Update: OCLT passed. But I would like to use metal brush for the sides since it’s very stubborn. Any advisory? Should I use algaecide?

On OCLT page, it stated to turn off chlorine feedersprior to testing. So with a tablet floater, would I just simply remove it from the pool? This morning’s level: FC: 7.5 CC: 0.0 CH: 400 TA: 100 CYA: 40 pH: 7.8 Will attempt OCLT tonight. Bright side, it has been two weeks since our last pool...

No cooper in water. I have noticed parts of my walls are now spotty, so it’s slowly coming off. Do I need to SLAM? No more than 0.5-1ppm loss overnight but my OCLT is not accurate as my pump is on at night and my chlorine tablet floater is in water. Tomorrow night, I will attempt to do a...

Thanks! I thought my numbers were fine, but am I misunderstanding that my total chlorine shouldn’t be exceeding 3? Mines 8.

Hi TFP, I thought I was getting the hang of everything but maybe not. Different websites are indicating different things. Used TF 100 kit: ph: 7.5 CYA: 40 TA: 100 CH: 325 FC: 7.5 CC: 0.5 TC: (7.5+0.5=8)? I inputted my results to path math and not much alerting information other than lowering...

thank you!

Hello, I have a little lap pool for my kids. Pool was recently drained & rebalance. Cost a good arm and leg. Definitely don’t want to do continuous weekly service, can I get a dumb down of pool maintenance? I have a tfp testing kit. I have approx 20 gallons of chlorine. Pool vacuum is in the...

Correct it'll be hard to drain and refill myself, if that's the case I'm willing to fork up $$. I will order more LC and start my SLAM

Pool was neglected due the crazy winter storms we endured this year. Now it's time to start cleaning up the pool, checking if this is doable or should I just hired someone to clean it 😅 I have tf kit and about 10gallons of LC on hand at the moment.

No the pump was not under water for any long period of time aside mini showers prior to summer.

Thanks for the manual! The screen does not display anything. On “run” mode, it’s dark, on “set schedule” it lights up but that’s it

We purchased this house in July. The previous owner used to have the a scheduled timer for the pump to run from 2AM-11AM, but I noticed it stopped working. In order for the pump to start, Ive been turning it on “Run” mode. When I move it to “Set Schedule” the screen is just blank so I’m not sure...

Results as follows: FC: 7(?) CC: 0 CYA: 110 PH: 8.2 TA: 210 CH: 410

No test results yet, still waiting for tf-100 to arrive in the mail. So I’ve been pouring 1/4 to 1/2 gal of LC each day to maintain it until then.

Last Saturday vs Today

Thanks for the clarity. As of right now, no testing until the kit arrives. I do have the strips from Amazon, but read how inaccurate it can be. I will delay on the LC pouring until then.

I will return to the house shortly and check the pool. I will pour the 10 gal LC in and check on the Pentair 320 inline feeder. I can only assume it’s empty with no tablets. Any recommendation what tablets I need to buy for it?

Thank you! You’re giving me lots of hope!

No pool supplies. He had a weekly pool cleaner but was supposed to leave me his pool cleaners information but did not.

Hello Maddie, this is a newly purchase house so we have not used anything for the pool.

No I do not, but I guess there’s a pipe there just in case I was to get solar? That’s what the inspector informed me.
