Thanks. Yes, I’m not sure a SLAM will be needed either. No problem if it is though. I am interested in the filter fibre, especially to clear the last bit. Backwashing quickly and more often shouldn’t be a problem now. Will look into it. I’ve heard the pros and cons before but never used it.

I looked at the quickdams and they look good but didn’t have time for postage. I’ve just dug back all the river rock and put in a solid garden edge between the pavers and drain. Hoping it does enough to redirect any excess water with this next inundation. On a positive note, the pool is looking...

Yep, been doing that plus added salt yesterday. FC is sitting at 6 with CC currently 0. FC hasn’t dropped below 3.5, which was the first test straight after the event. Still expecting to SLAM after I do an OCLT on Friday night.

Perfect!

Sorry you’re dealing with this crazy weather too. Glad to hear your pool is looking much better. I haven’t slammed yet as still getting everything balanced and clean before doing an OCLT… plus I’m working so don’t have time to SLAM. Maybe on the weekend. Will definitely do as you suggest and try...

Absolutely! We are very thankful. I think I’m just suffering from pool build ptsd, which anyone who was around at the time might recall the nightmare that was.

Thanks. I’ll stop panicking I think. It’s just a shock to see.

Looking better. Hubby has just gone out to get pool supplies. I think running the robot early morning with the pump off help a lot. Frustratingly, it doesn’t seem to be picking much up so probably going to be a long process even after I get the water balanced. No idea how much dirt is on the...

Thanks. Sorry you’ve been dealing with similar. Robot is on its 3rd run and not doing much but likely because I have the filter running. First run was with extra fine cartridge. Second, regular, which collected almost nothing. It’s in again with the extra fine. Will try again in the morning...

Thank you.

Thinking I won’t add any cya yet and just keep an eye on the FC. It’s not sunny and I’d prefer to use less LC for a SLAM.

Thanks so much! I was wondering if it was alright to put the robot in. Will put him to work and try to balance the water the best I can with what I have. I don’t have salt (maybe one bag) but can use LC. Have calcium, alkalinity, cya.

Thanks Charlie. Our rain is over where we are. Maybe 10-20mm a day for the next few days. I was almost hoping if I vacuumed to waste (something I’ve never needed to do so need to YouTube) that more rain would refill.
