I run mine at low RPMs so it skims well, which also activates the SWG. Then I bring it inside for winter.

This could be part of the problem. Robots aren't meant for heavy duty muck and you may be stirring up crud leaving it to slow the process. How often were you testing/adding with LC ?

Nor did you check it after, before messing with things. Thats 2 critical mistakes. You were about to harmfully acid wash your cell, also on a hunch, for a 3rd strike. Involving a 3rd party muddies the water further. Please test the salinity and report back. *noticing a theme here ...

Do not clean the cell without finding visual scale buildup.

With an above ground pool the new liner probably costs less than the leak detection. But that doesn't install the liner, so there is that too.

We can't tell you anything until you test. :)

It doesn't. It just needs a good 24 hours to mix upon opening the same way you wouldn't trust a calcium addition a couple hours later. Yours has run plenty, so that's not a factor here. (y) I thought about my bench but figured it may pull water from 18 inches down that still had some...

With a mesh cover you get lots of rain dilution when the pool is closed for 2/3 of the year. You either pumped it out or it overflowed. I started draining only the top few inches by suspending the pump in a bucket and retained most of my chemicals two years in a row. I used to lose at...

Was cellulose fiber added ?

I'm thinking it's a sensitive area from rarely being exposed to anything.

No heater but it was 84 on the backyard weather station on Saturday. Lol.

That doesn't help *for* the soak. You're being exposed to what's causing the rash during the soak, not after. Purge the tub with ahhsome at that time.

Mine started working a couple days ago.

Got pics ? What is it clogged with ? (Pollen/debris, calcium scale, etc) Either way I'd probably soak it in a 10 (water) to 1 muriatic acid bath for 24 hours. It's currently ruined so you can't ruin it worse.

With a hot tub you should be dosing to 10+ (@50 CYA) and falling back into target range. One of *you* in 500 gallons is the same as 68 people in my pool, and those people aren't being stewed into people soup.

That's ALOT of words for brush, vac and skim. De-winterizing is kinda unnecessary also but sounds fancier than 'opening'. I tried to make 'summerizing' become a thing for my snowblower and pool but it didn't take off. Anywho, the leaves they dumped in didn't settle right away...

+3 There is no 'keep around' with a FC target. Its like saying you keep your gas tank around 1/2 with a 2 hour commute to work each way. You use 1/2 a tank and put it back in every day. If you're losing 4ppm a day in sunny CA, you start at 6 and end at 2. At the bare minimum when...

The CYA test need bright overhead sun, not 5pm still plenty light out.... sun. Sometimes it has to wait for your schedule and the weather to cooperate.

How often do you typically test ? The FC is dipping if you get alage after fully compmeting a slam. There are no two ways about it. Its not the *anything else*, it's the FC dipping. :) The problem with SWGs is that we get lulled into testing less frequently than we should. You...

Its hard to tell with the reflections, is the pool cloudy or crystal clear but tinted ? Please define low. What is the regular FC range ?

It was wild going into rotator surgery with a working arm and coming home 'fixed' with an arm that was dead as a doornail. Then some days later it moved an inch. Then an inch point 0001. Then an inch point 0002. :ROFLMAO:

+1. Why can't it live in the skimmer ? My dogs hunt my cheapo floating thermometer if it's not in the skimmer. Lol.

IMO, UL or not. (y) Cords rub on the patio. Rodents chew the cord in storage A common fail point is the cord connection at the pump from pulling it out. Visual inspection only does so much and I wouldn't ever let anyone in the pool with a 110V electrical device.

I'd let the Ph be but no harm comes either way if you dose or don't. Good luck with the surgery and have a speedy recovery. :)

That only has more calcium and TA tests, which are both very stable and can be tested monthly or maybe even bi-monthly. The TFpro salt has about 50% more FC tests than the K2006C, and you'll be testing that daily. The salt version of the TFPro includes the $30 salt kit for only $20 more...

Aren't they mail in rebates ? Add $0.73 each. Lol.

The 50 was a fluke.

I hack Murphys this way. If I can easily fix it, it lasts forever. (y)
