Got it. And I didn’t try to…so I originally used pool math and put in 1.5 gal of pool liquid chlorine 12.5%. Tested a half an hour later and it was 24. I threw in the vacuum, after it was done covered the pool, went to work. When I came back in the afternoon ~7 hours later I tested and it was...

So it is morning and I opened the pool to find lovely clear water again😁 so I just tested and found my FC to be 32 and CC 0 CYA still 60 😁 it looked so much better already yesterday evening and the FC was 34 so the change being 2 does that mean I still didn’t pass the OCLT and should wait...

Thank you for the responses! I hope this works 😁. If it’s a sunny day would it be better to keep it covered ?

OK, thank you! I did buy the liquid chlorine, and just put about 1.5 gal. in. Based on the SLAM chart of CYA/FC chart I need to get to 28 FC. How quickly can I check, and if I understand correctly I need to keep it at that level until the water clears? Should I also turn of the SWG for now...

So I need some help please. This is only our second season with the pool, so still have a lot to learn. We opened the pool a couple weeks ago, to a clear pool, with only high FC. Since the temperature here was still cold I left the SWG off and kept pool uncovered to help w/dropping the FC. It...

Thank you for that extensive reply! It all is starting to make sense :) I have been uncovering the pool everyday, and last night measured the FC to be at 20, so slowly getting there. You're right that it will be a learning experience...you mentioned things a lot of swimmers potentially...

Correct, I'm mostly covering at night now. Yes the pool company said they would be doing the first winterizing to show us how it works, but honestly, they were supposed to teach us how to use the pump/balance and all that, and that didn't really happen. I have not reviewed it, I'll have to...

Ok, so after a full day in the sun with the SWG down at 0%, the FC just tested at 30.5, so went down quite a bit > 10 in one day, hoping two more days like this and will be back to ~ 10ppm. Question is, what do I set the pump and SWG to keep it there? Should I just start at 10-20% and see how...

Sorry, I must have misspoke, I do have automation. Usually we just ran the little waterfall, jets only sometimes for the kids, no spa! I’ll try to add some photos

Thanks! I tried to update the signature, can you see it now? I also marked, share, on the pool math app. So first off I'm in Lemont, and again, I have no clue about any of this, the pool builder just set the pump and SWG to what it is now, and so I'm not sure how to adjust it. So my SWG is...

Thank you! How do I figure out what output will it take to creat 1ppm/day? Also if I turn the pump down how do I figure out the best rate to run it especially if I still want to run the heater? Sorry I’m totally new to all this!

Hello, I posted recently once my pool got finished with some advice things were going great! Until recently, the days got cooler, we have not used the pool as much a d kept it covered a lot. I tested a few times a d the numbers are just obscene! I’m not sure what to do next 😬 please help! I...

Thank you! I will retest the chlorine again and definitely add muriatic acid tonight! I thought I did update my signature? Is there a best time to add the muriatic acid, and when would to retest again?

Hi everyone 👋 So a little background…like many we decided to get a pool during the pandemic. Never thought we’d own a pool, but now seeing the kids it was a great decision! It’s been an ongoing project that started in March, in fact everything is still not done however, we were able to fill the...
