@mguzzy thanks. Yeah, I bucked TFP protocol and went over to test the water at my pool shop also. Was just too slammed with work etc. to repeatedly work with my reagent kit. Can't remember whether they tested PO4. If so they didn't say anything about it. I'll call em back and ask. @mknauss...

Yes thanks wireform. Just did it and PSI has indeed gone up by one

Duh(!) okay so I add to the pump skimmer basket

Ok no worries. Found the TFP page abou this. So I just pour it into the skimmer basket rather than into the sand filter itself?

@mknauss Thanks! How much DE do I need to add?

So after the massive rains we had in Sydney, I noticed that my pool turned green. I began to shock, but the downpour worsened. Now the water is a brown-green colour. Looks like its run-off from the lawn as the pool sits at the bottom of a raised lawn surface. Can't see bottom at the deep end...

Awesome. Will do! Thanks

Okay so there was a big chlorine dump by the pool robot guy as I mentioned. He also dusted the step (which had a bit of brown staining) with 70% low additive granular chlorine. Pool looks great. Stains all gone. CYA viewing tube just came. I did a check just now and found ... CYA: 20 FCL: 22...

Texas, thanks! So I'm guessing I should also ignore his low salt finding? I'm wondering why his reading was so off for salt if it is incorrect. Both my aqua test strips and the reagent test are saying salt is okay. If anything reagent result is showing a highish salt of 5600

Awesome. Thanks so much Texas Splash and ajw22. Will test CYA and then SLAM So it looks like its not that important to test PO4? I don't think it came with my Clearchoice kit.

Hi Guys! Learning a lot from the brains trust here. I am based in Sydney Australia and just acquired a pool a few months ago. Have decided to start doing my own pool maintenance. Pool robot broke down a few weeks ago and this means I have had to manually vacuum, but not doing so great a job...
