Sorry for all the questions. Can you explain how the auto cover affects the pool water. I was told to open the cover a few hours a day minimum. I have been letting it open most of the day and evening. I notice when I open it the water looks different. More daul if that makes sense. Also I...

He just got in. Hes thinking it's better for us to wait until the end of the season since for us isnt very far away

Thank you. I do not like hauling the jugs. That's good to know about the fc. I worry doing slam that its going to bring the iron back out. I asked in the equipment forum and someone posted the Circupool RJ series. Once my husband home from work I'm going to show him and make an order. greatly...

I also just found an article here on forums about run time. We do run our pool very warm in the summer. I made a post this morning questioning SWG. Once I get some feedback and order a system this is something I'll have to keep an eye on and adjust

lol thank you. I'll keep it running all the time. Just wanted to double check ?

Question. Searching the forum for different answers I find that everyone runs their pools a different amount of hours. We were started out with an ionizer and ozone. The only way I could somewhat keep the copper consistent was to run 24/7. recently switching to chlorine we've continued to run...

Thank you!

Okay. Thank you. All of my origianl equipment is pentair. Guessing a starting point would be contacting them then search your site for something they recommend to find some reviews

Great. Do you make equipment recommendations on this forum. I dont have any explanation of how zero cya. She was going away as I was coming home so I haven't gotten to talk with her. I know we got very heavy rains while I was away but I dont know if she kept the auto cover on or not. I should...

Hello. I'm still battling. I just got back from a 10 day vacation. I had a friend stay that took care of home dogs and pool. Gave testing instructions but it must not have gone well. She was also using the pool. I came home to 0 FC 0 CYA I'm assuming from adding the sequestering it depleted...

You're right. It must have been the sunlight. They're still there. Added some more metal magic. Since everything is testing well I'm going to pray the sequestering keeps me good through the summer. One of the moderators mentioned switching out water and dealing with everything when colder...

Weird enough when I added calcium the slight staining DISAPPEARS

I do have some slight staining that pops up yet. I'm going to use weekly dose of the metal magic and hope to get the majority of water switched out between fall and spring.

Okay. Great. Thanks again for all your help. I'm finally starting to feel a little less anxiety about this pool. Wish I could find time to use it. lol.

Good morning. Thank you for responding. Since I had posted last I did pass the overnight test. Pool is clear and all testing have been within range. I just tested and my calcium is low today. This is the second time that the calcium is running low. Today 100. Why would the calcium be going...

Yesterday I decided to do 2 lb ph reducer and 16 oz metal magic. This morning I switched filters and did all testing. FC 13.5 CC .4 TA 100 CA 50 CYA 40 PH 7.2 I started increasing calcium first dose this morning 2 lbs. I still have slight staining on the bottom of the pool. Should I add...

Also could I put ph reducer in even though knowing could have false high reading from high fc levels

Ugh please help. I thought today was going to be the last day of slam. Holding chlorine level. Filters yesterday were almost running clear. This morning while vacuuming I noticed slight staining starting ? assuming because high chlorine and ph. Should I put ph reducer even though with high...

Question. When I was using shock I was told not to use the auto cover. Using bleach only while doing a slam and I able to use the cover when there is rain.

Thank you so much. I'm really trying. Greatly appreciate this site and all the expert advice ?

I'm I'm re-reading all the information. I was right to start the slam. I promise I'm not a nut. This is overwhelming dealing with all these problems. hopefully iron stays sequestered and this is my last issue ?

After putting more thought I just started slam again. Thinking anytime the CC is above .5 this is what you do to bring it down. Is slam basically the same thing as a weekly shock treatment?

Current results FC 7.2 TC 1.6 PH 7.4 TA 100 CH 80 CYA 60

I just saw you offer an app. I'm going to download it now as well

Hello. Idk if it was the rain I was letting in the pool or if I got algae that I cannot see from letting the chlorine go to zero for the iron treatment. My water is cloudy and all my numbers are off and I cant get stable. CC is also high. I was using the rain to help my cya but I'm not...

As I'm doing this protocol we're getting a lot of rain. Crazy wet weather for us this time of year. Thankfully I need it right now. Its costing for more bleach and ph but I'm letting the pool get as much rain as possible to continue to bring my cya down from current 50. I have some more...

Thank you. I calculated that to a quart of chlorine per my size. I'm assuming I'll do this process like I did the slam. Add every hour until level is reached and then do overnight test to see if held. My pool looks absolutely amazing. It's insane. We were sold the pool with an ionizer and...

Thank you. I should be ready to start adding chlorine soon. It says to make sure to do this slowly. My pool is 15000 I was around 50 cya before this last heavy rain. Will retest before adding chlorine but what is a slow rate of adding chlorine. Thank you UOTE="Texas Splash, post: 1639922...

Thx. instructions on bottle say rebalance water in 24 hr and change out cartridges in 48. Is it okay to use auto cover at this point to help protect from algae. I ordered the polyquat 60. It doesn't arrive until tomorrow. We had a lot of rain yesterday. I took advantage of it and that's what...

Okay chlorine finally down to zero. I'm lowering ph now. Have a question about filtering. The directions say put on circulate initially then back to filtering. I have cartridges so with my system I only have filtering correct. In reference to putting aa in for stains. Thx
