t do that again. Thank you.

it's a little high. 450

Just checked the SWG diagnostics again, it says the water temp is 80 and the salt is 2993. That's 278 higher than 45 minutes ago.

Pentair iChlo 30, three years old. The flow switch was replaced last fall. The therm switch was replaced last spring. the water temp has been around 83 (very hot here in USVI). I could get the Taylor salt test you recommend, but it will take a month to get here. Should I be doing something...

Hello. Since successfully fighting off some black algae my FC levels are still high at 10 but I'm bringing them down by reducing the % on SWG. I had a test done at the pool place yesterday and the salt reading was 4167. It's been a little high, over 4000, for a long time. Since I accidentally...

Good to know! Thank you.
