Thanks for all the advice. My tests are all good today, but I did see a few little tiny dots of green. I’m going to do a full slam now.

Hi, Thanks! Interesting that you can see my logs…cool. I need to learn how to see my own lol. I live in Tampa Florida, and we have had an epic rainy season. We’ve had several afternoon storms dump 4.5”-5.5” in like 90 minutes. And regular storms most other days. So I have had a LOT of...

Dang, yep. Down to 5.0 just before sunrise. Ok thanks!

Ok, still 6.0 at 9:36pm. Will test before sunrise.

I should also mention that I’m adding salt - it was at 2800 last week but with the rain it’s down to 2600, which is new.

Hi, I started using the Taylor test kits and this site exclusively in March 2024, and it’s been going great! I have this weird issue lately where all my chemicals seem consistently fine, but maybe every 1-2 weeks, I get like 5-7 little dime-sized dots of like green algae on the bottom. I’m...

Yep, I’ve been following that for a few months now and it’s great! (I was just replying to someone who was like “so what is it?” - I don’t really know. It was 65 yesterday and I put in the recommended amount of stabilizer. I’m not going to test it again since I’m on a weekly test schedule for...

Ok, cool. I checked the manual for my SWG and it says if the salt is below 2600ppm it will flash up a light saying “check salt”. If it works the same as long as the minimum is met, then I’m good for now. A few more downpours once the Florida summer pop ups start and I’m guessing I’ll have to...

Ok thanks - I was wondering about that.

I’m not testing everything every day since it seems like I’d go through the chemicals very quickly for not much value. When I tested CYA yesterday it was 65 (water line in between 60-70). The app recommended adding 13oz of stabilizer so that’s what I did. That’s been working great for a while...

The Taylor test kit says my salt is 2800. Every time. It used to say 3000 until recently. What if my chlorine is a little low now because the salt cell doesn’t have enough salt to maintain my normal chlorine levels? I guess, would my salt cell be more efficient if it wasn’t at the low end of...

Yep, thanks! That’s what I was trying to figure out - it really shouldn’t, right? I couldn’t get that question out of my head. And yeah, my CYA isn’t really that low - I added the recommended amount immediately after that reading on Sunday, but I haven’t retested yet so the app doesn’t have...
