In the past month I have slammed the pool twice for what I suspect is algae, both times for 3 days , 1st time just bleach , 2nd time bleach and algaeside . Water was clear but my FC was coming in low again. Now the salt generator is saying high salt and my Tayler salt kit also says it’s high...

Followed the Slam procedure a couple weeks back and thought the algae was gone for weeks but now it appears it’s back, FC was low this morning 3.5 instead of 5 so I added bleach and it’s cloudy again like before . Do I Slam again or what next ? Thanks

I have noticed my FC levels have been low this year and came out to zero chlorine about 10 days ago, I assumed it was the filters because I had seen the De not sticking so great to filters so I put in new and cleaned the IC40 chlorinater re tested the next day and the levels were better FC was...

Im sorry but I can not find the search feature on the forums. I am looking to add this in series with my heat pump, What does the extra 4-500 get you ?

Pool builder had to cut out some of the pool because rebar was to close and the metal fragments now have stained the plaster black. What chemical should I use for this ?

Where/how would I plumb this ? Inline before or after the heat pump ?

Not sure what they are called but the 2 deep end ports that suck water back to the pump; how hard should they be sucking?

In the process of installing Noche travertine pavers (about 1/2 done) and I love the way it looks when it's wet, I would like to enhance it but am wondering if it will make them slippery and which brands/products are recommended. thanks

I'm thinking 2" pipe in the walkway on both sides of the shallow end for volleyball nets. 2" sound right? Plastic or metal conduit? It will be cut flush or recessed a little under pavers? This is all new to me Thanks!
