Hi. I have OmniLogic….my rep put it in omnidirect mode last year so I could adjust brightness but it didn’t work because I needed upgraded lights. So he put it back in regular mode. I now installed the upgraded lights, can you help me get it back in omnidirectional so I have all the new colors...

Why do they say you have to run cartridge filters slow to allow filtration?

My EC65 DE filter has had leaks repaired many times in 2 years so I need to replace. My pool is 17,500 gallons and I have a Hayward VSP 1.65 HP. I love running it at 3450 rpm- I like the water movement and clean water. I wanted to get a cartridge filter. I think my DE filter at 27 ft is...

I’m Only getting 45 min to 2 hours even after exposing them all day. Any tricks to getting them to last?

I need to add lighting to my in ground pool and the only accessible area is on the wall facing my house and guests. I know this isn’t ideal. Pentair has glare shields that you can buy that direct the light down. Does anyone have any experience with them? I don’t want to add lights abd have...

I have 2 Hayward colorlogic lights that work with my OmniLogic automation. The pool is 40 x 14, and the two lights are situated 1/4 from each end. My liner is dark. The center of the pool is black and the lit areas at the ends is not bright. I see people lighting entire pools w one light. I...

Thanks so much

Pool is crystal clear. Free chlorine holding overnight. Combined chlorine hanging on. How do I check phosphates without a pool store?

https://taylortechnologies.com/en/page/113/shocking-interference Found the answer. . Non chlorine shock creates test interference. It also prevents new combined chlorine but doesn’t eliminate old combined chlorine. So it better as a preventive. Once the CC is high, slam is way to go...

The liquid chlorine

Yeah I had started in 2020 when I was looking for a liner. What does that have to do with me remembering and logging in two years later after realizing there was a lot of chemical advice on here when I was searching the internet? I did mention on here earlier in the thread I added that forever...

I have not during this process. I have in the past. Can you educate me why it’s wrong? I just found this site

I have a box of it because I bought it when I bought the frog system because that is ideal ti shock with when keeping chlorine and cya low. It oxidizes and is supposed to free up chlorine. Or is that wrong?

Just wondering if this granular shock would do the same thing better, since it’s straight chlorine. It had nothing to do w pool store vs you, it has to do with storage and cost

Unfortunately it’s what I said. Pool cleared up but maybe because free chlorine went from 0.3 to 2.5….but because I still have 5.8 combined chlorine that means it’s still working on killing something? In addition to SLAN w chlorine, would adding oxidizing non chlorine shock help free up some...

So I’ve slammed for 3 days. Pool is crystal clear now. Total chlorine is 8.2. Free is 2.4. Everything else in range. So I keep going?

While I slam, how long do I need to wait after adding liquid chlorine to close the autocover to protect in from sun? I know I need to let the chloramphenicol hades dissipate. FC went to zero overnight so at 5:30 am I added liquid chlorine and went to work. My wife leaves at 8, is 2.5 hours...

Thank you. I thought by adding non chlorine shock thag would attack the organic matter and contaminants so that when I add the liquid chlorine, the new FC can focus on killing bacteria? I thought non chlorine shock abd chlorine shock worked together ????

With that said, I will slamming by adding chlorine every few hours as it drops until stable….could I help myself by turning up the chlorinator? That way I get a consistent feed in addition to the boluses

100% correct thank you both. You nailed it. That explains why when I added 5 gallons of chlorine the chlorine didn’t budge abd ph went to 6.8- the ammonia created more acid. So I am finally getting it to hold free chlorine after 2 hours. I assume at this point just add chlorine daily until...

On my own test FC dropped to zero. CC was 5 plus. Pool store was 0.3 and 2.5. I added 2 gallons liquid chlorine and 4 lbs microfloc shock and 32 Oz forever clear. Re home test has FC at 5. So I will retest tomorrow maintain FC at 5 per slam until clear ..Sound right? I just have no idea...

Taylor kit basically shows no cya and we didn’t drain the pool other than backwash filter but that’s not enough to change i used pool store in May then started using Taylor in June. On June 20 or so, CYA was 50-60…. We went away 10 days. Came back and clear and then 3 days of kids swimming...

Taylor kit basically shows no cya and we didn’t drain the pool other than backwash filter but that’s not enough to change it

I did. I need to SLAM. But why did my cya drop from 60 to 11? Makes no sense. If I go with 11, then I need FC 3. How do I go from 0.3 to 3???? Pool math says add 53 Oz. That’s a half a jug. I added 5 last week abd go no wheee

so basically if my free is 0.3 and total is 2.5 my combined is 2.2 - I multiply x 10 to get to 22 which means I need to get my chlorine to 22. How do I know the formula to do that?

I do use a Taylor test kit. The results are pretty similar. No clue where my cya went? Doesn’t make sense. With the Taylor kit, I could see the black dot the entire time so cya essentially not existing

Total chlorine is 2.5, free is 0.3. TA 133 ph 7.3, phosphate zero. Water cloudy afternoon being clear all summer. My cya has been 50-60. On this test, it’s 11. I thought cya doesn’t go anywhere. So I’m told it’s because my free chlorine is low and it is all bound up. Is this true??? Pool...
