It’s paramount ultra UV 2 and clear o3 ozone system. I can unplug it but have no idea how to bypass it and wasn’t sure if water would still pass through correctly if I did unplug it. So I haven’t. Any thoughts after seeing the picture?
Cloudy again..

Ok guys, so I’ve been waiting on my powder to come in since none of the 3 pool stores in town had any 
It just came in and it’s super chunky/crystallized. Is that normal or ok? Is it alright to smash it up or should I leave it? I don’t want to mess with the integrity. I mashed up the last batch but wanted to get your opinion before doing that again. Thanks!

Just used the speedstir for the first time! I am in love 
I don’t know why I waited so long!!! This thing is amazing! Water tested at 13 ppm FC, 0 CC and 8 PH. Since it’s been a couple of days, I’m going to do another OCLT and see how it goes. Water is still crystal clear. Wish me luck! I’ll report back tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

YAY SPEEDSTIR!!! Glad you liked the recommendation. Hate to have you spend $30 and be disappointed. I wasn't.
Did you unplug the UV? Did you empty the Chlorinator?
Looking forward to results!!!

I stopped recommending that people buy one because they’re amazing. It was too cliche’ and blah blah blah.Just used the speedstir for the first time! I am in love
Now I recommend that they go try and take somebody else’s away. I also advise them to be prepared to fight dirty.
It’s so much easier! Sometimes I think that on the tube that comes with the kit, the PH color chart being right there would mess with me if I didn’t hold it just right. Now I don’t have to worry about that!

I have that weir door. If you look at the picture of the door itself, see the tabs on the bottom left and right? You press those in and push door towards the skimmer basket to get the door out. It reinstalls in reverse and should snap back in place. I believe to get to them you reach in through the skimmer opening on pool deck
UV is unplugged and the chlorinator has been empty for some time now. I’m really hoping that not being able to test the last 3 days hasn’t set me back too far. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!
Thank you!! I will give that a try when my husband is home and able to give me a hand.
Ok, so last night before bed I check my FC twice and got 10 ppm both times. I didn’t want to bring it back to shock level until I knew for sure what I was dealing with. I’ve gone through too much LC..this morning I tested 3 times and got 9.5 ppm, 10 and 9.5! I logged the 9.5 since I got it twice. CC was 0. Do you think it’s safe to say I’m ok? I’ll backwash this afternoon. We are having people over next weekend and I’m already terrified that my water will turn cloudy again.

Looks like you definitely passed your OCLT. 
Time to enjoy your pool. 
If you expect a large gathering of swimmers this weekend, you can always bump-up the FC by a couple ppm as insurance from the heavy bather load.

Water is stupid clear 
OCLT is 1 or less. (3 times. 0/.5/0)
CC is .5 or less.

Awesome!!! Don’t fear!!!! If it makes you feel better, while people are there, test in the middle of the day and add chlorine to keep it in target range! No need to wait until the end of the day! Don’t fear, you have all the tools and knowledge, just keep your FC in target range and enjoy!!!
Just checked my FC, twice, and it’s down to 3.5 (both times) so now it’s under range again…Should I add CYA? I don’t understand why I lose so much.
Stay away from minimum and most likely not. That may prove to be tricky with so much loss. I myself am at a loss. **Hang tight for the others thoughts too** but my vote would be to raise the cya by 10 at this point. You passed with no sun last night and then promptly lost 6 or 6.5 ppm today.
Right! It makes no sense to me. I hate to raise the cya in case I have to slam again at some point, but I feel it’s too risky not too if I’m losing this much to sunlight. Also, the LC I’m using is Pool Essentials from Walmart or Lowe’s. Is that a decent brand. It is not expired.
