    Increased combined chlorine despite low overall chlorine consumption

    Ha ha!! Me, too!! Yeah, I’ve been using the same one for over 2 years…and have never cleaned it. 😬I have always just rinsed it out. Oops. Well, now I know! 😜

    Increased combined chlorine despite low overall chlorine consumption

    Well, you were right. It was the dirty beaker that needed to be cleaned out. Combined chlorine came down to 0.5 ppm after that. I got an Amazon and ordered a new one. It’s time. I’m hoping with the brand new beaker, my CC will be zero! Thank you so much! You saved me $$$ to not have to buy a...

    Increased combined chlorine despite low overall chlorine consumption

    Oh, good idea. I have not cleaned out my beaker and honestly haven’t even thought about it till now. 😜🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ll bet that’s probably what the issue is. We do not cover the pool. And it is in full sun most all of the day. I think our SWG is a Pentair IC-40. I’ll update my signature with that. I...

    If it doesn’t clear up on its own in the next couple of days, I could try that next. Thanks!

    Cloudy/hazy pool

    I run the pump 24/7 anyway, so that’s covered. I’ll definitely keep a close eye on chemistry over the next few days.

    Cloudy/hazy pool

    Thank you!!! I’m hoping it’s just some sort of weird fluke that’ll resolve in the next day or 2. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Cloudy/hazy pool

    Hi guys! Thanks for all the extremely helpful information over the past 2 years that we’ve owned our pool. So, our sand filter developed a leak which got repaired today. When I came home from work, I went outside to net out the pool and noticed it was cloudy. Not extremely cloudy, just slightly...

    Please explain brushing a plaster pool

    Probably the same looks I get when I ask a house cleaner if she’d just clean my showers! 🤣
