2 months ago I was going to Leslie’s 2-3 times per week running perfect weekly, poolrx, clear aid, pool refresh, dichlor tablets amongst other chemicals along with 12-20 psi filter pressure within 2-3 weeks of a complete grid removals and cleanings using 675 watts to run the majority of the day on like 3 different pump cycles to be sure and turn the pool
over once per day. Constant adjustments like 3 times per week etc.
With your guys’ help I’m now using literally liquid chlorine from Walmart and 31.45% muriatic acid from Home Depot with some baking soda on hand. The Taylor test kit and speed stir are huge huge time savers and are so much more accurate and consistent it’s crazy compared to how I was trying to do it. The 2 pool maintenance people we had it really showed me how bad they were and how much money we could save.
My pump now runs 24/7 at about 125 watts, 1 psi after 5 weeks since last cleaning and only ramps up for needed accessories (heater/swcg coming soon) and I have now had PH at 7.5 (with solar cover on 80% of the time) for 2 weeks with zero adjustment. Chlorine is super predictable and will hopefully be a lot easier and cheaper here soon with an IC60 on the way.
So thank you guys so much. Its been a tremendous help and so nice to know our family and friends are swimming in safe water and algae etc will likely never be a problem!
