Will do. Thanks.

The pool shop test reinforced my home test. Normally just rely on home test, but due to the change in CYA I did a pool shop test to confirm. CYA is 1-2 months old. With the CYA, I did aim for 70, but as per earlier post, I added 2kg of CYA when levels were 40ppm only to end up back at...

Starting levels at midday Wednesday TA 135 pH 7 FC 3.6 Salt 3900 (have now added 60kg of salt) CH 327 CYA 44 Phos 0 updates since Wednesday: Wednesday night: added liquid chlorine to boost level to 12ppm. Overnight set SWG at 0%. Thursday: During the day SWG at 100% for 13 hours. Thursday...

Yes. Although a number of posters thought it was unnecessary. Just need to find a shop that stocks it.

I have been thinking that. It is the only thing I haven’t tried. Just need to find a place around here that stocks it. My normal pool shop didn’t have it.

I can do that.

Tested last night after SWG stopped. Added 4 liters of liquid chlorine (to get to 10ppm). Then tested today at around 9am shortly after SWG started.

Unfortunately I only have the free version of the app so no logs. However, today was the first time in about 4 months for adding salt. I don’t think that I have added calcium in more than 12 months. It is only chlorine and CYA that is a disappearing. While I suspect I may have a small leak...

Just on the CYA levels. In the last 2 months I have added 9-10kgs of CYA. Yet the current level is 44ppm. So something is destroying my CYA.

Below is a photo of the cover. It is made of 100s of cushions all isolated from each other. There was muck in a few cushions that were cut open on the edges, but the rest are still intact and sealed.

Yes. But I have trimmed the entire outside inch off and it was also been used during the slam and when there was no chlorine loss at the end of the slam. I was also have chlorine loss when the cover was not on.

Update from Sunday. Did a OCLT overnight. Chlorine loss was 5-6ppm. Also did a test at pool shop this morning to confirm, my testing levels as follows: TA 135 pH 7 FC 3.6 Salt 3900 (have now added 60kg of salt) CH 327 CYA 44 Phos 0 To give context to above results. - 10 days ago I completed a...

I did an OCLT with a loss of 2.5ppm (6.5 to 4). I also have added 2kg of CYA yet stabilizer over the last week yet CYA level has not shifted since testing a week ago. Since completing the last slam, the only change is to add the CYA and some calcium. Maybe two swims at most. Pool crystal clear...

Thanks for the above! I missed it before and have been using an old black sock. Is that an issue? The reason is ask is that, my chorinator is not maintaining chlorine levels. Wednesday at 9am chlorine at 9ppm. By Friday night, chlorine has dropped to 5.5ppm. This is with the chlorinator at 6/8...

Now that the slam is finished, what is the best way to get the CYA levels back up? Should I boost the CYA level up to 70 now and then slowly lower chlorine levels or should I lower chlorine and then boost CYA levels. Assuming that I haven’t lost any CYA since last test, it should be around...

It was 16ppm to start with. However, pool has since passed the OCLT.

6am FC at 14.5 so not quite there yet. But that is the best overnight result to date.

Just gave the cover another scrub (semi-submerged). So hopefully got everything…

Thanks mate. Good news FC at 15ppm after the whole day with the cover on (now 7.30pm). I’m glad to have just trimmed an inch around the outside rather than throw the whole thing out (saved myself $1k). I spoke with the manufacturer and they indicated a quick brush around the edges is good...

I just managed to semi-submerse it and scrub the surface. Will see how that goes.

FC at 13 or 13.5ppm at 6am (last drop was a double). Cover back on over night to stop heat loss. So could be cover causing the drop even though I have trimmed dirty sections.

FC at 13ppm 6.30pm. Today: 1. Trimmed edges of the pool cover where black crud was located. Cover off for most of the day. 2. Removed what I think was a light cover and cleaned behind, but nothing of note in there. Was only loosely fitted so water circulating through there. 3. Long back wash...

A new cover is around $1k I think….

I might be able to trim off the edges to remove the bits with crud on it.

A few photos of the pool. I also noticed that there is some Crud along the edges of my pool cover (see photo). Could this be a potential source? Not sure how to get rid of this as it is embedded in the cushions of the cover.

Water temp is 30 degrees
