Are you certain about the 9.5 FC loss?

Autumn is no different than other seasons. All require a modicum of work.

I couldn’t find anything there either. Looks like you’ll have to contact them directly. After looking at their selection I’d venture a guess the blue hues would be blue-based.

Their website didn’t give that info?

Not much environmental debris is getting in there.

Your buddy is looking forlorn with the closing.

I finally got around to taking my old Intex unit apart and it’s in near pristine condition. Clearly, there’s something wrong somewhere so I’m pulling all the connections and reseating them. Slight pitting on the screw heads but bright and shiny underneath, including the backside of the screws...

Battery operated blower works well, too. 🙃

It can take some time. Fortunately it is, otherwise it would indicate something icky.

Sorry for multiple posts. If there’s heavy accumulation scoop out as much as you can to save sucking it through your filter.

Brush, brush, brush.

You’ll be cleaning the filters until the SLAM is complete. It’s a process and not a one time quick fix. If it’s as bad as you indicate it may take weeks to clear. Fortunately, your in the low UV period which will help. Follow the process as much as you can. It works.

Congrats!

Where were the leaks? Curiosity is killing me. 🙃

I wonder if it will work on my ancient MBP. I’ll give it a shot because I get bored easily. 🙃

This was one of the easily the most succinct and relatable messages regarding pool care. I tip my hat to you.

Yes. UV always plays a role in FC degradation so that has to be taken into effect. It’s hard to say with any degree of certainty what the exact loss is by UV and nasties. If you have no visible algae but are still experiencing FC loss overnight that means the algae is hiding somewhere. You...

In my experience this is the only non-lethal method that works. The sooner you do it the better else the behavior is passed on to successive generations.

Algae is not visible until it is. My water was clear but when I removed my ladder and took it apart I found algae throughout the apparatus. That was the culprit causing my OCLT failures. Once cleaned and reinstalled I passed OCLT several times before calling the SLAM complete.

One minor modification to firmly attach the bucket lid and she hummed away. Made very short work of the drainage. All these tips and tricks are worth their weight in gold. The best part? Didn’t cost me a penny. Put the work bonus to good use this year. 😉

I don’t plan on leaving it out during any potential freezes. I do find the auto shutoff a nice feature because I really don’t wish to babysit it this weekend. Online 15% coupon materialized for this. 👍

Found it at Harbor Freight and picking it up after work today. My cover is full with more rain expected this weekend.

Late but still a lovely oasis.

There certainly is an amount of work involved being a pool owner. You have the options you already listed. You can either do the work now or do it later. It will likely worsen and will require more time, chemicals, and effort later.
