Hello everyone. Livelox here. I have came across this greenish lines around the levels of the pool water on the liner. I can scrub them off with a little bit of pressure scrubbing by hand. I believe it has something to do with my hardness levels ? Or iron or something ? FC pH CYA is at...

Hello everyone , Livelox here. I am adding dichlor instead of bleach and up until now we have enough dichlor to SHOCK the pool (before i knew about slam) and adding every one or two days to maintain FC at 4-5 FC. What I am wondering is that CYA will not raise ? Or even gets lower? I am only...

Hello everyone Livelox here. I have came across inside my skimmers that there is a cup that you can put it over the drain hole below the basket and you basically cut some draining power of the hole. Do I need to limit the power or just have it to full suction ?
