Thank you mknauss, I'll do it this way. Your help is very invaluable!

Thank you mknauss, I'll continue. How long this may take? I have CC =0 and need to pass OCLT and get clear water. Looks like I should expect a long way to success:(

SWCG is off

2nd day, at 11 am, I added bleach to make FC=20, but at 4 pm FC=22. Should drop due to sun, but has increased 3rd day, at 11 am, I added bleach to make FC=20, but at 3 pm FC=22. Should drop due to sun, but has increased

Strange behavior of FC. I,m SLAMing my pool the third day. I have strange readings of FC: Day 1: 10 am - FC=4, CYA=50 - added bleach per PoolMath calculator up to FC=20 1 pm - FC=1, CYA=50 - added bleach 5 pm - FC=11, CYA=50 - added bleach Day 2: I've missed the...

Richard 320, mknauss and IceShadow, Thank you for your help. I was lucky to find 10 gal of liquid bleach 8.25% in the Blain's Farm and Fleet (I forgot about it and searched in Menards, Lowes and Walmart). I am going to start SLAMing tomorrow. Thanks again(y)

Please help! I have the same problem - no liquid bleach. I can get cal-hypo 56.44%. Can I use it for SLAM? My current CH is 100ppm, pH+7.2, CYA=50, TA=70 Thank you very much.

I have the same problem, but I have cal hypo 56.44% How to properly SLAM the pool?

Richard320! Can I use for SLAM HTH 52023 Super Shock Treatment Swimming Pool Chlorine Cleaner https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083X45KXN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead of the liquid bleach? Now with COVID19, it is difficult to purchase 10 gal of bleach. Thank you for...

Thank you Richard320! Will do.

I used concentrated bleach 6% Sodium Hydroxide from Meijer. About pH: I tried to bring it to 7.5 (the upper range in recommended by TFP). At some reason, it did not change, now it is 7.22. I checked it with two methods. The foam is gone. I believe it was due to air in the filter. Now, my test...

Hello everybody - I need your help. I am not very new to the pool maintenance, but I see this the first time. I have opened the pool 2 days ago and found a lot of algae. I've added 2 gallons of 6% bleach. Yesterday, I've tested the water: Salt -2500 ppm - added 20 lbs of salt FC - 2 ppm - did...

JVTrain, Yes, I have read the EDIT. I think I will add the polyquat-60 to be safe. Thanks,

JVTrain, Thank you very much for your help. Best regards,

Thank you JVTrain, It's clear - I'll wait for the temperature to drop. You mentioned: "close with polyquat and/or shock level FC". Does this mean that the shocking is not necessary with temperature below 60? And my last question about TA level of 110 ppm. Do I need to lower it and how? Thanks...

jblizzle, A am still a bit confused. 1. You talk about 10 bottles, while the pool math calculator shows just 3 gal of bleach at SYA 70 that I have to add to get the shock level of 28 ppm FC. 2. I understand that the lower the temperature at closing and opening, the better. However, when I plug...

Hello, I will be winterizing my above-ground pool first time this year. I know that I have to disconnect all the equipment, bring the water down below the return line, clean pool and do all other routine I have previously done for the Bacquacil pool. What I don't know - the chemistry of...

Looks like this is the relay. If you can do a photo from the side (left and right), I can see it better.

My today's test results: Salt - 3200 FC - 6.5 CYA - 40 (increased from two days ago 20 ppm), on June 9 I added 126 oz of stabilizer. As I read, it may take a week for stabilizer to show correct level. So I am going to wait a couple more days. TA - 120 pH - 7.5 CH - 175 My SWG has 50 % setting @...

Can the brass pipe be used for the water bonding?

Thanks to all for help. Based on your recommendations, I have purchased the Hayward AquaTrol RJ.

Thanks to all for help. Today, I have received the TF-100 test kit. It was a fun working with it.

Dan, I have two-speed pump. What speed should I use? Thanks,

Thanks Dan, Now, it makes sense. As you mentioned, I should not go above 80% Output. How low can I go with Output %? Best regards,

Thanks, Dan, It's a little bit late - I have added the stabilizer. Now, I will keep my fingers crossed:sad: Best regards,

Thank you guys for prompt and detailed response. I have ordered TF-100 test kit. umpalumpajay, I don't understand the part of your advise "you can start zero'ing in on the % and time you need to run it". My AquaTrol has the knob called Desired Output with 1 to 100% scale and increment of 10%...
