The sun is shining and my pool is open in northwest Indiana!
We closed late and have opened early. Water looks pretty much perfect.
My sweet spot for the water level is the second screw head up from the bottom on the skimmer mouth. The skimmer will take in water 2" below and almost 2" above that point but that's the magic spot I settled on.
My question is this..... Since I set my "gallons" to be 17,100 (27' X 46") in pool math, what affect does less or more water make to the health of the water? Those 2 inches amount to several hundred gallons. When it comes to gallons in Pool Math, I usually set it and forget it.
(I do manage the water in the pool, but not usually until it gets to either extreme).
Edit......For whatever reason I had been using 17,100. But 27'x46" is actually 16,500.
