    SLAMing and waterbugs

    Got it. I'm probably going to bring it down just because I've never done it and want the experience. "Lower Ph with acid 7.0-7.2" then plug up the sprinkler and or turn the kids loose in the pool (aerate) to bring ph back. Sounds simple enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SLAMing and waterbugs

    Water bugs...? Done!! My families gushing over it and can't wait to get in. Little bad news however, looks(can see it clearly) like there may be some debris under the liner, looks like a screw, hoping for a smooth pebble. Waiting for the installer to come check it out. Sent from my iPhone...

    SLAMing and waterbugs

    Cool. I have stabilizer left and a whole bucket of pucks. Guess I have a decision to make... I'll use the stabilizer. I just installed the pentair feeder while the liner was being installed so I have no experience with it. The girly socks in front of the return seems to mix fairly fast so that's...

    Cya:25ppm think its a good idea to raise with chlorine tab feeder trichlor or is that too slow? Decided to slam one more day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'll do it. And just to be sure...the lower end of my cya range is preferable 30-50ppm right? And if I do let it come down today...once it's below FC:10ppm I should check and adjust everything, yes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5:00pm FC: 20.5ppm added 172oz 8.25% bleach (1 gal. & 5.5 cups) Waters very clear. Think if it was sunny it'd be crystal. Modified steps, going to be filling 3" pvc pipe with cement tomorrow to weigh em down. So close I can taste it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1:30pm FC: 24ppm Cloudy sky all day, guess that's why it's not losing chlorine. Picked up the 8.25% bleach and will be using it from now on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
