Thnaks, I am very aware of the increase in CYA, as I monitor it , and since I only use pucks when on vacation, I only need to partially drain/refill pool every few years

LC would be great, but more expensive. If I only use the chlorinators with tablets when on vacation like I do now and monitor CYA, any disadvantages to the auto feeder that use tablets?

oh I see, the tabs are no "sitting in a tub of water" to then dispense when pool pump engages, but water only runs over them when pump is on

Hmm, trying to visualize. I cannot find a good picture of a Stenner Pump , but other feeders look like they are large tanks to hold tablets than have and in/out tube for the water, with dial control for concentration. Sam idea? soem or only about $100, but is Stenner better?

OK thanks, but question on chlorine feeders like Stenner Pump. I have been told to not put pucks in skimmer due to build up when pump is off then sudden release. Wouldn't these pumps have the same issue (of course I know very little about these pumps)

I have been searching, and I thought it a great business opportunity, for someone to offer service only when on vacation. I would pay many times the usual 1 month rate myself for this service, but haven't found anyone yet :)

I always use liquid chlorine (per TFP) except when on vacation. Then I use the floating dispenser with 3" tablets (and closely monitor my CYA). However, the dispensers seem too slow. I even use two floaters for a 26K gallon pool and they hardly keep up with demand. Any suggestion for faster...

thanks much

OK, so it should level out to a more slow FC burn off as it gets closer to my target of 7? Just to understand

40 as I listed

FC was 17 this morning

now fc 9. cya 40. ph 7.5, ta 100, cc 0.5

yes as mentioned as no loss on oncl test

I just finished my slam after 3 days I had 0 oncl and 0 CC this morning. FC was at 17, but later in the day it went down to 9. I also had a little bit of CC maybe 0.5. since my slam is done going from 17 to 9 seems like a lot of loss of fc and I was wondering does fc drop faster when it's at...

I am still learning. I have just a couple of small algae patches this winter, but now I learned that I was not skimming properly and had my FC too low. I have now increased my FC to 4-6, with CYA of 30 (increasing that slowly to 40 as per suggestions here with pucks). My CC =0. So far so...

thanks, but I don't think that is the issue because my chlorine level does not go down much even after a couple days. it could be debris but it seems to accumulate right where the algea normally does so I guess if it comes back I will try to slam it

I just discovered I was not skimming , had it set up wrong (probably for months), now fixed, could that be the issue?

done!

sorry have to run will create signature when I get back, but I am using the Recommended Taylor kit TF100 w/ Speedstir

plaster pool, 18000 Gallons

FC=5.5, TC=5.5, PH= 7.5, alkalinity=90, Calcium hardness = 250, CYA=30 are you saying amount of filtration is not a factor? First time I heard that?

I am getting a bit of algae even in the winter. All my chemicals are balanced, but I have a Pentair - IntelliFlo in northern California, and am running at 1500 RMP for 10hrs per day. Do you think that is too low of RPM and/or too short of time?

I do have a good test kit so yes I do need to measure more exactly but I usually can get pretty accurate with the test strips if I dilute it with 50% non pool water to get more accuracy and with the 50% diluted it comes in around 40 or 50 PPM

I only use liquid chlorine to treat my plaster in-ground pool, EXCEPT when on vacations or away for a few day, then tablets. I have not drained my pool for 5 or 6 years, and the CYA has creeped up to around 100 (not sure need to test more accurately only on test strip), but I know it is high as...
