The SLAM is done I passed OCLT this morning!!! Whoo Hooo!!!! again Whooo Hoooooooo!!!! :rockon: Almost three weeks but WE did it! Thanks ALL at TFP & holding our hands & the priceless advice we cannot get anyplace else :lovetfp: Stay tuned going to get SWCG next & pool cover... ohh my what a...

Happy to say at least it has slowed down since the beginning... We would need to add it up from our notes (pages of them). Just guessing on last weeks bleach adds about 4-5 jugs 121oz 8.25% daily - again thats a guess. Most times after writing test results we'd just put FC result into pool math...

We have a compressor & wiil try that along with "rubber plug" . PB says its their "standard" way to install lights...no plug /cap. PB warranty tech is coming out Friday to inspect them. Didnt pass OCLT Sun 8:45 pm FC 20 CC 1 Mon 4am FC 18 CC1... Why does CC get down to .5 during day but...

No WAY you are NOT - we feel like the KING OF DUMMIES here just figuring this out about 3 weeks from our 1st Thread...!??? Jeez We know the lens can be removed - we watched the PB service tech do it! & by accident we did it too. The bulb looked replaceable - but PB said the mfg would warranty...

Our light design photos. Will get the PB on the phone & go from there & advise more then. We'll show them the picture of the "typical lighting niche" and ask about ours & hope they have a good solution. Our luck they will tell us to put a piece of bubble gum in the back of the lighting PVC...

Re: Slam 48 hours in - What am I doing wrong? & Rain & wiring conduit input needed Exactly - there is NO Seal Cap or rubber grommet "sealing the PVC"... We asked about that being "open PVC" upon install & they said what you did "is designed such that even if water fully infiltrated it, the...

Re: Slam 48 hours in - What am I doing wrong? & Rain & wiring conduit input needed Still slamming here... more questions - anyone? My OCLT didn't pass, we've had 2 down pours / monsoon rain in the past two days/nites & yes the auto cover has been off completely & not going back on. I've been...

Gilrock - sorry about that! Got it. Hear you on the Frog & yeah its basically "tabs" in a fancy cartridge that sits inside the housing & runs water inline onto the bottom vented cartridge openings splashes water thru cartridge & CL water out to pool. Its adding the bad stuff now - but until we...

Will stay at shock level & hope I don't run Walmart & HomeDepot out of Bleach... I emptied the shelf on Cortaro last week! Ammonia test kit? worth it or no? On my way to town now - should be back before Midnite ? (Gilroc that's for you LOL!) Country living is great - until you have to go to...

The test today when I got home was FC 12.5, CC 1.5 PH7.3, ALK 230, CH325 & CYA 50. Until my SWG is here & installed... I restarted my Frog System & the Frog was on high 10 setting (10ppm) & it held my FC some from Monday when the last Slam was interrupted by work out of town. So I start my...

Pool cover was off for Slams. It Was on while out of town these past 2days. Good info - thanks!

My pool neighbor wasn't available to help these past 2 days to continue my 2nd Slam... Would my 3rd Slam attempt work any better if I went with a higher bleach %? Vs the 8.25% I have been using prior? Can I try to get it to "Mustard" FC slam level ? Do I guess I have an ammonia issue? Or will...

Re: Slam 48 hours in - What am I doing wrong PART2 Sparkly pool - cleanest sparkly I've ever seen!

This is the inside of my Frog (NOT in use) there are no cartridges in it. I found this same tan (not really yellow) on the skimmer basket & the diverter under it & Pre Pump basket. I scrubbed w/bleach - it wasn't slimy & it was hard to get off. My pool/spa lights didn't have any of this in...

Great info all - will do!

wink, wink, nod, nod say no more! :goodjob:Got it & Thank you

Crud typo - the last test 2:15 was NOT CC11 it was 1... JEEZ O'BROTHER!!! DID I DO THAT? MAN! current tests from there are: Tested at 4:00 FC 19 CC 1 5:00 FC 18.5 CC 1.5 Ideas? Mustard level shock? almost out of daylight - keep it up over night? hourly? I can do that vs. more burn off during...

In reading a little from Chem Geek's threads... "way over my head" but cool somebody knows that much!!! Do I drain the pool now & refill? Only 19mo old pool, trucked in water for $1800 vs. "cannot use well water for luxury uses = pool filling" or keep the race on with bleach and bump up to...

I originally started a Thread in Test Kits/ LaMotte & started a new thread here... this is SLAM TIME! (I know you only lose algae around here - but I hope this thread here is correct) I will learn grasshopper - keep teaching please & tell me to stay here or go back? PreSlam test on 7/11 3pm FCL...
