    Chlorinator

    I’ve got my chlorinator on 100% and can’t keep the FC at 7 where it needs to be. It’s at 3. Help!

    I turned the swg off last time I did the slam. Is that what you recommend? - - - Updated - - - I almost feel like I'm having trouble getting the swg to keep the FC stable and that it would be easier to not use it.

    It doesn't budge when I brush it and I'm noticing some green areas on other parts. If I start the slam again is it safe for the kids to swim in?

    It's just on the beach entry of the pool. It does this ever summer.

    What type of algae is it? Do I need to start the slam again? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

    Yes, I've waited several days after turning it down before resting again so maybe I need to turn down the run time. I just added some more stabilizer as well.

    I used the powder and drops to find the FC which is 10.5. The CC is .5. It is sunny here in Paradise today and I checked outside in direct sunlight.

    I turned down the swg to 20% and the chlorine is still running high. I also can't get the CYA to budge from 50-60. I have added stabilizer twice. FC is 10.5.

    I have the swg set on 40% and it's still high so I just bumped it down to 20%. What's the norm to have them set at?

    I ended up using the whole bottle.

    I have used a gallon and a half of the liquid and it's still not up to 70. From the calculations it should be. What could cause this?

    I believe I'll need a whole hug and a tad of another.

    Yes, the pool store was trying to talk me into something else. And not as much as I needed. Can I pour it all at once or spread it out? I read it might lower the ph.

    I see that. I just got some. I have learned so much doing this. Apparently, our builders "pool school" was pointless. I have not once ever added stabilizer in the 5ish years we've had the pool. Had no clue I had to.

    Can liquid not be used?

    I need help with algae!

    Yes, that's what I mean. When I test for cya it's still 30. How would I make it 70?

    What's the target FC when the chlorinator is on. Not during the slam.

    Passed the oclt test last week. I retested everything today. I know the FC is high. I need to turn down the chlorinator. I also need to add a little acid. Otherwise, how do these numbers look? TA- 125 CH- 375 FC-21.5 CC-.5 TC-22 CYA-30 pH- 7.8

    Didn't pass the oclt test. I tested after the sun was up. About 8am. Was that too late?
  23. Hwilliams4

    I need help with algae!

    Cc is .5 or less, water is clear, now to pass the oclt test tonight. What comes after passing the oclt? Start back up the chlorinated? What levels to keep it at?

    Great, I will recheck everything. Thank you!

    When is the slam done? I've been doing the slam for probably three weeks, can someone give me all the rules of how to know you're done?

    I have been right at 16 all day today. That's where it was when I got up this morning and hasn't changed. I can still see a little green on the grout. And when I brush the bottom it clouds up brown.

    How is it going for you?

    I need help with algae!

    Ok, I didn't realize it was this lengthy of a process. Makes me feel better. Although we'll have to go out of town for a funeral in the near future. Not sure how that will effect my progress.

    I need help with algae!

    I feel like this isn't working. I'm rechecking the cya to make sure I'm using the correct slam level. I can still see green in hard to get to brushing areas. And I can't get it to stay around the 16 it's supposed to be.

    I need help with algae!

    Will do! I've added it twice today and have checked regularly.
