Thanks!

I have some build up in only two spots on my spill over wall. Any ideas what this is? Also, I’m curious as to why it’s only in these 2 spots.

Mason and Highland Knolls checking in, losing 5ppm a day. CYA currently at 60. Switched to using chlorine tabs to up my CYA. Also added a 20x16 sail shade to cover half the pool.

@Katygreys Interesting that we are both using Suncoast Chlorine from Pinch-A-Penny... I'm not one for coincidences. Also, I store my chlorine outside under the shade of a tree. Yours is more protected from the elements than mine. Another thing to note. I use 8.5% Bleach in my Pool Match...

This is what I don't get! Is the nature of the CYA test that different between the people doing the test? Maybe mine is much lower than the reading I'm getting. I have read over and over again on how to do the test "correctly" too. This is eye opening enough for my to increase my CYA by 10 and...

Happy to see this thread, as I was curious of the same thing. Katy, TX - Full sun from 9-5. CYA of 60 and ~5ppm per day lose. Seems pretty crazy to me... Also, before anyone says it. Did a SLAM 4 weeks ago to kill my algae and have OCLT of .5ppm.

I guess I never thought of it this way. My assumption was that high chlorine levels could cause problems with equipment and the pool and based on you CYA, X was the amount you should keep it around. I was always trying to keep it at X and not go above that level.

Yep. That is the plan! Time permitting....

I actually posted a video in another thread of my algae problem, to make sure it was actually algae. Also, I'm only getting it on walls that get the most shade (none on the floor).

In my case the multicyclone is on my in-floor cleaner system, so its the perfect application in my opinion. In pump basket catches the big stuff; multicyclone catches all the smaller stuff so it doesn't get into the filter. Basically exactly what you said @bertschb, I have a "hair net" on my...

🤣 I do blame lack of coffee for a lot of things. I started my SLAM last Thursday night already having "stupid clear water". I have algae that only reappears every 7-10 days. My only sign will be the OCLT. That is the problem... I increased my FC to 35 this morning before I left for work to...
