Thank you!

I'm still fighting through the TA / pH back-and-forth but in the meantime I have another question to ask the group: The little cylinder thingy on the pump (that I guess is used to monitor when one needs to backwash?) was pretty green. I don't think it was necessarily the water that was green...

This helps. I wasn't sure if this was something that takes a couple hours, a couple days, or a week or two.

I turned my pool slide on to aerate the pool. What's your best guess on how long the slide will need to stay on before the pH drifts back up near 8?

Okie dokie! Starting the process today. Thanks for the explanation!

I wasn't sure what CSI was and didn't know how to find it. This was helpful Thanks! Thanks @DeanP66 . I haven't been great about keeping my pH in check, so hearing this (i.e. keeping it in the 7.4 range) will motivate me to be more diligent. My TA number has always been crazy high and it's my...

Well I'm in need of some more advice from my TFP friends @Newdude @Bperry @mguzzy @magiteck . I was in the pool today for the second time this year and my liner feels really rough. It felt the same way the first time I was in the pool about 3 weeks ago. It's not the smooth liner it once was...

This is helpful. It makes sense, now, that they'd be testing for the same thing, the two different initials just threw me off. Thanks for the "heads up".

@magiteck - turned SWG off for a day (Thursday afternoon to Friday around 10:00am). So the SWG's been running since Friday morning and my water sample is from this morning. By the way, had a good day of sun on Thursday, and Friday for that matter. Here are the numbers: FC: 14 CC: 0.5 TA: 200...

This is somewhat related I suppose, but is it ok to leave the robotic pool cleaner in the pool while treating it (not just during SLAM but if I'm just adding stabilizer or Acid, etc.)?

@B.Deputy / @omayhemo - What skimmer baskets do you have? I have this one --> Pentair Bermuda --> and the black plastic rods won't fit through the bottom. I also can't take the handle off so if that's a must, I have to get another set of skimmer baskets anyway.

I wish. Just 64 degrees here. Will see if it works (y) (y) What would I adjust? The Chlorinator Set Point % or do I lower my Salt levels (it's currently reading at 2800 ppm)? It's a learning curve, that's no doubt. You (and everyone else on this thread) have been a lot of help!

Ah, you're right. I'm petty sure I've been told that already too. I'll stop adding. Thanks @Bperry !
