Awesome. Yeah the deep end has some trees that over hang it. By my previous numbers if I’m not mistaken I passed the OCLT correct? This morning I woke up and there were so many ants around the pool!! I thought that a storm had passed over but it was a bunch of bundled dead ants floating on...

Last night was FC: 7.5 CC: 0 This AM FC: 7.5 CC: 0 !!! Filters finally last me longer than 20 minutes lol. Do I keep the filter running the entire time during the season?

FC: 4.5 CC: 0 CYA: 20 PH 7.2 Water is actually pretty clear now. I can see the bottom of the deep end. I finished taking out all the leaves from the deep end. It felt endless but man does this feel great!!! I will add some Stablizer to get my CYA back up to 20ish. Then hopefully pass the...

Forgot to add test results. FC: 3 CYA: 20 (I’m guessing lower due to the water exchange) PH: 7.3.

It slid super easy along the water but getting jt out was a pain! It was so slippery and really heavy lol. Grabbing it was half the battle. I think I’ll try that later today. Idk why I had this irrational fear that even tho my water is semi clear now that if I went in I would melt lol.

So after a week I’m back in town! Pool was surprisingly clear. My lady poured half a gallon in AM half in PM. Only thing that slipped her mind was that our pool leaks so I lost about 8” plus it was blazing hot. In the low end I can clearly see the bottom and in the deep end I can just about...

Ok cool FC: 15.5 CC: 0.5 PH: 7.2 TA: 50 CYA: 40 Brushed pool, swapped filters, deep leaf raked pool. Cleaned out all the filters for easy swapping also.

Ok will do. I noticed that my water isn’t dropping like it was before? I’m not sure if it began when I figured out the filter issue or when I removed the deep end ladder. Since I did both of those the same day lol. Also I’m traveling for a week. I’ll have my pops taking care of the pool would...

FC: 17.5 It’s definitely bluer than yesterday but it has a hazy mess to it this morning. FC dropped by 1.5. I’m not sure if it matters but we’ve had showers off and on pretty much all week. It’s also been cloudy the last 5 days. Yeah the comb helps a ton it cleans them so thorough!

Omg I ordered an aqua comb and it’s so great. I had a filter sitting in a solution overnight and cleaned it with an aqua comb and the filter pressure was the same as a brand new one!!! I added a bit of chlorine before I went out today while it was pouring so I didn’t get a chance to test it. I...

Ah yes I did that but it was pre my filter issue. So the socks ended up becoming like a bean bag sort of thing lol. That’s always a good feeling to fix something up and make it your own. Hence the reason I’m fighting with the pool haha. I can’t wait until I get to jump into pool hopefully...

Would have loved to had your company when we bought the place! Two 30 yard dumpsters from gutting and remodeling the interior entirely lol. Am just now getting to the exterior of the house so I figured I’d start with what I’d deem the most difficult first (the pool) lol. So soaking the...

I wish I knew lol! I’m guessing I do but I can’t see the bottom yet. The reason I lean towards yes is because sometimes in the pump basket I’ll find a leaf or two but I’d have checked the skimmer and recently skimmed the pool so this lead sort of would come out of no where lol. More progress...

Also I noticed my skimmer has two holes in it. Should one of these be plugged? There’s like a floating piece attached to it that I can move around.

Definitely was a bit more bluer today. Filter ran longer without me having to swap it out today also. In the deep end I feel like there may be some large items but I can’t seem to grab them. I for one know that it’s at least a vacuum head (I lost it) and a leaf eater bag (also lost by me). But...

FC: 9.5 CC: 0.5 FC dropped quite a bit which I guess is a good thing currently? (Cloudy all day) Filter is running better.

Someone told me that it’s always best to shoot for half of your target CYA then adjust accordingly 48 hours later or so. Helps prevent from overshooting

It’s like an aqua green color. Definitely more of a shade of blue than it was two days ago before beginning SLAM. This AM. FC: 11.5 CC: 1 CYA: 30

As of a few minutes ago. Brushed pool. Cleaned filter. FC: 12 CYA: 30

The pump issue was indeed the filter. I installed the one I ordered today and it ran great for like 4 hours began with the pressure at 5 and when it started acting funny the gauge was around 25 4 hours later. I’m cleaning it out and letting the other soak. They aren’t terribly expensive so I...

I sure have I have been brushing in the morning and when I get back from work I use the leaf eater and brush again. Plus every chance I get I come out to see if the water is clear yet haha. Yep I tested again today in the afternoon and it was definitely closer to 30.

Ok awesome I will use CYA of 30 in measurements. Ok cool I’ll give it a nice vacuum today and keepnpost updates. I have a ton of tiny white particles floating in my pool and was wondering what that was. I guess that’s a good thing! The algae on the bottom is like a very dark green/ brownish...

I don’t think I posted it but no as of yesterday I’m closer to 30 I’m using pool math at 28 which tells me to bump up to 12. That’s what I left it at this AM. It gets hazy between 40-30 but between 20-30 it disappears. I may give that a go today and see how that works! Also had no idea about...

I swapped to another one that I had cleaned.l but “looked dirty” so I was not confident in using and I have much more pool movement now! When I vacuum the pool should I vacuum to the waste or back into the filter?? This morning FC: 9 CC: 1 Bumped it up to 12 will Vaccum, Brush, Leaf when I...

They do! Previous home owner had 4 of them and I tend to rinse em out and swap them every couple of hours but I’m honestly not even sure how old they are. So I just went ahead and ordered a new on. I just remember having more “suction” before but I’m not sure if it slowed down when I vacuumed...

Quick clip of how it looks when I turn on the pump.
