Thanks Jezza! Just tested...my results are: DATE/TIME FC CC PH TA CH CYA Salt Borate Temp CSI 19/03/2017 19:25 5.0 0.5 7.4 50 75 25 24.00 I will need to test my CYA again tomorrow. I just took a guess as it was dark and not in the right conditions. So may need some minor adjusting.

Thanks Needs...appreciated. Back to work: 1. I went into the pit today and there was algae/dirt, however this will always be the case so will try to find that balance that kills anything that has potential to grow. It was nowhere near as bad as last time as I am maintaining it. The slats a...

Duraleigh, For me that was more than a bit harsh. I have never owned a pool, tested one or otherwise till I test prior to Christmas. SO for me, this has been a great feat despite your thoughts. Its not just about the testing it was also trying to educate myself on what equipment I had, what...

Brushed the pool and removed the worms with the pool net. Did some tests after having the fiter running over night on superchlorinate...still on the SC cycle. FC 15. I only put enought chlorine to get to FC10 so SWG doing its job. pH at 7.4 CYA at 60 If there is any good news it is I havd a...

I have 2 hydrostatic valves. One in the pit under the pool cover and one in the deep end of the pool. The one in the pit is connected and functional. The other I was advised was just the valve without connection. I am waiting for the pool guy to come and confirm though as there is also a...

No to slats... yes to run off but only the 1m paths around pool...main drain possible but i was told its not connected and only a relief valve.... Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

I must have done something really bad in a former life. How do I go from FC 2.5 to 11.0 and back down to 0? 5/03/2017 10:51 2.5 0.5 12/03/2017 18:19 11.0 0.5 17/03/2017 18:13 0.0 0.5 How is my CC 0.5? Pool has a bit of yellow in it. So it is algae back again...I Just dont understand...

Good pickup Jezza. CSI on Jesses' pool calculator is different from the Pool math website. I was looking at the excel sheet. I entered the numbers online and got yours. Thanks for that.

I have a variable speed pump. Which reminds me - do you think pump speed impacts SWG efficiency. The 2 changes I have made are SWG at 100% and pump speed from Eco to medium which is 1400rpm to 2400rpm? Good point about CSI. To be honest It has not been something I have foused on, but now...

Im excited!!! Finally some test results that are good. I did not touch my water since the last test and everything has improved: FC CC pH TA CH CYA Salt Borate Temp CSI Notes 5/03/2017 10:51 2.5 0.5 7.6 50 125 15 3400 -0.16 Put SWG to 100% 12pm on . Before this it was 60%.. CYA was...

Ok...so I have had the bucket in for some time now. The weather has been horrible. But rain not so intense. The bucket water level and pool level are still exactly the same. Is it safe to assume no leak or do I need a few days dry weather? I will test chlorine again tomorrow as I have had...

Yes-dumb me missed that point :pth:...thanks

Ok...good start - woke up this morning and bucket was looking good. If there was a leak reflective of the water replacement values in Caco's post (Test kit in ... let the SLAMing begin! - Page 23) I would have expected to see a change? I will wait till thi afteroon and check again. In either...

Bucket test in..bit windy at the moment so hard to get water level....either way if i have a leak im gonna know in a day or so Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

Oh ..i ha e ph buffer i think...but thanks needsajet Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

? im in sydney k im...so assume anything from my supermarket? Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

Your math is correct Caco. I was trying to up it by around 30 but put 690mg. As the test does not measure below 30 then I have no Idea what it was befoe..could have been zero, and with water replacement since I could be at 25 now and not know. If my theory is correct, I should add 30ppm now and...

I think I will do the bucket test tonight before adding anything to rule it out otherwise it will be a waste. In relation to the overflow and waves, although I have not check I would say it is not a big issue. The overflow is in my pool plant room linked to the pool with a pipe and eyelet...

Could be Caco. One of my light cases developed a crack and it was fixed 8 months ago. So it may have returned. However, last time that happened my salt was nearly zero as a result. So feels slightly different but still could be right. I cant do a bucket test because it has been raining like...

Hi kim...6000 comes from my user manual...i can run it at 5000 or slightly lower...but whilst my heater is not in use should be ok....thanks for the note Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

So I have done the full suite of tests today. Good news is that although FC was low again, CC was 0.5 and water is clear. Date/time FC CC pH TA CH CYA Salt 26/02/2017 15:00PM 5.0 15 -0.36 Adding chlorine to get FC to 10. I also measured FC from the in the return...

Thanks Caco - I think you need more of a break than me! I decided whilst I am waiting to test to drop my pumps speed to 1900rpm and run it for 10.5 hours (11pm to 3am and 10am to 4:30pm) to cover the day under heat to see if that helps at all. I think I have an Eco V setting which allows me to...

Thanks all...really appreciate it!!! Not testing this week. If the pool goes green I will empty and refill and start from scratch. If not I will do the full sweet of tests on the weekend and work my way from there.

Got around to doing this test. Normal FC was 5 (from 10 on 22/2). FC from the return was at 6.5. Not much swimming but a bit of rain last few days. pH is at 7.6 so has been pretty steady. So I will top up with liquid chlorine. Have also decided to raise my CYA by 20ppm.. Could low CYA be...

I have set it to 12 to 3am just get some circulation at night and also 11am to 4pm to cover the peak heat period. I may even go from 10 to 4pm and reduce to 2 hours per night. Will see what happens first. No chance of removing the cover. Need to learn how to deal with the current scenario...

I think i can only set 2 times slots...will need to check... Deep clean....i scrubbed really hard in the shower[emoji12] trust you to remember....no deep clean yet Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

Yes thats right....6 to 10 morning and night...maybe setting a time during the day will help? Sent from my SM-G928I using Tapatalk

Hey Kim, No not yet...havent had the chance. Will do it eventually. The wife is away for the weekend and I have the 3 kids so about to get a taste of reality :) - - - Updated - - - Test results for the last 2 weeks below. Where I went from FC 2 to 11 is when I added 1325mL chlorine. Im...

I always assumed the water passing through plates looking like fine dust were microscopic bubbles? Are they supposed to be bigger?

Pool is clear - - - Updated - - - The cell is 30SC and the power is 25SC. Ihave been told before they are compatible when I raised the query. In terms of how clean my cell is I thought it would be best to provide a little vid...maybe you can spot issued with the way the cell is operating...
