The previous day FC was 6.5. It dropped in one night to the 0 level. I also do not get the comments on not needing more CYA, when it is supposed to help retain the chlorine, and I'm using the Pool Math App to determine the range needed -> 60-90. It's a SWG pool. Adding more CYA makes the...

Thanks - I did a SLAM and it's already getting cleared up. I think it was a sudden dump of all the pods from the tree along with the lower FC and CYA. The dirt is the struggle now. My Dolphin usually helps this out, but is in the shop for new parts. Would more brushing and stirring up the...

Thanks FC - 0~0.5 CC - 0 CYA - 40 Salt - 3200 TA - 60 Pool Math app said to add 4 lbs CYA, 5 Gallons chorine (25 target for SLAM), and 35 lb salt. There's a lot of dirt in the pool as well from the storms and sod work done around the pool lately. The lady at the pool store didn't want to...

I just had the pool clear - or mostly with a little dirt from recent storms and getting cleared slowly, and another rain storm blew in this morning or last night and knocked more of these pods from the Chinese Pistache tree into the water. My readings from yesterday were: Free Chlorine: 6.5...

Thanks!

On the deep end of my pool, the expansion joints (I think I termed that right) are wide with some gaps. I'm in N Texas where ground settling is common. I read a few other posts, but want to be sure how or if to fix these. I believe this would require removing the old foam, replacing and then...

Mine is tied on the filter inlet pipe. I should relocate it I think.

I've used a tarp before but was wary of any heat source in there. If for some reason the temp is read at or above 32, the freeze protection would cutoff. Wouldn't that create a freeze issue for any area not fully tarped? I'm paranoid that my heat source would throw off the air temp sensor...

It was leaking when new in the warm weather but the installer convinced me it was OK. You may be right about the cold making it leak more. I can't see any major flow or anything wet above the bottom of the tub, so assume it must be in the manifold connection somewhere.

As a side note, the system has been running non-stop until yesterday afternoon since last Friday or Saturday due to the cold and no other issues. I do have a small leak on my filter at the band, mostly due to a replacement bolt and maybe an aging washer ring. No other leaks or issues. Just...
