    To Slam or not to slam?

    That's something I missed. I knew that FC went away with sunlight, but I didn't see where CC also burned off w/ sunlight. I'll remove the cover today. Tom

    To Slam or not to slam?

    Kabutotx, I didn't get your post in time. SLAM started yesterday evening. As stated above, CYA is 40. FC is held at 19 and CC is still 2, after 24 hours. I'm kind of guessing at the right SLAM levels because of the auto cover. I have an outdoor, in-ground pool, but it is not exposed to the air...

    To Slam or not to slam?

    OCLT came back with 0.1 clorine loss. Not sure what you mean by a short SLAM, but I'll start that process over the weekend. Is CC=2.0 considered high, or just elevated?

    To Slam or not to slam?

    I didn't test my water right at opening because I thought I'd give my SWG a chance to catch up from the winter's sleep. Pool opening never gives me any surprises, the water is always as clear as the summer before. But... My CC is 2.0 FC = 5.5 pH =7.6 TA = 225 CH = 180 CYA = 40 Salt = 3100 Temp...

    Is SWG pool drain water harmful to plants?

    My CH is getting to be consistently over 300 and I have a vinyl liner and SWG. The recommendation of PoolMath is to replace 20% of the water. That's about 3400 gallons in my case. I have no easy way to get that much water down the sewer drain, so my option is to pump it onto the yard or other...

    CYA for SWG + Outdoor + Liner + Autocover

    I bought the Taylor as soon as I stumbled across TFP a couple of months ago. I know I should test at least weekly- I'm getting there. I got the impression from other posts that CYA should be at a level that would cover 'worst-case' scenario, ie: if I had no cover. In any case, I thought that it...

    CYA for SWG + Outdoor + Liner + Autocover

    Let's just say CYA was so low that it barely registered on the fancy testing machine at the pool store. I now use my own kit at home. Current CYA last weekend was 50 after my first round of dosing. CYA was added 9 days ago, so it has had time to dissolve prior to the last test. Other threads...

    CYA for SWG + Outdoor + Liner + Autocover

    I'm shooting for a CYA of 70 for my pool. It seems that the previous owner neglected CYA, or had advice that he didn't need it due to the Autocover. (I received this advice from the pool store too). CYA was around 10 when we bought the place last year. Is this a good target, keeping in mind that...
