Thanks for the info! I have been watching the pool and adjusting chlorine every 2-4 hours (I had to leave for an appointment...thus the four hour gap). I noticed that I am burning chlorine like crazy...way more than before I started the SLAM process yesterday. Over the past few days, I have...

Hi TFP gurus! I am mid-SLAM and I have questions! 1. Vacuuming to waste. Several posts I've read said to vacuum to waste to get rid of the dead algae and other debris. My vacuum is integrated to the pool and runs into the filter. If I *can* vacuum to waste, I don't know how. I usually just...

Well, I went out to brush the pool this afternoon and saw a bit of algae brush off the walls of the pool. Sad. Other than the algae, the pool is clear (I can see the individual pebbles in the plaster on the floor of the pool.) Numbers generally look good, and I'm pretty religious about...

Yes, I am losing less than 1 ppm of FC per day....thanks for your quick response!

Well hello again. I have a question about dosing LC in the winter for a pool that remains open (50-60 degrees typically.) As cooler weather started in November, I was still testing daily, and found that I needed just under a quart a day to keep my pool at 8 FC. When the weather is cold and...

Check again at HD. Just looked and at least as of their current online inventory, they have 9 3-packs available at the Temple store. The chlorine they sell is 10%, and is sold in 3-packs for $9.98. If you buy four 3-packs, they take a dollar off each, so 12 gallons for $35.92 plus tax. Be...

Thanks!

CYA is 50. Going to be gone for 5 days.

Thanks for the info. IceShadow, you are right, I don't close my pool for the wintertime here. I just continue with chlorine, albeit at a much lesser rate, for the duration of the cold months. There have been a number of conversations here about what to do for chlorine while on vacation. I...

Hello again. First of all, I just read through a 17 page thread about clearing cloudy pool water. I am so impressed with the patience you've shown and the help you've given the OP. It is really commendable! I hope her water clears soon! Now for my question. When my pool was finished in...
