Ok this confirms my thoughts. Thank you for clarifying as it makes a lot of sense. Thanks

I guess I’m also hung up on cost. If I need to add a gallon of LC daily at a cost of $5 per then I’m spending $150 on LC monthly before even worrying about other chemicals like muriatic acid. Cost wise it’s no cheaper then hiring a service.

So earlier I posted about taking over my pool servicing and asking questions to better prepare me for the task. Everyone was very kind and helpful but I’m now left with trying to understand the thought behind this “trouble free” system. My takeaway from the responses were that I need to test for...

Just downloaded the app…looks like a bit over a gallon of LC would get me to around 5ppm. Any idea how fast it depletes? I know there are variables but I’m just trying to price this out. Realistically would I be adding a gallon a day? Every other day? Just trying to get a ballpark. LC at 10%...

ok so I’d test my FC level daily and then add LC based on the pool math app calculation as needed to stay in 5-7ppm range?

Thanks for the quick reply!! So I wouldn’t be utilizing the in line chlorinator but just using liquid chlorine right ? Would I be adding liquid chlorine /bleach daily or how often exactly?

Thanks for the feedback. I converted from a SaltWater Generator after mine crapped out and the cost to replace wasn’t attractive lol. I will read the link you provided. Thanks

So I bought this house 2 years ago and have had a company coming out weekly to service it. I kept telling myself I would eventually do it once I took the time to learn and I think that time has come. All summer long it seems like some algae has developed even just a few days after servicing so...

So stupid me finally figured out I have two red cedar trees around my pool lol….it all makes sense now smh lol

Awesome thank you so much! I’ll just be patient for now!

ok so vitamin C really didn’t do much….as I was scrubbing tho I noticed some spots on my coping and pool deck….i believe it’s from the surrounding trees…definitely looks like some Organic matter leaving a reddish/brown/purple type stain….my pool company called after I emailed and said that...

So do I just rub the whole tablet on the area like I’m scrubbing or crush it up? What’s the best play here?

Lol I definitely understand….I guess I stated it that way to say some semi competent person handles chemicals instead of myself as I don’t have faith in myself to do it correctly regularly haha…..nevertheless I am in my truck on my way to the store to pick up some vitamin C as I read multiple...

I just had my entire pool chipped out and refinished with stone scales mini pebble in May of 2021. I haven’t had any issues at all until recently. Earlier this week my wife said she noticed a small rust stained looking area near our steps….she tried brushing it and I didn’t think much of it...

Lol I’m in Melissa, TX. Suburb of the suburbs of north Dallas.

Ok great! I’ll just leave it alone as it seems to be working fine as is. This pic is actually from last year and the SWG cell had to be replaced and now I have an inline chlorinator instead 🤷🏻‍♂️. I really appreciate the help though! Really glad I found this place so I can dive into all things...

Ok thanks for the insight! Glad to know I was on the right track then lol. Now as far as that check valve being replaced do I just turn the pump off and replace it? Since the equipment sits well below the pool wouldn’t the pool start draining via gravity? Do I just work quickly? Does that check...

my yard does slope down significantly and the pool equipment sits at the lowest point of the yard probably 5-6 ft below pool level. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

These are the only other pics I have at the moment. This top view shows it the best though. The only hard part to see is the filter outlet pipe directly under the inlet pipe but you can see where that outlet pipe goes behind the pump and into the heater.

So I’m relatively new to pools as I bought my house that already had a pool a year ago. Today I had a leak detection done and they found a leak but they also told me one of my check valves needed to be replaced. Said it was just something they noticed and wasn’t a cause for the leak...
