Yes, first year with pool I have a bed behind the back raised pool wall. I'm seeing some that seem to be coming from there so it has to be. This is the first year with the pool so all landscaping is new. Originally I had a small layer of mulch in that bed. Recently (to try and improve soil...

I can’t seem to get rid of them.. 😭

Thank you, def look like springtails! will read up!

I started noticing something on top of the water 2 days ago. Thought it was just debris, but upon closer look its some type of bug floating on top of the water, and they can jump. It appears they jump onto the tile just above the water line. They're really only in once section of the pool, to...

Awesome, good job!!

Here's what they are from Walmart. Probably going to just return them. I've decided against using these while I'm away as it seems the SWG will keep up and I don't wanna risk the floater with the tabs staining any of the plaster. HTH Tabs

Okay, so here's where I'm at and what I've done the past 48 hours SALT Tested my salt and it was at 800. Added 7 x 40lb bags (280lbs), retested next day as salt was at 2800. Added 1 more bag and next day salt now reads at 3400. Will check again when I get back from my trip. CYA My CYA has...

Check the SLAM chart on this page https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/18/free-chlorine-and-cyanuric-acid-relationship-explained/ Find your corresponding CYA and then look at the SLAM FC level CYA 50 = 20 FC for slam So you’ll hold at 20 until - Once all three of these criteria are...

I’ll let someone else confirm, but I would say no because your CC is already over 0.5 so no point waiting 7.9 isn’t too bad honestly, mine constantly hovers at 7.9 it seems, but if you wanna add some acid to drop it I don’t see why not, I would I guess my main concern for you is keeping the...

I’m new to pool care but I’m pretty sure the cloudy water has nothing to do with the pump. Your CC is 1.5 and should be 0.5 or less, so that means you need to slam. https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2018/12/12/slam-shock-level-and-maintain/ For CYA of 50 you’ll need to bring your FC up to 20...

Also, I am going to be away from the pool for 4 days soon, and probably won’t have enough time to dial in the SWG to trust my FC levels while gone Also been constantly having to add acid daily to keep pH below 8.2 What would the recommendation be while I’m gone? Should I use pucks as Ive read...

I just started up my SWG for the first time. Does this all look okay? (I added another bag of salt so should eventually climb up to around 3200ppm)

Curious, say my cya is 80 (SWG) and I wanna keep it at the high end so 11 FC How would one test the daily pH?

🤦🏻‍♂️ thank you guys

Hi Everyone I’ve searched a lot today for an answer and can’t find it. All pump related posts and suggestions use the RPM unit, yet I can’t find any info on how to figure out what my pumps RPMs are at different speed percentages, the OmniLogic app only shows the %…

Good news, got the spill over scheduled and working! For now running at 70% (I don't know the equivalent RPMs..but that looked the best) Thanks for the info on the SWCG, esp the safety stuff. I'll have to read up on past forum posts to learn about this more. Thanks for the tip using the TFP...
