On day 12 or 13 of opening SLAM and first time opening a pool after winter. I've been using 10% liquid chlorine but *just* realized my pool math app has the liquid chlorine set at 6% so I've been over- chlorinating for almost 2 weeks? SLAM seems to be going well ... so well I've only been adding...

FC 18 CC 0 CYA 45 pH 7.5 Opened pool last week and it was dark green, zero chlorine, zero CYA (1st pic) Balanced pH, added CYA started SLAM. Got called out of town for the weekend so I added 2 lbs of hypo-cal (generally only use liquid chlorine but didnt want to lose progress while out of...

Expecting the annual week of winter here in NE Texas and would love some input on our pool prep! My plan for the 4-5 days of lows in the upper 20s/low 30s/ and highs in the upper 40s is to just run the pumps at night (manually turn on before bed and turn off when the sun hits them) to keep them...

Our first tropical storm with a pool and we just got lots of rain and wind and a couple of tornado warnings! I thought the pool made it through okay ... just some dirt and debris and plenty of water to cool and fill the pool back up. Even had about 3 ppm of FC left even though I wasn't...

Apologies if this has been answered a million times! Passed OCLT last night and all levels look good this morning. Water looks incredible. CYA 50 FC 20 CC 0 TA 70 PH 7.5 So ... is that it? Am i done? Just go back to daily levels and maintaining as described in Pool School? No more pump...

Hello from NE Texas! Bought a house with a pool this winter and upon opening the pool discovered we bought a pool with a house in front 😂 Before and after pics the "professional pool guy" treated the pool ... I had just pulled the cover and shocked with liquid chlorine to get FC up but...

New to the world of in ground pools and inherited a polaris 3900 with our new home/pool. Got it figured out and hooked up but when turning the booster pump on it blows the hose right out of the wall of the pool. With just the regular pump it stays put but obviously the cleaner isn't working...
