I have a suction vacuum that I usually try and run a few times a week. Maybe need to run it more often

Thanks! For the SLAMs I do this method

Just saw this message. I bought some chorline already. So I’ll just try and see what the OCLT does tonight

So what do you think it would be. We haven’t had any significant storms roll through and no dust storms either. At first it started in the shade of the pool and moved throughout the rest of the wall on the shade side and then to the pool floor. I guess we will see what tonight’s OCLT brings.

So I researched it a lot on here about mustard alage because I agree, I don’t think it’s common. But, it looks exaclty like the pictures. Looked like dust when I swept it up with a defiantly yellow tint in it. It started in the shaded side of my pool and moved throughout. What caught me off...

So looks like I finally got some mustard alage. Noticed it a few days ago in a small section of the pool. FC was normal, ran a OCLT and it was 0.6. Brushed it away and didn’t think twice, my mistake. Went away for 3 days and came back and now it’s mostly over the floor of the pool. Came here and...

We are purchasing a lot of land and would like to build a pool on it. We have a small wash on the back of our land essentially putting us in a flood pain. I can’t really find any info about it but will the top of the pool need to be above BFE or does the bottom of the pool need to be above BFE...

Interesting, I’ll try to get more loft out of my sprayer and give that a try. Sorry for the stupid question but will it get the temp below the low outside air temp? If the low is 90, and I run the sprayer 24/7 could I get the water temp below 90 with the evaporative cooling?

Funny you say that. I just ran the CH numbers and they are already at 600! So I’ll be doing that project within the week

I have only been running it at night for about 10 hours. I have 4 returns. I block the other 3 off, and leave the sprayer on one and it shoots water about 5-6 feet straight up.

Didn’t realize soft water will be better for fill water. I have the ability to fairly easily hook my soft water up to the fill pipe. So pretty much ditch the sprayer, pipe in my soft water, and just put shade over it the pool?

So I know this has been talked about 100 times. But, my pool, in Phoenix, AZ has been sitting in the 94 degree range for water temp. I bought a return jet sprayer and I get it down to 88 degrees at night. The pool rises to about 92 during the day again. My question is, will the pool temp ever be...

It’s increasing because the TA in the city water in this area is 120. I tested it twice. If anyone is curious, I installed my acid dispenser and it’s awesome! I love it. Got it dialed in and it holds around 7.5ish pretty reliably. I got about 3 months of acid it seems with me doing nothing but...

All the pool info is in the top of my profile already. Test as of this morning: FC 7.4 CC 0 pH 7.3 (added acid last night) TA 70 CH 420 CYA 70 Salt 3600 Temp 79 Normally when I add the acid pH comes down to mid 7’s and TA comes into the 70’s too. Within a few days, I’m back up to 8 and TA...
