Thanks...I was wondering about the CYA being so low if that could have any effect on the slam.....I've got 2 gallons of stabilizer coming today. So I'll just continue the slam for another couple of days after adding the stabilizer.

Do I need to be more patient and let the sand filter do its job? I have never had the problem trying to clear up my water as I do right now. I've deep cleaned the sand filter, added 100 pounds of sand and have been slamming for the past 3 days. Brushing 2 time a day and running my robotic...

Thank you....

Opened the pool a couple weeks ago and got everything cleaned and was is the process of balancing the water.... My motor was starting to make a fair amount of noise so I ordered bearing for a rebuild. The pump has not been in service for the last 6 days. Here are my test results right before...

I'm not sure if others would agree but when I go away I increase my pump run time from 7hrs to 10hrs and also increase my salt generator from 35% to 55%. Typically my FC will raise during this period.

I would not depend on the robot cleaning the walls....I still brush once a week. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

I have my timer set to run the pump twice a day for a total of 10 hours. I have the salt output set to 40% but during the hottest times I'll bump it up 50%. When the system shows the salt cell needs cleaning, which is based on run hours programmed into the unit, I plug 1 end and fill with...

We have zero regrets...except not doing it sooner...haha... The best investment so far has been the TF-100 kit. I also learned this past year that I need to remove the underwater lights and clean behind them early in the season after the water is balanced.....I had algae hiding there this...

Congrats on the build....I know you will be very happy with the pool....I purchased the same model back in the fall of 2013 I did not find this site until mid season of my first year. With all the info here I wish I had found it before I bought mine. Here are a couple of pictures of my...

I'm further up north in Maryland. My pool has been staying around mid 60's for about the past 6 weeks. About the first of Oct, when leaves started falling I made sure my pool was balanced then brought it up to shock level. I brushed and put cover on. I have been running the filter and swg, but...

Have you pulled out the lights and checked behind them? I had algae return a couple of weeks after a slam and when I removed my light I was amazed at what I found hiding behind...... Dave

Cut grass then jumped in the pool to cool off. While I was in I decided to remove my light. WOW cleaned the algae.....never did this before....this is my 2nd year with the pool so I'm guessing I'll clean behind the light every spring once the pool is balanced dave

Thanks...will do..... Being this was my first opening and the water looks crystal clear, I could not imagine what was going on.

So I just did the OCLT...last night my FC was 9.5 CC 0.5, water temp was 58 This morning the FC was 8 and CC 0.5, water temp was 50 So with that I guess It's worth Slamming? I guess I stop at the local WallyWorld and pick up a couple cases of bleach

Thanks Jason....I just wrote this on my unit for future reference Thanks Tim, I will do this tonight Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Thanks Jason, So Ive searched around but can not find what the v/a are at full capacity....do you know? Should I continue adding bleach to maintain my FC until the pool warms or should I shock it now? That's great to know...thanks

This is my second season with the pool and the first in which I opened. This morning’s testing results FC-6 CC-0.5 pH-7.6 TA-75 CH-280 CYA-70 Salt-3300 from Aquarite and 3400 from taylor test ket Temp 56⁰ From The Aquarite menu 3300 56⁰ 25.2V 3.11A 100% set to super chlorinate, so I know...

Sorry...Location added. Thanks for the advice....I guess I'll just continue as I am now and when the water is closer to the 50's add the bleach to shock. I was not thinking about the cell life....

This is my first full season with a new fiberglass 14K gal pool. Last season the pool company the installed closed the pool. This year I have been follow the forum and I have been extremely happy with the ease of maintenance of the pool. I am in the process of closing for the season...

Thanks. I guess I'll add the acid to lower the pH to 7.2 then aerate and repeat until I get my TA closer to 80.

So my last post was a question about why my numbers where different then a store’s numbers. So I've decided to put 100% trust in the TF100 kit I purchased a couple of weeks ago, with speed stir, and follow the directions... while keeping a log. My pool is a 14000 fiberglass with a SWG and sand...

I will always have mixed feelings about any stores because ultimately their goal is to sell me a chemical, that’s the main reason I bought the TF100. The latest store results were on a WaterLink Datamate 10 by LaMotte, whatever kind of test that is I do not know. The person took my sample...

I have a question as to why readings with the tf-1oo kit are off compared to a local store. I had my pool installed last fall and basically closed almost immediately. The builder returns and opened the pool mid April. The water was clear over the winter. I was not home at the time but my wife...

I liked the fact that the PB never tried selling an automatic cleaner from the start…and when I asked about them his answer was “try without you can always buy on later”…. But in the short time the pool has been complete the whole manual vacuuming has been a pain…the dirt and worms from after a...

I never thought about a trial. I guess i'll have to ask. When I bought the pool the company salesman talked me out of a cleaner..... His reason was that a fiberglass pool is very easy to keep clean once the water is balanced correctly. He recommended bi-weekly brushing and hand vacuuming when...

Thanks...I was thinking the lip would make it tough for a robot too. I guess I'll start focusing my search more towards a bottom only machine..... Any thoughts on a model
