    Passed overnight test still see spots

    I have passed my overnight chlorine loss test two nights in a row. Only lost .5 both nights. Water is the clearest I have ever had. I am still getting spots on my floor over night. I vacuumed really well last night and this morning I have spots again. There are no steps in the pool. No toys in...

    Help! Slammed for 4 weeks

    It’s been so frustrating with pool parts. Maybe sold a lemon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am pretty certain with the cya I always do the test three times to make sure I am reading the black dot disappears correctly. The alkalinity goes up each time I put my well water in after backwashes. My pool app says ideal is...

    I did take them apart and scrub. And soaked in chlorine. Might need to look into a different type of ladder

    These are my steps. I will do a OCLT tonight. Thanks for you help. Do you know what these work like things might be? They had to be on the bottom because I vacuumed them up.

    So I vacuumed and there was algae apparently. (See photo) there is also larvae that I sucked up (see photo) I guess I need to slam again? I hope it is not my steps causing this. I scrubbed and bleached them. I have put chlorine in all my holes.

    Learning to do this on my own

    This morning I saw a boatman. I had not seen them during my slam or after my slam. Doesn’t this mean I have algae? I have kept my fc up. I have been putting chlorine in my holes in my steps trying to keep stuff out of there.

    FC 2.5 Ph 7.5 TA 120 Ch 100 Cya 30 I think I am looking good. Do I just add a little liquid chlorine when the fc starts to dip? Check fc and ph each day as a reference? Run the filter about 8 hrs each day? I do not want to get algae in those steps again. Trying to keep this clean. First season...

    My mind is playing tricks on me. This looks clear. Is this crystal clear? No fc lost last night. I have to go to work today so do I test my fc when I get home and see how much I lost today while I’m gone? Currently my fc is at 21.5.
