It has a mesh cover so frankly I'm astounded it wasn't a nasty green monster. Really happy about it though! Especially since I read a post on here by someone saying that some people's SLAM process can take 80-100 gallons of chlorine, so I'm ecstatic I got these results with 18 gallons. Now...

Understood, thanks. Then I guess it's a good thing I waited a bit to add in the chlorine!

My wife can be somewhat impatient at times. :whip:

Please correct me if I'm wrong -- the CYA is merely to protect the chlorine from the sun, yes? Does it do anything to protect the equipment? Looks like adding in the ~5 gallons of chlorine during my 'what if' experiment (should) have raised the FC level to about 22. Hopefully that didn't do...

No -- I do not own a pool vacuum and I don't believe the previous homeowners left one. I'll check in my crawlspace to see if there's one hidden away in there (which is where I found the skimmer baskets, pole, and skimmer net).

Hello all, I'm new to this pool thing; just purchased a house a few months ago that has a pool. According to the previous owner it is approximately 22,000 gallons. I'm going to verify that with the pool contractor who originally installed it in 2006/2007 but in the meantime let's go with that...
