Due to age and sun exposure my sight glass shattered during last backwash and left the threaded end in place. How to get that sucker out? I read an older thread about this issue and tried all suggestions with no luck. I then decided to use a very small, but rigid automotive pick tool. I...

What do ya'll think about these gizmos making the rounds on social media? Solar powered copper ion devices. Think I'll keep my money in my pocket.:cool:

Is it possible? Sure, a certain amount of stuff from wind, off trees, rain etc. are going to enter the pool. I keep my numbers in check daily. Is it better to run FC on the higher end? My water is slightly cloudy, not crystal. FC 6 PH 7.2 CYA 40 TA 40 ( a little low)

Added 7.1 oz puck of Trichloro to bump up FC at noon today. Just checked FC to see if the number had moved. No difference in 7 hrs. Next year just going with immediate water infiltration liquid chlorine. Wonder what the percentage is for owners who use pucks/powder vs liquid? FC 6 Ph 7.2 TA...

I had a moderate algae issue a week ago due mainly to neglect. SLAM'd it right and stayed with it ... and now I have this.

Completed a SLAM yesterday morning with no loss in the OCLT and no CC's. Since FC was at SLAM level early yesterday morning I didn't check it again until just now and it was at 9ppm after two days of bright sun on the pool. My question is should I be seeing this much FC loss after finishing...

I'm familiar with the SLAM process, but when the toggle is in the SLAM mode it should give me an amount of chlorine to add to achieve the SLAM target.

I would like the calculator show me how much to add to reach SLAM target. The target is correct for my CYA level.

Help me understand why the calculator says the target is out of range given the CYA number indicates it?

Could an admin PLEASE place the charts where they can be easily accessed? The links in forum threads don't link directly to them. Would really be a big, big help for a lot of folks here.
