Re-checked our TA and it is 80. Going to ask a neighbor to put in SLAM level of chlorine every 3 days while we are out for the week and skip the puck approach.

This is good advice/approach…I may be able to convince a neighbor to do this… it’s not too much chlorine back to back? SLAM’d this past weekend…FC should come down this week and we’ll maintain it at the recommended level then basically back up to SLAM 7 or so days later?

LOL on the list.

hmph…then I’ll add more stabilizer in a sock and dangle it in front of the jet starting now…since it won’t impact CYA with adding pucks while on vacation. Would you suggest more than 2 pucks or something else? I would hate to have to slam again! argh.

7 days. I don’t have a neighbor I’d trust to dump the right amount of chlorine in the pool. Good to know 3.5-4ppm loss per day isn’t unheard of…what CYA is that at?

Another successful SLAM thanks to the TFP method. Thank you for everyone’s contributions! For anyone frustrated with their pool, don’t worry it only took me 5 years to figure it all out. From what I am reading, losing 2.5 PPM from 8am to 12pm is probably too rapid and CYA should be increased...

Well we finally got this wet stuff pouring out of the sky last night. It’s been 50 years since I’ve seen …I think it’s called... rain? We nearly have an infinity pool now. Will have to drain it later today so our skimmer can do it’s job, which means double yay…our CYA will get a slight dip.

thank you for the advice!

Should I add muriatic acid to lower PH first? Wait 30m, test to confirm it’s under 7.8? Then add LC to raise to the ideal range? Added the below to my original post: March of this year, CH was 420ppm TA 2/3 120ppm 3/3 100ppm 3/17 100ppm 3/23 100ppm 5/18 120ppm

thanks for the tip on connecting the app logs to my profile…looks like that works now. Still trying to figure things out with the app...

Hi Pool Experts! I’ve learned so much reading other threads and the pool school articles and finally (after 5 years of pool ownership) feel like I have a better understanding of pool chemistry. 14k gal pool, plaster, resurfaced April ’23 Test Results 16 days ago I did the OCLT and we had less...
