Thank you!

Hello! We had our liner replaced Monday and the pool is almost full again. I don’t want to mess up my brand new water so I need some advice on TA and PH. I know I need chlorine and CYA. My PH on the fill water is off the charts high on my Taylor test kit. TA is 100. Is muriatic good enough or do...

Thank you! That is great to hear, I have never seen that mentioned before so I will keep that in mind for next time. We did finally clear our pool. I have come to the conclusion that the new cartridges we bought work but SLOWLY. If I ever SLAM again my goal is to have an extra set on hand to...

My husband is telling me he thinks there might be a small hairline crack in the filter manifold. Is this something that would affect our filtration? Should we replace it?

Thank you! I am planning to clean the filters today and probably just suck it up and do it every day until clear. That might be why it’s going so slow. Unfortunately we didn’t keep the other set because they were pretty useless. I wish I would have kept the original ones we had. They worked so...

I definitely plan to SLAM until we meet all the criteria. I am just very discouraged at the lack of progress and feel I'm missing something, possibly with my equipment? I will keep at it though for sure.

Yes! I haven't run the robot in a few days because I was concerned it might have algae in it somewhere hindering our progress, but have been brushing still. Every time we brush/vacuum the debris is right back within hours.

After taking more pics at the exact same time as yesterday morning, I realize the color hasn't really changed much it must have been the earlier lighting making it look bluer. Still at a loss. Does this indicate our filter isn't working properly? PSI is good, water coming from the jets is pretty...

I did the OCLT and we did not lose chlorine overnight. The clarity of the water has not changed but I took some pictures just now and it looks like the color has changed to be more blue. Is this a good sign? I would have thought I would see a bit less cloudiness by now.

Now we have a new issue that must have just happened because I noticed it for the first time this afternoon and we have been out there a ton! There is about a 12 inch tear in the liner right above the water line. Is this something we could patch to get us through until we can buy a new liner?

I also did the cya test several times today. I can still barely see the dot at 50, not at all at 40. But I’m going with 50 just to be extra aggressive.

Our cartridges are brand new. We just bought them less than 2 weeks ago. Since we put them in, the pressure has stayed consistent at 10 psi. Prior to the new carts going in we would go from 12 psi clean pressure to 25 with barely any water flow within 2 hours. We figured our cartridges were bad...

I asked my husband to remove the ladder, I am hoping we can this evening, same with the light. I feel pretty certain CYA is not above 50 but will retest today to be 100% sure. We have been running the robot since the beginning and aren't really picking up much of anything at this point so I...

I have not, but I can tonight. I didn't figure I needed to until the end of the process to make sure I was fully done with the SLAM.

And just for reference, this one was taken Monday 5/15

The first pic is Monday, second is yesterday and the last two were taken just now.

Even with increased FC to 20 based on CYA of 50, we have had no progress whatsoever. I feel like I'm missing something. Every time I have had to SLAM in the past we have made progress each day. Even if it was slow it was visible. I'm at a loss this time. We opened our pool 5/3, have used almost...

Thank you! I saved the sample to repeat my CYA test several times today just to be sure I'm consistently getting the same result. Should I be concerned that I put too much chlorine if I overshot the CYA? My gut tells me I haven't been adding enough liquid chlorine, but I am just worried about...
