Thank you all. I will have to tackle this after I return. The only store test was to satisfy the Circupool guy who didn't trust my zero phosphate result and it matched mine. SeemsTF-100 has the same tests as the K-2006??? What is the distinction? Test strips are only for salt, borate, and...

I am really struggling with keeping FC up to target levels even with very high CL generator settings. I hope you can guide me to a solution. Several months ago my pool began a slow increase in required CL gen (installed March 2019) settings from normal 20-30% up to 90% now. Supposedly this...

At JamesW suggestion, I tried pressurizing the system with a garden hose from the bottom of the skimmer and from the pool cleaner port and never could develop more than 3-4psi at the top of the filter. Just don't have a fitting to get good enough seal I guess. I even tried shutting off supply...

A couple pics of suction setup

I top off manually. Hadn't added water since mid July until the refill. Refill water is PH over 8+ and TA is 60 with the softener bypassed.

I have been scouring your website off and on for weeks and have tried to follow every piece of guidance I could glean from your great pool school, pool math and similar issue post responses. My situation: I have a 7 year old, plaster pool in east central Florida, no water features, inside of a...
