    Barracuda G3 issue

    I'm willing to try anything at this point, but since your response is vague I'm not sure if you're kidding. What should I spin 180°? The weight, the fin? Any of the other pieces?

    Barracuda G3 issue

    Hello, Having an issue with the barracuda G3 vacuum in that it suddenly won't stay flat to the pool floor. The finned skirt, which should lay flat, is lifted about 20 to 30° in the front.

    Taking over maintenance of pool

    Thank you so much @mknauss ! I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything to me! As you recommend, I will wait a week before adding any more CYA to see if it increases but will add more if I need to so I can get it to 40 ppm. I will maintain my FC using the chart you linked...

    Taking over maintenance of pool

    There are a few— less than 6 inch diameter patches— of green algae on the wall. Should I scrub it off with bleach before draining the pool or is there something else I should do?

    Taking over maintenance of pool

    That’s what I was thinking I had to do. I didn’t know if I should leave a certain percentage in so that I don’t have to add CYA but i’ve already got the price from Home Depot to rent the pump. I just want you experts here to confirm the drain!

    Ok.... A little issue with asking my son to write the test results down. They’ve now been redone and here they are. Chlorine (daily test) is is in the .5 - 1 range (bottom cell).
