At 7:45 PST FC 1.5 CC 0.5 Nice to see CC fall to. 5, a lot kids in pool today . Temps here in Sacramento are staying well above 100 degrees for a week now. dropped another 1/2 gallon jug 10% tonight we'll see tomorrow if CC is gone. Hopefully shock treatment won't be needed.

Thanks for quick reply Added 1/2 jug 10% liquid chlorine last night FC up to 3 now 12 hrs later will recheck tonight for CC hopefully It falls. Pool still looks good running pump 8-10 hrs a day

Here's my readings after first week FC..5 CC 1.0=TC 1.5 PH 7.5 TA 150 CH 80 CYA 30 1st time checked CC a little alarmed alot of activity this week. It has been over 100 everyday Starting to get comfortable with test kit now

Hello I don't have a chlorine reading yet to measure after dumping a gallon of 10% two days ago. Had a high level immediately adding so I thought I should wait a day or two first. Ph is approximately 7.5 No CYA also.Haven't tested for TA yet. My question is do I get the FC up first then test...

Finally.up and running. Two speed pump soooo.. quiet. Will test water today and I'' ll post results tonight. Hopefully to be splashing either tonight or Sunday. Setup timer to run between 6-10am and 6-10pm. I do have a question. Should take water sample with pump running or not? Thanks..

I'm right there too. going to setup Pump and Filter tomorrow TF-100 Kit arrived yesterday. Already, dumped a gallon of liquid chlorine because I knew the water was going to be stagnant for a day. I'll post my results this weekend.

Good morning Today's dig day coming in to frame out.One question. Quoted $1200 install. Does that include ground leveling? Reason I ask Is because one guy is coming with tractor and different person will do install.

Guy Did you get my PM.

Hey I just realized were neighbors! Cool

Hey Guy Thanks for sharing your setup with me. That's a very similar package to what I ordered. But , before everything arrives I want to make a order change Want to move up to 2 speed and change to a XStream cartridge system. Less water usage(meter) no backwashing and don't have deal DE...

Is Haywards DE "bump " cleaning effective or just a clever marketing ploy

Thanks for the link. I meet two cartridge conditions. 1) Water restrictions 2) high electrical rates

Are you a cartridge filter fan? Thinking about have pool store credit me the $600 and get my own pump and filter setup. Leslie's is putting together some options for me.
