Did this happen to anyone else?!? We completed our SLAM and passed OCLT, and now I'm obsessed with keeping the water crystal clear! I guess it's a good thing! I also discovered during the SLAM that I have not been doing some of the tests correctly. Whoops! On some of the color changing...

Hi, I have a question about one of the criteria for passing the OCLT. It says that the water must be clear. Our water looks very clear and our walls/floor look spotless, but I will still get a tiny dust cloud that poofs away when I brush the bottom. Should I continue to SLAM? Thanks!

Hi All! This is my first post on TFP, although I have been reading threads for the past few weeks. I have really enjoyed looking at everyone's projects! We have already selected our pool builder and we love our design! We are just not sure if we should put in these planters, or if we...
