Yes, I drain below my returns every year. Then fill up where rain/snow left me off until I get to where I need. My fill water has a CH of 75. No heater on my setup.

Good day all, below are my current test results. Where should I bring my CH up to? Last year I remember bringing it up and someone had mentioned I shouldn’t have brought it up so much. FC 2.5 TA 60 CYA 40 PH 7.5 CH 175 CSI -0.82 Temp 49 I’m sure it’s colder below the surface.

Can I take a water sample and check for cc even though the fc is 0?

Ok I went back to my ring camera to check when I did what. So Oct 9th is when I put the chlorine in. I can remember that testing next day I was at 12 FC. I let that circulate and didn’t put poly quat in until Oct 15. My FC then was 4ppm. I don’t think I sacrificed the poly quat.

Thanks, I do have a submersible sump pump, with a short hose that acts like a snake when I dump it in the pool, I don’t put a cover on my pool over the winter so I usually don’t get much of debris since we don’t have trees. Maybe some minor leaves from neighboring trees which I pick out. Yes I...

Good day all, I’ve closed the pool a little over two weeks ago and in doing a checkup on my water the chlorine is zero. Temp 60. So I go about adding chlorine to the water? In all my 17 yrs I’ve never checked the water after closing and this year I thought I’d keep an eye on it to avoid it from...

Wow, I can see clearly now! That worked great. A minute or two of liquid chlorine did the trick. Don’t know how I want testing before. Bottles new again. I had to hold it up to the light previously just to see where the level was at.

Yes, I always rinse it out after. The bottle is I think 2 years old 🫢

Good morning all, Is it necessary to clean the cya mixing bottle and if so how would one go about it? I think the inside of the bottle is sort of chalky or has a residue on it. Would I be able to pour some liquid chlorine in there an let it sit a bit?

I’m back in. (y)

I sent an email. I tried signing out and reinstalling the app with no luck. Thanks.

Good day all, So my subscription renews June 12. Yesterday I tried using pool math and it said premium subscription required. I pressed subscribe and I was back in. This morning same thing pops up. Why isn’t it subscribing me? On my iPhone under my Apple ID under subscriptions pool math is...

Thanks to all of the TFP community, I never looked back after joining. Happy & safe summer to all!!

Hey all thought this may be of help to some. I was looking like crazy for a spout to pour liquid chlorine out of the 2.5 & 5 gallon carboys. I found these and I noticed they are made by the same company that makes the yellow caps that already come on the carboys Rieke. I don’t know how long...

It’s crazy to say the least. Lost only .5 ppm of FC today because of the haze.

Are you just getting the pool bleach they sell? I see one for 5.67. Pondering about switching. Paying 6.60 per gallon on the 5 gal car boys and I can’t find a decent spout to use to avoid spills. But I’m looking at the .93 cent difference as paying that extra to have a higher percentage in...

Good day & Happy Memorial Day! Here are my morning readings. FC 6 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 90 CH 500 CYA 40 CSI 0.03 Temp 71 F Should I bring my ph down to 7.2 or leave it and should I bring my CYA to 50?

Yes, came off my slam yesterday but I ran it one more night into this morning to be sure. So I went ahead and started to balance the others. I stared with my PH, dosed MA waited then proceeded with my CH. so should I backwash it or let it ride? My skimmers have good flow. My clean psi is 15, + 1...

When I added it the water clouded for a few min yes but cleared up quickly but still has a slight haze.

So I added 50 Lbs of Peladow and brushed to dissolve it and I noticed after 2 hrs my pressure on the filter has gone up from 16 to 20psi. Is that normal after adding salt? Is it from the salt? I would assume that whatever went in has already dissolved. I need to increase my cya and I don’t...

When looking at the app, the FC box shows me a target range of 2-6 and when I click on the box the recommended shows the same 2-6 but below that it says target FC 4? Where should I be keeping my FC at the higher range of the recomedation? So 6?

no poofs when brushing the floor. I just brushed the walls here’s a photo of the deep end sorry I made the water a bit wavy from brushing the walls.

Good morning all, Need some guidance. CYA 30 my Slam FC is 12. Yesterday 730am I had an FC of 12.5 CC 0 before leaving for work I dosed 48 oz of bleach to bring it up by 2ppm since I would be at work all day. Arrived home at 5pm FC 9 CC 0. I added 71 oz of bleach to get her back to 12. Then...

Does pollen wreak havoc on pool clarity? My current test reveals 0 CC. Though during the afternoon I noticed a haze in the clarity Todays been windy and I can tell the wind was blowing away from my skimmers so I end up seeing this by the steps, pollen looks like cotton when I scoop it out.
