Seems way to simple but, happy to hear it. :) Thanks!

There really is nothing to skim as the pool is inside. I only need to run the pump for chlorine distribution/sanitization. I use other chemicals pretty infrequently given the set up.

I've gone down a rabbit hole on this on TFP and the internet and want some advice. I just installed a FloPro with an iAqualink. I want to keep a clean pool and err with a bit more filtration than energy savings but still gain some electricity savings. There seem to be a million different...

Thanks! I’ve got to get to the math part now to sort out how much chlorine I need and when. 👍

Cya test was 50. I did it twice. Pool store said 98. I even tried a few strips and it was in the ideal range. I’ll check it again in a bit. Right now I’m not sure I’m gonna change anything. Free chlorine is down so I’ll watch that. Maybe a switch to liquid chlorine is all I need.

I heat the water with a natural gas heater. It was new when we moved in so we’ve left it. If I could do it from scratch I would do a heat Pump and maybe a supplement. I have Solar panels so we went with electric heat on our dehumidifier.

Dehumidifier corporation of America

DCA 3 ton dehumidifier with a 13 kV electric heater.

Oh and this one was Custom made for this application.

I could keep the fan running to keep it inflated but I don’t want that. I went with fabric because it will never rot and I can take it down and wash it whenever I want. It pressurizes down stream and then there is a boom. It’s pretty cool.

CYA was 98. Free chlorine was low .4 and total high 4.1 (3.7 combined). pH was 7.8. I put in 2.5 lbs of SLO n lo in and 4 bags of shock (oxysheen). Gonna run it a bit and retest. Phosphate 760. Total alkalinity 115. Calcium hardness 195. Saturation index normal.

Thanks!

I'm on this. I'll report back when I see a CYA # - I fear it will be ugly. :) THANKS!

How do you chlorinate? Liquid? What usual test kit do you use? I’m still learning. Only had the pool since 2017 and it’s my first.

I’ll check that out. I do add water occasionally but have never drained it. The liner and heater were new in 2017 so it was drained then. That’s the last time. Now that you mention it. I’m wondering if the water coming out of the condensate drain will be clear or with it still have chlorine/cya...
