Hi there! Ordered what I thought was the correct diverter for the below valve but what came didn’t have a hole in the bottom to sit on the pin in the valve itself- I’ve searched and searched but I’m not sure the model and most pictures in the descriptions don’t show if it has a hole at the...

Ok, as always, thank you so much!

My pool is 24,000 gallons so that’s 3 lbs of baking soda correct?

Hi! I’ve been doing very well this summer after slamming initially. noticed my ph dropped from 7.4 to 6.8 over the last couple of weeks. Tc was steady at 4. Found some algae growing today on my light after two days of heavy rains. I use pucks but keep liquid on hand to raise when needed. After I...

Ok but that being said, I forgot to turn my chlorinator back on- so no chlorine went in. Considering temp (80 degree day & full sun) and having just completed a slam- should my fc have dropped from 12.5 8pm Thursday to 5.5 at 5pm Friday? That’s my concern. Is that too fast of a drop ?

I did pass all 3. But was still in the habit of testing that I checked overnight last night for good measure. By chlorinator I mean the inline Hayward chlorinator I put tabs in.

Hi. I didn't turn on the chlorinator yesterday after thinking i completed the slam and i just let the fc drift down. i checked this am at 4am and fc was 10.5 that was a 2 ppm drop from 820 last night. i let it go all day without adding or turning chlorinator on(80 degrees , full sun all day...

I apologize- I keep meaning to log it but I have been jotting it down and just keeping track that way. Working from home & home schooling I’m lucky I can keep track at all! So with my 30 cya- I shouldn’t be concerned losing fc like I have during the day? From here I should let the fc drift...

Ok so - I did well yesterday and my OCLT from 10pm til 4am was 1ppm. (Sorry keep forgetting to log in the app) but my pool is in full sun and has been 75-80 degrees out the last 2 days. So I thought I was done since I hit all 3 criteria but then so far today I have this 10pm tues Fc-13 Cc-0...

Hi! during slam process we decided to remove the light (which we had not tested yet this summer or turned on the breaker for it) turns out the housing was filled with water/part that bulb screws into all rusted as well. Took it out, emptied water and also found that the back of the fixture had...

Thank you. I finally feel like I’m getting somehwere! Thank you!

Hi again. Looking for some reassurance that I’m on the right path. After not being able to get more reg bleach I went to pool store and got 2 5g buckets of 12.5 % & Friday at 4 I switched to that and off I went. My slam fc is 12 so I added the appropriate amount after every reading that dropped...

Yeah but it cleared up in 24 hours by last Sunday evening. It’s been clear since then

That’s the weirdest part. My pool is crystal clear

Ok I added the reccomended bleach this am and tested after an hour and the fc dropped again. From 10 last night to 6this am to 4 and now to 3. I’ve already gone through 10 gallons of bleach . Is this the rate I should be going?

Ok. Tested this am and brushes Fc 4 Cc 1.5 Added about 4 gallons of bleach as per app. My issue is I only have about 4 more gallons of bleach left and won’t be able to get more until tonight. Is my best method to keep testing throughout the day or just wait til I can get more bleach and test...

Something didn’t seem right so I did it again- (using the tf-100) Fc-10 Cc-5 Used calculator and added 100oz to get to 12 so I’m going to go to bed. See how the next test goes in the am

I vacuumed to waste and refilled about 2 inches of water . I added 4 gallons of bleach and tested after 1 hour and tc was at 8 and free didn’t seem to budge- .5 or so .

Hi! 2nd year owner . Still trying to figure it all out. -24k vinyl pool opened Saturday. New de filter installed same day. Opened to light green water and lots of algae. Cleared up in about 24 hours after 2 vaccuum t waste. Numbers all over the place this week. This is what I got today after...

The water is fine. It’s not green at all

I’m in a pickle bc I’m having a bbq next Saturday , that gives me 8 days to tackle this slam process and hope that after it clouds I can get it back to normal by then. Or is that too risky?

Yikes! Ok so how many gallons of bleach are we talking I should buy? I watched the videos and read a bunch but it’s overwhelming. Based on my earlier cya of 60 and my current 6 fc it says add 7 gallons. I’ll run to the store now , bit is it a good idea to start at 8pm? The water looks fine with...

Ok-1 hr later Fc-6 Cc-1.5

Ok-added roughly 2.7 gallons of bleach. Will report back in 1 hour. Do I test now or just in an hour?

Ok so I got my kit in the mail and this is what I’m working with. Chlorine-.5 safety test kit but O using the drop test Alkalinity-50 Calcium-225 Ph 6.8 Cya 60 It’s 24k vinyl pool. De filter. Won’t hold chlorine at all

I ordered the strips. I’m reading now. Sorry yes- I meant I ordered the kit! Ok! I’ll get some bleach tonight & start reading!!!!

I ordered the strips. I’m reading now. I do have 2 gallons of liquid bleach in the pantry, regular bleach but it’s linen scent, is that ok to use?
