Thanks for the replies. Kids swam in it tonight and didn't complain. I was just mainly wondering how to get it to the required level without undoing the hard work. Happy to let it drop on its own. Stoked I can finally enjoy the pool without stressing about it . Great site , very informative

Ok Soo passed the 3 requisites this morning . Just in the nick of time as reagent is very low(have order some replacement Clear choice) Went from 32-31 , 1 drop of reagent for CC , and water is soooooo clear Where to from here? Do I switch on the SWG or allow the FC to drop first and then...

Oh cool that's good!

And from what ive since been reading, probably to do with the 80ppm CYA making it harder....

Soo.... FC 31 CC 2drops @0.5 !! This is crazy ! Backwashed the filter this morning and will get my wife to dose mid morning before work, don't want it to drop below 31.thinking that's why it's taking long time as have let it drop a couple of times below the threshold :( Running low on reagent now!

Tonight's test FC 34.5 CC 0.5

Cool thanks. Haven't swum in the pool for a week. Too scared my skin will dissolve given the amount of chlorine in there! Usually there is leaves being blown in however the last week haven't had any wind so has been perfect as far as contaminants

Soo, couldn't get home at lunch but got my wife to put 4lt of chlorine in as FC would have lowered from the morning. (I added 2.5lts before work in an attempt to get up and over 31) Didn't pass the overnight test again last night. Seem to have big drops for some reason. Was 35 when I went to...

Here's a current pic at lunchtime. FC 26 CC 0.5

Water looks pretty good actually! Still baffles me that the pool shop would have kept selling me "shock" weekly and never really got to the bottom of the problem! Thanks again!

I tested this morning and FC levels still dropping overnight so not quite done yet. FC-24.5 CC-0.5 I managed to get some Chlorine before work this morning so have added 4.6L to get it to around 35 to get me through to lunch. Maybe this is why its taking a while as have let it drop below...

Ok final test tonight after adding more chlorine this afternoon (Ive used up all my 15Lt drum of chlorine so cant add anymore until lunch tomorrow) FC- 27 CC-0.5

Thanks heaps guys! Just tested again after work. FC-25 CC-0.5(1 drop) Will load it up again and check in morning

Lunchtime test : FC- 21 CC- 0.5 So I see CC is dropping which is good! Added more chlorine up to 31 hoping tonight's FC loss test proves to be successful !

Hi Kim, water actually looks pretty clear ! Steps are also clean as a whistle since my dad scrubbed them. I can still send a photo! I tested the water before bed last night and had FC-31 CC 0.5-1 This morning however FC- 25 CC-0.5-1 It did rain quite heavily overnight so I guess this is why...

Have starting with the SLAM process and raised the FC level to 31(CYA 80). Its pretty much stayed there for the whole day. CC still requires 2 drops (1ppm) so will continue tomorrow. Will obviously check in the morning as to see what the levels are.

Ok sweet that's great

Thanks Kim, my pH is 7.4

Soo, Ive just tested my water this morning after having the SWG running all night. I have tested the results: FC 4.8 CC 1 TA 70-80 CH 150 CYA 80 As I am going to start a SLAM I just want to make sure there is nothing I am missing from the instructions and need to do before hand. Pool math...

Ok thanks for the replies. I kick myself for adding the stabiliser as I was thinking I may need to SLAM it. Bit late now.... I was thinking that the FC levels were lowering because of my stabiliser level being on the lower side recommended for SWG pools and that's why I decided to boost it...

Gday everyone. I have recently bought a new house which has a pool. The previous owner seemed to keep the water looking good most of the time without too much trouble. When i took over things went downhill reasonably quick! Green/black algae was present in the grout of the waterline tiles...
