Oh thats helpful, thanks. It did seem extreme to be running max, but thought it might speed up the process? I added filter to signature, odd its not showing up. It's a Hayward Swimclear cartridge filter.

Hi all, I opened my pool to a green swamp this year and immediately began the SLAM procedure 7 days ago. I think I followed it correctly and water improved significantly, but I have some stubborn cloudiness. I've passed CC and OCLT conditions, but pool is still cloudy can't see bottom in...

One other thought. My TA was 110+ and have been working on lowering it for a few weeks. I didn't think anything of it, but the MA I used was Klean Strip Green from Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-gal-Green-Muriatic-Acid-GKGM75006/202690263 Could that have had additives...

Hayward Swim Clear cartridge filter.. will add to my signature.

Hi all, New pool owner here. Finally think I've been able to master the chemistry side of things and believe all of my levels are in good shape. All of a sudden today, we are noticing many white fibers and flakes suspended within the water of the pool (not floating on top), which we have...

Ahh.. I just followed the SLAM criteria to a tee and I should have checked first. I guess beginners mistake. That's how I'm doing the test, was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do it. Even at 31 FC which is the target, that's 60+ drops of reagent every time I test the level...

Thank you! I re-tested and got a CC level of 1 and am starting to smell chlorine. Other levels were appropriate so I used Pool Math to get up to SLAM level which should be 31 FC (3 128 oz liquid chlorine). 1) How long should I wait to measure FC and make sure it got to the right level? I...

Hi all, New pool owner here, but rapidly getting up to speed on best practices from this forum. I've been hovering at about 1 ppm FC since a gathering I just had with a high bathing load. Conventional wisdom from other pool owners was that you "shock" the pool after such a gathering, but I...

Hi there, New pool owner and having an issue I can use some help with. New pool has been running for a month with no real issues with pump / filter system. However, today I realized the pressure on filter was much lower than it has been (7 PSI). I cleaned all baskets and impeller and...

Hi guys, New pool owner, and having trouble figuring out appropriate pump run time, especially with an auto cover. I tried figuring out the TDH of my setup, but I have no idea the length of pipe and joints running under ground. I do know its 2" pipe and my pump is pretty far away from my...

Hi all, I have a new 14x28" pool installed last fall. I noticed the pool is losing 3/4" to 1" of water every 24 hours. I tested with pump on and off and water loss is consistent. I also noticed that water loss seems to stop around bottom of the skimmer. Pool company came and inspected and...
