To report back, picked up 4 gallons of 4% bleach this morning and was consumed in no time, as it was way to expensive since that was all that was available today I did not buy any more, knowing I was out of bleach and at 0 FC left I had nothin to loose, so I set the SWG to shock (I know it...

I am in montreal, canada and here it seems like all stores will be closed for easter, not trying to boost CYA as it is at 30 or so now, going higher will require more chlorine to keep at SLAM level and risk feeding CYA to the monster living in the pool at the moment. just got back from adding...

thank-you for the input, at pool opening (monday CYA was 0, wednesday evening I added 1 lbs dry stabilizer and tursday evening I added 1 lbs, Iwill go to the pet store tomorrow to get a ammonia test kit hopefully they will be open, and the critical question what happens if I run out of chlorine...

To reply to mknauss CYA was at 80 when closing, was at 0 when I opened I just re-checked CYA and I lost the dot halfway between 30 and 40. for the FC test do I stop as soon as it gets clear the first time?

Opened my pool last monday with lots of leaves in the bottom, scooped them out and got the pool going, color is good but water has been cloudy since than, I can barely see the bottom in the shallow end. I doubt it is algae as the water is at 54'F and none when I closed, most probably leftovers...

Out of curiosity I brought a water sample to the poor store to test for iron and the level is at 0, does this make sense? I would expect to see some indication of it in the water if it is all over the pool, if it possible it is not iron staining but something else?

My water is chrystal clear, so I will try that, add some AA to get it in solution and add some polyfill to the basket, and see if I can catch it. would my cartridge filter not catch some also? last time I rinsed it, it was white. Finally the main question does that Dazzle eliminator really...

Good Day everyone, Iron staining has showed up in my fiberglass pool in the last few weeks, confirmed with a vitamin C pill, rubbed on the stains and was erased, threw the pill in the bottom of the pool and made a nice long line where it moved due to the water flow. I have read up on AA...

Since the beginning of the season parameters have been good, Ph slowly creeping up, until middle of last week where is started going down, and then dropped on the weekend from 7.5 to 7.1, Aerating will bring it back up, but than drops afterwards, up to 7.6 and then fell back to 7.2, today got it...

Started up my pool this week, and noticed that if I put the setting of the Hayward AQR100 SWG to a low value the generating chlorine is on steady, if I bring up the setting to 4 or higher the LED will flash, the manual does not differentiate steady vs flashing generating chlorine LED light. Any...

After seeing all the posts about different ways of closing the pool and freezeproofing all the lines, here in Canada ground freezes solid and deep and I question myself what is the true risk of damage to the pool plumbing/skimmer what if I did the bare minimum such as opening removing drains...

thank-you MGTFP, it confirms my thoughts, up to now I would always use the estimate the effects to get the quantity of chemicals to add to the pool (MA, calcium chloride, stabilizer) now I know to use the 'log page'

replying to an old post but the original issue/question does not seem to be answered and I have the same issue, in the App, setting the SLAM button on sets my SLAM target FC to 14 from the actual 4.5 I have now. This suggests to add 233 oz of 2.88% bleach by volume to reach target (increase of...

My Led light is now hanging in the bottom of the pool for the winter and found out that I don't have as much extra wire as I expected/hoped to keep the wire up and out of the water, I see that C-M-P has a cap that you can install, I have done all the stores in my area and no one is able to get...

Thanks tjf, that confirms what I was thinking. have you noticed if water makes its way behind the lens? and have you had any issues with them? how many years have them?

Thank-you For the answer, I do have a coil so lots of room to pull it out. What seals the water out? Is it really those O-rings as in the initial post? Which I don’t believe exist in a standard install, I would put money that the conduit is full of water I have attached pictures of the out side...

Good Day all. My fiberglass pool has a Brilliant Wonders 1.5 LED light installed that I want to remove for the winter, it is at approximately 30 inches below the water level, so draining down to that level is far from being practical. So my main question is: is there an issue remove it under...

tonight PH is down to 7.5 but this gives me a CSI of -0.34 which is below the recommended values, -.42, as I asked in the first post should the CH be brought up? or just aerate more to raise the PH? to get a better CSI? being somewhat of a perfectionist, trying to find what ideal values across...

I would say a month to go before I close however I doubt we will be swimming any more

So Finally Got my TF100 kit and PH meter, and below are my first readings and second readings after adding MA and Stabilizer. Looking for opinions/recommendations on the values and if to aim for the Ideal values of pool math or deviate within the recommended range especially with the season at...

Does anyone have the details for the settings on this unit, you have the choice, Smart Mode or Silent Mode, and unfortunately the manual does not describe the exact detail of what each setting does. Does anyone have this info?

Good Day All, Yesterday added about a 1/2 cup of stabilizer to the pool with the sock method in the skimmer basket to creep it up into the ideal range, this evening it is all dissolved, so decided to do a test with a test strip (Aquacheck 7), total chlorine comes out at 10 and free chlorine is...

Good Day Everyone, Looking for the 24 hour Chlorine output for this unit, so I can properly set up the Pool Math App. I searched the web with no luck and might be difficult to get due to the adjustable output settings. or is there a was to calculate it? Thank-you
