Hmmm, never thought of that. Skimmer is also full in morning by the time I go outside….once I empty basket and skim water it’s a done deal. I guess it’s actually fairly manageable lol, it just drives me mad that they won’t trim their tree 😝

Every morning I come out the pool is full of red flowers from tree….

Hey y’all….its winter and my inground is closed but this past autumn drove my a bit mad. Our backyard neighbor has an out of control crepe Myrtle tree that had a billion flowers that all ended up in my pool. I’ve hinted at them trimming it. Is there a realistic leaf net that I can put over...

Thank you! I raised it to 16 again this morning because I had 1 Cc ( yesterday I had 1/2 cc). Water is clear.

Hey guys….sorry to keep beating this up. I have a 350 gal tub usually around 100 degrees. I use the color block just to have an idea of FC content and I normally add a couple oz of liquid chlorine in mornings which will boost it 5 ppm at be all set for the day. Heavy loads I add more. Tub...

I also use the frog ease and I think it may contain CYA

I just did a few cya tests and for some reason it’s at 80-100. I’ve never added stabilizer and when I stopped using powder chlorine ( has cya) my cya was around 30 ( unless I did test wrong back then. I think I’m gonna drain 1/2 tub at least at start again with full tests

Thanks guys. Refilled 2 months ago. I use liquid chlorine daily and toss 1/2 caplful of clear and fresh in on Fridays. Never had CC before and never had water sample not stay clear. Water is clear as bell 300 gal

Clear and fresh

See above posts. Sample turning pink after it turns clear so I can’t even do a CC test Using liquid chlorine. I use some non chlorine shock once a week. Having 4 CC yesterday very unusual.

I did a CC on hot tub yesterday and showed 4 so I wanted to repeat it today. Just a few unusual things happening

Can u be more specific? 8 drops turned it clear. Before I could start the CC test it was pink again. In my pool the FC is at 8-10 ppm always and the sample remains clear

Thank u. So it’s normal to turn pink again? I never noticed that before

Testing hot tub water again today using FAS/DPD. 8 drops turns it all clear and then it turns pink again. Scratching my head. Just keep adding drops? Thanks

Thanks guys. So here’s a wrinkle….just tested the pool and was 8.5 ppm which is my perfect target. I did a block test to compare and it’s dark. The hot tub was 4 ppm higher and the block test was way way lighter This is the pool at 8.5 ppm:

Hey guys. I use the block with the droppers to test my hot tub water pretty much every other day and add liquid chlorine accordingly. Today I decided to do a fas/dot test. Significantly different results. The block shows around 1 ppm. Fas/dpt test was 12.5 ppm. Crazy huh? So for...

My be pool installer told me it was ok to vacuum to backwash when I’m lowering my water volume after a big rain. He said you kill two birds with one stone….drain pool and get a free backwash too

Says my CSI is 0.56

Yes I use pool math. Thanks for your help. I didn’t know I was supposed to keep adding drops until no more color change. It clearly does not state that in the TF 100 instructions. It went from black at 6 drops to very red at 7. I stuck with 70 alkalinity. I’ll see how ph reacts Regarding...

I stop adding drops when vial turns red completely

It was around 8 this morning. I added a bit of acid I don’t have the fill levels. If 50 is fine then when do we have these charts with optimal levels that we are supposed to shoot for?

Hi guys A month ago my TA was 80. Today it’s 50. I want to goose it back to around 65-75. I’m trying to follow the chart with the ideal values Plan is to start with one lb. How long to wait before re testing? Broadcast the powder and then brush everything? Is it ok to swim? Thanks

It’s all good now. I just needed to toggle through the diagnostics. It helped being able to do my own salt test and knowing what my actual salt level was. I learn something each day as a new pool owner I’d still like to take cell apart and inspect it etc but I can’t find instructions or a...

I check my pool daily. The pool and all equipment is only two months old. Yesterday my salt reading was 3200. Today I noticed the display was in decimals. When I changed it to normal numbers by bouncing through the diagnostic button, the salt reading switched to 1600 and no the “ inspect...

Hey guys, Without doing a “ daytime chlorine loss test” , approx how much loss is normal per day in heat and sun of July with two or three bodies in pool? 2-3 ppm? My pool water is perfect btw, I’m just always trying to fine tune everything ( what I should do is just leave well enough...
