No problem just afraid I was doing something wrong. [emoji4] it took me a week to get to where I felt I was totally comfortable with that thing and it seemed so easy to use. (I didn't figure out right away how to set the pre assigned targets.) Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Ok so now I might follow up with what am I doing wrong with pool math? I got a goal of 2-6 on the FC and mostly because I don't ever want to risk not having a clear pool again I've been trying to maintain around 7 which is still below shock level of 12. Don't get me wrong I wasn't really...

Follow up question now that the pool is clear. How much chlorine should I be adding daily? This has probably been covered on here somewhere and I know I just needed to add what's needed to keep it at the level necessary. I'm really just curious if I'm adding more daily then I really should...

No problem. I understand. The ad photos make it look a lot brighter then they really are. I wouldn't suggest them to everyone but if you need an inexpensive way to have some light for night swimming and don't want to spend the money on having a light replaced them I would suggest them. Sent...

Here are some pics in the dark tonight with the pump running. One is blue the other is red. The red one doesn't hardly put out any light at all. This first pic is from the shallow end to the deep end. The blue light is in the deep end. The second pic is from the deep end looking down. The pic...

Thanks Mike. I'll get back with you on a pic but I found them at Leslie's and then checked amazon. Leslie's gets 39.95 each and for 60 on amazon we got two and a pack of color change covers so you can do blue, red, green, or clear. They do diminish the jet speed a little because it has a small...

It was -0.23 Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

My numbers now: FC - 7 CC - <0.5 TA - 100 CYA - 30 PH - 7.4 CH - 150 Temp is 82 Should I bother with trying to adjust the CH and CYA up at all or are they ok where they are. I know the pool math is telling me that I should be shooting for a target CH of 250-350 so didn't know if being that...

Will do. I was totally impressed last night when the jet lights I bought lit up the whole pool. Not sure if you've seen them but they are a 7 led light that replaces the existing jet and uses water flow to power the light. Not something I was expecting to be super bright but 2 of them light my...

I'm probably not going to get any further with the clarity. Had a rain storm earlier and I had to leave so I'm sure the FC level will be down before I can get back to it. Here is what it looked like just before the storm rolled in. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

They don't feel any different then the rest of the concrete. I think I might have some vitamin c at the house I'll give that a try. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

I flipped a quarter in the deep end and was surprised to find that yes I could tell it was on heads. Only bad thing was getting the darn quarter back out. This is definitely the clearest I have seen this pool since I started looking at the house back in early May. Sent from my SM-N910P using...

So this is TFP clear right? I think my next question is going to be is it possible to get those stains out. I knew there were some in there before but wow I don't know if they've gotten worse or if I just couldn't see them all before. Brushing this morning resulted in very little if anything...

I lost less then 0.5 ppm overnight. How does one tell if the water is clear? This is just under 24 hours after starting the slam. The second pic is from the deep end after turning the pump off for a minute. One more question. Does the pump stay on 24/7 during the slam or can I shut it off at...

Ok. Quick question about the slam. Is it safe to raise the FC way above slam? I'm thinking that with my work schedule the next few days that if I take the FC to around 20 or 22 then I should be back in time with the current burn rate of FC to add more chlorine before it drops below the slam...

Current test results: FC - 3 CC - 0.5 PH - 7.8 TA - 125 CH - 175 CYA - 30

I can see the bottom. Definitely something on the bottom that I'll be brushing off in a little bit. The kids want to swim though so I'll probably let them do that tonight. Should I slam it? I'll post new numbers in a while after dinner. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Thanks Kim for all your advice. I'll get a pic posted this evening after work. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Maybe I don't need to slam it? I did an OCLT. At 9:30 last night pool tested at 4ppm FC and at 5:30 this morning it tested at 3.5ppm FC. So if I understand the slam correctly I don't have active live algea. The green water then is just from some old dead algea that I just need to work out of...

OK Here we go. Help me turn this pool clear now. Here are my current test results: CYA between 30 and 40 (at 40 the black dot is still visible at about midway to 30 though it becomes hard to see and by 30 it's gone.) CH - 150 FC - 4.5 CC - <0.5 (the test barely turned pink when I added the 5...

So after draining about 18" and refilling here is where I stand: CYA - 80 (better but I believe I'm supposed to get this down around 50? so I've started draining the water again to get it lowered.) TA - 100 PH - 8.0 (of course that's as high as my test goes so who knows may be higher. one drop...

Ok thanks. Started filling the pool back up about am hour ago so I'll probably be able to test tomorrow and will post results. I did just add about a half gallon of chlorine just to help keep the FC from dropping to 0 and I removed the pucks yesterday before draining. Sent from my SM-N910P...

Out of curiosity I tested the water coming into my house to see what I might need to plan for when I add water back to my pool and found some interesting results: PH - 7.8 (2 drops of R-0005 to get it to 7.4) FC - 1.5 CC - 0 TA - 150 CH - 100 CYA - no result as expected My concern is that to get...

I've started the process of draining the pool and refilling to get the cya level down. How much chlorine (10.5%) should I add and how often until I can get the cya level down to slam levels? Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Thanks Kim. Ive been very pleasantly surprised with the help so far and looking so forward to having this thing cleaned up so we can enjoy it fully. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
