    Cya at 50, still losing 3-5ppm fc-water clear

    Hey guys! I’m at a loss here and was hoping you all could help. I’ve been trying this LC method for 2 years now and I can’t seem to get it right. Last year, I kept my cya between 30-40 and went through gallons and gallons of LC weekly because it dropped so much during the day. This year I have...

    Hayward maxflo VS 500 will not come on. HELP!!

    It’s been raining all day and I have an auto cover, so I just went out to do my water testing for the day. When I opened the cover, I noticed that the weir doors were closed and the returns weren’t pushing water. I went over to check the pump, and it’s completely off. It isn’t lit up at all...

    FC loss with auto cover

    Now that we are swimming, I was wondering what the normal FC loss would be after adding liquid chlorine in the evening and closing the auto cover? I added chlorine to 6.5 ppm two nights ago and then closed the pool. It rained all day yesterday, so I kept it covered and didn’t test any chemicals...

    Fist time posting! Help with chemicals!

    I was hoping someone would take a look at my log and let me know if everything is good. This is our first pool and second season. I want to try the BBB method and I’m hoping to get good results! Everything went fairly well last year, but towards the end of the season I had some trouble with...
