Can someone give me an idea of what this darkening is in the pool? They are dark streaks and big blotches on the bottom of the pool. Have no idea what they could be except maybe due to my calcium hardness at 200? I know I need to bring that up but I have no idea what is causing this.

Thanks so much!

Thank you

I’m calling another company to check the work.

It doesn’t look like it’s screwed in. He said the niche was broke so he wrapped the wires and pulled it in?

My pool light fell out and a repairman came and put it back in. This does not look like he did a very good job- it has a gap all the way around it! Can someone chime in on this? I don’t want to pay for this work. What will happen with it not sealed right?

Ok thank you

Oh ok. That makes sense. Also what should I aim for for ch? If sitting at 200 should I shoot for 250 or more?

If it settles to the bottom do I brush to the drain?

I add cya through the sock method. I don’t use pucks

Ok thank you so much! My fill water tested at 125. I’ll add 14 pounds then for now and retest

I need to add ch to the pool. It’s testing at 200 right now. I have a plaster pool. Should I raise to 300? How much do I put in at a time and what is the best method? Thanks!

So far I haven’t had any problems with a higher chlorine level. I just assumed starting at higher fc target wasn’t a bad idea lol

Thank you I’ll try lowering it. No CC in pool. It’s really been irritating her but my other daughter seems fine.

That’s what I’ve been doing is setting my target higher to accommodate for a fc loss of about 4 just in case. I can’t add chlorine multiple times a day as I’m not home to do so.

It was hot as heck today! See, my worry is with targeting my fc at 7 what if I’m seeing a 4-5 ppm loss? That would bring me below the minimum. So then what? Make my target higher?

Ah ok. That makes sense. So with a cya of 60 my target should be 7? And what’s the lowest it should go? I just assumed it was a safer bed to over chlorinate lol. Today I lost 3 ppm. Water is incredibly warm and it’s SO hot. I added enough chlorine to bring it to 9. Tomorrow I’ll start dosing for...

I don’t see how I’m waisting chlorine if I’m putting on fifty ounces a day exactly what I’m losing? I am just so afraid to dip too low as it’s hotter than heck in Florida right now- my pool feels like bath water!!!

My target is 9 right now and it drops to 7 daily. Sometimes 6.5. I’m so nervous of an abrupt drop to below 5 so I’ve been keeping it higher just in case? Is that a bad idea🤷‍♀️

I tested cc last month. I can test again today. With it being so hot I am scared to set target at 7 because I am afraid if I lost 3-4 ppm I’ll be too low for my cya?

My TA is currently at 70. My ph is about 7.6. What is the the ideal TA for a manually chlorinated pool? Tfp says 60-90 but my test kit says 100-120. My daughter is complaining of her nose and eyes itching in the pool and she thinks it’s the chlorine level which is kept between 7 and 10. My cya...

Ha! Love this

Here in Florida the pool water is like bath water right now! Super warm. I did back it up to 4 hours from five so I’ll see how it looks over the next few days. I fixed the lever her turned to use main drain back to where I had it. In my opinion the pool has looked perfect since I’ve been...

I was shocked to see he changed what I had it at. Then he tried to school me on why I shouldn’t have it on mostly skimmer. He also decided to leave me a floater on my porch and called me and told me to get pucks and that pucks should be in the pool at all times. I just want the dang light fixed...

He was the only one who could put my pool light back in (it completely fell out) and repair the drip. I turned my skin/drain lever back. He would die if he saw I’m only running my pump for 3-4 hours lol

I am only using him for a repair. He decided to give me his unsolicited advice on everything. Even though I’m the one managing the pool I don’t do well with confrontation and he didn’t let me get a word in edgewise. I just wanted to shut the door and run away lol. He is a very high regarded pool...

I had a pool repairman come today to fix our pool light and to look at a slow drip from our pump. He changed my lever to mostly open drain/closed skimmer (80/20). He said the drain should work more than the skimmer but I thought otherwise so had it set at 80/20 skimmer-drain. Anyhow, he was a...
