Thank you @Newdude, I did find that, I was just bringing it up (again) since it seems that folks are still struggling with finding a link directly to it. But I'm also seeing there have been several posts about it in the past several months so glad to know the team is working on it!

That logic does make sense. When all the links referring to the chart don't show a chart, it could create some frustration though. Would it be difficult to add a link to the actual chart somewhere on that page in addition to the calculator? I've finally found it on the "further reading" page...

My apologies if this has been explained somewhere but it seems that the CYA/chlorine chart has been... misplaced... on TFP. There is an old post that embeds the chart in a response but when one searches the site and visits the links that say they are leading to the chart, it lands on "free...

Yeah, it’s close enough to be helpful. I go by the Sense for the daily pH and chlorine and the Taylor once a week for the rest

Just thought I'd chime in too since I'm very interested in this discussion. I have the S1 and find it helpful for the daily testing, for sure (then test weekly with my Taylor kit). Went to get another pack of cartridges during their 20% sale this weekend and noticed the S2 kit. Found it VERY odd...

agreed in concept but from now on I'm only going to put in softened RO water so I don't have to relive this nightmare again :)

boom. Thank you for the pic - that's very helpful!

Thanks for the suggestion - and yeah, did try that. It does mitigate it some but still seems to leave a lot a brown water sitting in the skimmer (though probably at least some less than if the pump was on!)

That may end up being the "best possible" scenario for it. I suppose I could even put it in a mesh bag or something but I fear even a skimmer sock is going to allow a lot to fall out in the skimmer water. My guess is that it might not be a whole lot better than just pulling up the basket with...

I've had good success using polyfill in the skimmer to grab some iron in my pool water (I'll spare you the saga). However, getting it out of the skimmer, I feel like I'm losing half of what's been captured in the poly when I pull it out. Anyone have any clever tricks to help with that? I've read...

Here is some pic/video. I do think the main issue is the hose being too short so I'll get a longer one or use a PVC anchor as suggested (great tip!). Might have a longer one stuffed somewhere. Well, I guess just a pic - can't upload video apparently. Too bad - it's an entertaining dance.

agreed, great idea.....

good thought.... pics coming. I'll measure it as well

I'll grab some pics tonight

I've tried searching some and not finding an answer (and maybe I don't know how to search correctly so take it easy on me). When I backwash, my hose (a thin blue rubber flexible type) flies around like a bucking Bronco spraying water everywhere. I've tried to pin it down some with paving...

Just bought a house with existing IG pool and learning how to do things right! Glad to have found TFP - just my kind of thing. Teach me the "why" and I can run with it!
