Sorry, it’s been a very busy long weekend! The pool looks pretty good. The water could be a little clearer, and we haven’t gotten our FC to be nearly as high as we would like. It makes sense though, after reading about the chlorine degradation you pointed out. So basically, the bigger the...

This is the only code I can see, and it makes no sense to me. I just looked at the description of the pool online that says how many gallons the pool holds, and went off of that.

Attaching a screenshot of what the app recommended. Does this look correct?

So if I want it that high then I have to do the test for FC every single time? Not just the basic drop test that tells me chlorine levels up to 5 ppm right? We have always just used that part of the test kit except for once every so often when the levels get weird. The LC we use is 10%. I guess...

Noooo the filter has been running nonstop during the whole process. It runs for 12 hrs, and then shuts off automatically. So we go back out every 12 hours and turn it back on. I added enough chlorine, according to the pool math app, to get to 6 ppm FC, which is what the app said to do. I had the...

Ok got it! Thanks.

CC was .5 The water looks a lot better to me. There’s a few bugs here and there but overall the algae seems to be gone. I added 3 lbs of stabilizer. When I tested it today the CYA level was about 45 ppm. As for the vacuum, we only have a small one. It’s one that attaches to the garden hose and...

Okay I’m back. We added the stabilizer yesterday and did the OCLT. The FC was at 3 both times, so we didn’t lose any chlorine overnight. What would the next step be?

Thank you!! I actually was able to find some chlorine stabilizer so I will be adding that today. I’m going to backwash the filter first, like the directions say. Can I just leave the floating chlorine tab feeder in there during the SLAM and overnight chlorine loss test? There is a little less...

Thanks for the reply! My CC is 1. I do have the pool math app, just not sure how to make it so I can share my logs. I’m not the best with technology 🤣 I will venture out to the stores and try to find CYA. This shortage of pool chemicals is really making it hard to maintain the pool! I’ll also...

Hello everyone! I’m a new pool owner as of this summer and this is my first time posting here. We have a 20x48 intex ultraframe pool with the basic filter it came with. We were doing great at the beginning of summer and then after tropical storm Elsa came and dumped a ton of rain on us, the...
