Moved from HERE Sorry to revive an old thread, but what makes it unsafe to swim in a pool with FC higher than SLAM if SLAM is only 1/5 of the active chlorine level of the "perfectly safe 3ppm FC & 0 CYA from CDC"? Given that logic I would have thought that the safe-to-swim level would be...

Thanks a lot everyone for the responses. I'm glad it is still usable. Yes unfortunately TF Test kits can't ship to me so it's Amazon or nothing and only certain sellers on there ship to me and the shopping isn't cheap.

Hi everyone, My Taylor 2006C and separate Taylor FAS-DPD top-up kit (powder and liquid) from Amazon (the only place that would ship to me) and different sellers both arrived with small AND large crystals in the powder. Some of the crystals are the size of the scoop itself. I emailed Taylor and...

Thank you to all for the help - much appreciated!!

Thanks Dave, I'll look into it. Anyone care to advise/share their thoughts on the sand grain size issue, please? I haven't changed the sand yet - thought it's best to get input on the grain size first. Repeated here for ease of reference: Thanks!

Hi Kim & zea3, Thanks for the help - I'm going to go ahead and have the sand changed. In terms of prevention/causes: Clumps: they are soft enough to easily pry apart with your fingers (I'd done so for the two in the photo, to show what's inside them), but firm enough to pull out of the sand...

Thanks! Done :)

Hello, I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. I've been maintaining my own pool for 4 years. I stumbled upon TFP via Google a couple months ago and have learnt so much already - it's awesome to understand what is actually going on with the water!! Thank you so much for all the excellent...
