Not very helpful to the majority of users here since they are a wholesaler... unless you just wanted us to know how much profit those "In the Industry" are making... or are you offering to provide it at cost? :confused:

And just to compound everything else... the current timeline has Florence making landfall right around dusk... so we are going to initially be dealing with the rising water in the dark :( Please Everyone Be Careful!!!

Sounds like a good plan :goodjob:

From another thread trying to convince a newbie to convince themselves... he's doing much better now!

Should you decide to take it on... please share your experience too... with pictures of course.

The K-1106 can test 0-6000ppb with 250ppb increments below 1000ppb. I don't believe they recommend you lowering more than 1000-2000ppb per dose, so how is that range handicapped?

The verdict still seems to be out on the subject Phosphates Debate I too have noticed an increase in threads with similar topics.

What... killing three birds with one stone. I'm so glad to see your newfound confidence that you can take care of your pool and glad it's not as overwhelming as it seemed at first. Super Pool Dad!! :super:

Notes and expenses too... please.

I'm not weighing in one way or the other since I don't know your skill level, but here's a recent detailed thread you might want to check out. Replacing your own pool liner is possible - My journey and how I did it

Are you going to be at the house to monitor the water level during the hurricane?

Could the "SW" in the OP's signature mean they have an SWG and that's the reason they are maintaining a CYA of 70?

Great thread! With the hurricanes lining up in the Atlantic, I was considering starting a thread with this topic myself. I lived in Maryland when we got hit by a couple hurricanes years ago... Dennis and Floyd as I recall. Because we didn't have an overflow and anticipated that we may lose...

I lived in Howard County for many years, not too far from you. Not to dispute the many horror stories mentioned here, I had several close friends that were landlords in the area and had great tenants. I know some of them listed on https://www.ahrn.com/ it's directed at housing for military...

Good job vacuuming to waste to lower water level. :goodjob: Killed two birds with one stone! Did you download the PoolMath App? See link in my signature below. It's a great way to get advice on how to interpret your test results and keep track of your pool care. In the Pool Math App, after you...

:goodpost: Very helpful link.

Perform a full set of tests, post your results like this and folks here will guide you on your next steps: Note the CYA test must be done during the day in the sunlight. FC CC pH TA CH CYA Did you download the PoolMath App (Link in my signature)? It's a great way to track and dose your pool.

After rereading your original post, I think you may be right that part of your issues could be the result of the fact that the filter drain plug was not removed for the winter. Especially since you mention that the pool has been dirtier this year than last. It's possible that the laterals in...

Backwashing does not lower your chlorine level, so there is no need to add chlorine just because you backwash.

Glad to see you got your signature done.:goodjob: Do NOT even bother pricing scented chlorine!!! Just plain regular bleach if you can't find the higher percentage liquid chlorine. Prices vary throughout the country and you can't really shop for this online. Have you tried any of the stores I...

I hope you've had the opportunity to enjoy the pool some. What have you been chlorinating with? The only way to get your CYA down is to drain water. You have to be careful how you drain your water with a vinyl liner. This late in the season it may be best to just deal with it in the spring. Do...

That was funny!!!

Thanks for the info. I searched online with no luck...the omission of the "i" in the referenced post mattered.

I'm confused... what does this mean?

Yes & Yes. Just hold the handle while you gently pull the side of the basket where it appears to be attached. There are usually small pins on each end of the handle that get inserted into small holes in the basket.

After you test your CH, you just need to do the FC test until the end of the SLAM, (every couple hours if possible) and whenever your FC is below your SLAM target of 24ppm, enter it in the PoolMath App, then "tap" the box that says FC, enter your SLAM target of 24, scroll down and enter the...

I'm sure they meant splashless not "splashes"

:( I hope you don't regret that decision.

That's what I suspected, hence the way I prefaced my question. I look forward to your findings. Thanks!

Hate to jump the gun... but.... just curious... has your daily FC loss been reduced?
