Current testing: FC 10 CC 0.5 pH 8.0 TA 100 CYA 60 NaCl 3400 I added 3 cups muriatic just now. 3 days ago I was at 18 FC. 5 days ago I was at 6.5. 5 days ago, I dumped in 5 gallons of chlorine. It was a little excessive but at the time I thought I was battling MA hence the higher Cl levels...

It has not responded to my SLAM. Strange. I was at around 40 ppm for 3 days. Water is clean otherwise.

Here is what I have. Disregard the mango leaf. This is in a few areas of the pool and always shows up in those areas most likely due to the water circulation. I cannot do a pH test as my FC is too high for an accurate reading. I posted that my pH was 7.6 prior to SLAMing for MA. CYA was...

I learned from a prior post about MA that OCLT doesn't matter. Is that incorrect? My water is otherwise crystal clear.

Why was this post moved? It was appropriate to the convo in the other thread. Additionally, those that have replied on the other thread, and other members, may find value in it. Doesn't make sense to create another thread for a discussion that is ongoing. SMH

Following this thread with interest as I too have been battling this. It has been windy here for about a week. Could it just be pollen being blown in? I don't know. About 5 days ago I was at 6 ppm FC. Dumped 5 gallons of Cl into about 11000 gallons. pH was at 7.6. Pump has been on for 4...

My CC is at 0.5. Should I be concerned? Water is clear. My FC is at 7.0. I like to keep it a little higher as my power frequently blinks in the summertime and the pump doesn't always come back on. If I'm at work, the SWG will not run for a day. CYA around 60.

Living in SoFla, we are getting heavy rains pretty much every day now. I was a little negligent on my testing process and things kind of got away from me. No, I didn't have an algae bloom but my Cl got low due to having low salt. Got my salt up to 3200 now (using the reagant test, not the...

I didn't taste it. But I do love me a Baby Ruth.:cool:

This morning I walked out and noticed two turds in our pool. I'm guessing it was one of the feral cats around here (that's a different story). I scooped out what I could but didn't get it all. So I vacced and backflushed. My Cl is maintained at around 8. I'm wondering if I should jack it up...

It's an Intex. I know. Pain in the.... I picked up a 2" threaded cap just to see if it fit and it does.

I am looking to replace the flex hose on my pool. I'm in need of a couple threaded fittings that would enable me to go from the 2" threaded discharge to PVC pipe. I'm not sure what the fitting is called. A 2" female adapter fits where the gray nut is attached. However, I would prefer to...

I'll ask him his CYA and show him this chart. Thanks y'all.

I know. It's not my issue. I'm trying to help this guy out but he is a hard headed.

I have. He says he doesn't want his kids in a pool with 6-10 Cl. I don't know his CYA levels.

So I'm in a discussion with a co-worker who manually manually doses his pool with Cl. He does not have a SWG. I told him I keep my Cl level at around 8-10. He says, "that's too high, I wouldn't want my kids swimming in that." I tried to explain to him that those levels are perfectly safe and...

K. Thanks.

Sorry for being redundant here. Curious again at what level of FC does the pH test become accurate? I know that high FC can skew the pH test. Just can't remember the level of FC. I promise I won't ask this question again. At least until I ask it again. LOL Thanks.

I will try that. Thanks.

Here are some pics.

I want to get rid of my copper electrode housing on my Intex pool. I have read it is not necessary. It has begun leaking a little too so now is the time. Wondering if these fittings are standard sized PVC fittings/threads or if they are proprietary. I would like to just run PVC from the pump...

This is my first summer with my pool. Setup last fall and have been utilizing the expertise here to get it just right. My chemistry is doing great but I still need to work on my hard piping of the the pump as I'm still on the flex provided by the mfg. It's too hot here in SoFla to do much of...

Thanks Deb. I did not see this reply. My notifications sometimes get munged up. :D Love the pun. Good job.

I'm still a rookie at this but have SLAMed twice. A couple comments. You gotta be diligent in maintaining your FC at SLAM level. Use the pool math calculator to determine your additions and test a few times a day. Remember, it's okay to go over a little but don't let it drift too low. Oh...
