Ok so we had a storm recently ( multiple power outages in a few hour period)that i think killed our SWG cell. New one on order, i hope. Hubby is handling that i hope (its under warrantee wooohooo!!)
Sad part is we didnt notice for almost two weeks that the SWG wasn't working. I was checking frequently but not enough to notice the subtle changes happening. Yes i know Bad pool people. ( kill me...end of school year for me and kids, work full time, and both kids play competitive soccer....not busy at all....lol..lol..lol..) So last week pool turned cloudy and maybe had a green tinge. I made sure my ph was in range and kept my chlorine as close to 5 as i could. Well low and behold yesterday we determined that the cell was not working. MY pool is somewhat cloudy, maybe a green tinge, and i have boatman bugs!!!!!!!!
My readings yesterday were
FC 4
CC 0
TA 80
CYA 40
ph 7.2-7.3
( if i am missing numbers i am at work and this all i can remember)
calcium is a bit low at 150 but i am a fiberglass pool and will add some once i get my SWG back working.
so other than added chlorine (bleach)every night ( i am a nurse who works 12 hours shifts and wont be off to check more frequently till weekend)...
any other advice as what else i should be doing till i get my SWG cell working again?? ..and how do I get rid of the bugs!!!!! They are gross
And yes, i will do a SLAM once i have my pool up and running properly!!!!!

And i added more bleach after these readings....so hopefully chlorine is higher.

Absolutely! I just realized my post #6 was messed-up, so I corrected the verbiage. When is Friday going to get here? :gone:
