    Citric Acid Consuming FC

    I did a citric acid treatment + Jack’s Purple to whiten my stairs a few days ago and now I’m experiencing high FC loss. My CC have been 0 all week. My pool is crystal clear.

    Staining From Reagents

    Anyone have trouble with getting stains on your hands that won’t come off after testing your water? The stains are a dark black and seem to last until the skin is sloughed off. I’m not sure if the stain is from the fas-dpd reagent or the phenol reagent for ph. The staining on my hands really...

The pool store gave me some quarter shaped tablet that seemed to run the stain right off but I never got around to following up on what it was and how I could get my hands on a larger amount. Anyone know how to...

    Dolphin S200

    I just recently received my new Dolphin S200. The pool company is coming out this Thursday to open my pool and I'd love to get a jump start on cleaning. Is there any harm in running the Dolphin while the mesh safety cover is still attached? Thanks, Chad

    First Timer

    What’s the point of the weekly scheduler?

    I just got my new Warrior SE, my first robot. What I can’t figure out from the instructions is the point of the weekly scheduling feature. If you have to manually place the unit in the pool how does the schedulers provide any additional convenience? How are you all using this feature? Thanks, Chad
