I've been using tabs all the time. Not sure why the CYA is so high. I will try another test method. But so far the chlorine levels are stable and no problems with the water. We will see how it goes. I don't want to drain it now since it's pretty hot out here and my kids been using the pool...

I use the ColorQ test. Got new reagents this year. Also I'm the one adding chemicals. But at some point someone mess with my chlorinator settings and it was set to full for a week.

Moved from here Not sure why but my CYA level is at 170 right now. I have not added chlorine to my pool for 3 weeks and the water is still crystal clear. Pool uncovered 24/7 and chlorine level drop only by 1.0ppm . So far I'm not complaining.

Is it safe to remove one of the top rails to install a over rail light like the one below?

Great. Most of the weekend we leave our house to work on our property in different state. Before I used the chlorine tablets but it looks like I will switch to liquid chlorine

Okay. So it's perfectly fine to raise it up if I'm leaving for couple of days?

Okay. I think I will stick to the liquid chlorine dosing instead of chlorine tablets . How low can I go with FC before I should add again? I should experience any problems if I keep it above 0 all the time? As of now after slamming I try to test it everyday and add whatever I need.

Is testing kit chemicals temperature affect the reading? I received my refill for the TF100 and it used it right away. Everything was pretty warm since the envelope was placed inside my mailbox on a hot day. Got a reading of 100 CYA. Next time I measure about 70 and it's still 70. When I was...

So I didn't used the automatic dosage pump. But right before we left I raised the FC to SLAM level. Came back last night and water did clear significantly while we were gone. Measured FC again and it went from about 39 down to 17 over the period of two days. I will wait before I SLAM again. Will...

I have a dosage pump from my long gone saltwater aquarium (identical like this one CLICK HERE ) Can i put it on timer and slam the pool right before I leave?

I think I see a progress in the slamming process. Now my question is , we have will be out of state starting tonight and will be back sunday night. Is there anything I can do to keep the process going? I don't have anyone who could do it for me while I'm gone.

Okay so should I drain my pool to lower the CYA? Or can I keep it at 100 for the rest of the season and fix it next year?

Whole kit was sitting in our laundry room all the time.

I work those hours 5 days a week and on weekend I go out of state

I feel embarrassed. The tfkit is actually 3 years old so I don't think I should trust it anymore. It shows me 100 CYA and my new ColorQ pool 7 shows 67. New kit on the way. Should I wait or can I trust ColorQ for now?

Should I remove my stairs from the pool while slamming? They always hide algae

One more thing I forgot to mention. Maybe it's normal I don't know, it's my first season using cartridge filter. Filter been running for two day 24/7 with the water being cloudy/milky pressure have not go up at all. Cleaned the cartridge right before I start running it 24/7. Is this normal?

That's the problem. House is empty whole day. Just my dog inside. Tried to train him but he is color blind ;). Today I ordered new refill kit for my TF-100 since the chemicals I have right now are from last year.

I know I don't post much but I thought I have this figure out. Just recently we went out of state for couple of days. The first day we went out my neighbor called me saying my pool hose broke and the pool is draining. He went and turn off the pump and took care of the leak. Pump was off till we...

My pool if 30ft in diameter. Couple years ago I tried the reel to remove my solar cover. But every season the cover will tear right where the strap clips are attached. Is there any other way to attach it without making holes in the cover?

Mine does the same thing. Sometimes it climbs the wall I don't know why. But I like it.

That makes sense. Especially that my pool was taken down last season so I could replace the wall. Pool guy took it down and stack all the uprights like you said flat on the ground. I didn't have that problem last season before he took down the pool

THe only thing I can thing about is that the upright was not aligned correctly on the top and bottom cap. I don't think wall should put much pressure on the upright since they are held in place with two small screws only. I don't think it's a problem. Once you bolt both ends of the steel wall it...

I have Dolphin E10 pool robot and it's working great.

Same as on our pool that was installed couple weeks ago. There is a one upright where I can stuck my finger between wall and the upright.

I think it will be safer and less work if you just weld the panels together into a long roll or something line that. You will need to drill about 40 holes at each connection (that's how many holes my wall has where the wall ends meet) . I will put some kind of uprights on each seam. How about...

I think photometer will always get me close enough. I don't need to be "perfect"

I will try the tap water and probably one more time pool water with another pill. Anyone ever did a test where they compare TF-100 to ColorQ results

That makes sense cause I do use one. I had no idea they put CYA in the pucks. And yes this is new fresh water.
