Hello, looking for some more incite on an air problem I'm having with my system. Towards the end of the season last year, I was getting a lot of small air bubbles from from first in line return jet. This year upon opening the pool, it has gotten worse. I've had a hard time getting the pump to...

Maybe a dumb question, maybe not. I do the Taylor drop test for my PH in the small tester that does both PH and Chlorine. My question is, after adding the 5 drops, do you simply invert the container a couple times or shake to mix? Simple invert, my PH is high, shake to mix, PH is around 7.6-7.8.

Happy to report that I had little to no debris on the bottom of the pool today. Pool is clearing up, can see the bottom of the deep end fairly easily now. Can’t do an ONCT till Saturday though.

Bad news, I’m almost out of R-0871 and my delivery of new was moved to Saturday

Thank you, will do! Should I continue to stay a SLAM level as well?

I believe that the pressure gauge is working properly. It rises when adding the DE. If I don't add the DE, its seems as though pressure doesn't rise when filtering. If I backwash, the sight glass is very green even without the pressure raising the 25%. I was adding testing FC every couple hours...

At least once, sometimes twice a day.

Gonna be kind of long one, but here goes. Around two weeks ago, I thought for sure I was dealing with pollen in the pool. Water was still pretty clear but the bottom of the pool was dirty/greenish yellow. I was able to get almost completely cleaned up with the combo of filter socks and adding...

Is there a hose attached filter out there anywhere to filter alkaline?

I’m currently following it PRECISELY . I had a question on what do to with CYA during SLAM. I had tested at 20-25 then storms added about 4 inches to the pool and I started to read 0 after

Below 20.

Yeah, it was consuming it completely a couple days ago. The wife is going to get a crash course tomorrow, if she wants her party to happen next Sunday, she’ll be an astute student lol For reference: was losing about 2 PPM roughly every 2 hours yesterday evening. Tested before bed and was at 14...

Was reading up on ammonia, you think it’s possible that’s what happened? I feel that I’m on the right track now. Chlorine is not disappearing upon treatment and over night test is getting better.

FC was down to 2 or 3 this morning. I was in a rush and forgot to check CC. Off to purchase more chlorine later.

Put two gallons in and tested 30 minutes later at 15FC and .5CC. We’ll see what the morning brings. Good news is I’m home for 4 nights before heading of to Montana!

Thank you for the vial cleaning tip! Tested again, down to 1.5 FC and .5 CC. I have 4 gallons left on hand. What would be the suggestion for tonight?

Just purchased refill kit this spring.

The confusing part is I tested chlorine after the pump had not ran for 3 days and it tested the same (4) as its testing now. This was all today. Got home at five, vacuumed to waste, skimmed the pool, tested water. Turned filter on with sock in the basket and continued to skim pool. Added the 3...

Got it at Menards. The code on the bottle is 240411-9.

I vacuumed to waste, skimmed the pool, and put a sock on the skimmer. Filter pressure is fine. Testing with the TF-100 kit. I know it’s a process, as I said, I travel for a living and it’s not the easiest to stay on top of it for a couple days at a time. My main question is there a reason the 3...

To start off, I travel for a living so getting the pool open and clear can be a challenge. My pool is green every opening. So to get into it. Opened with CYA at 20. TA at 120. Put two gallons of 12% in and could see the bottom of the shallow in the next morning! FC was 20 the night before, 18...
