Pre pool opening (white water mold)

Frog cycler system for inground pools. Can I have the hub take it to lowes and match it up or is it something special?

(Maybe when this started leaking is when I started noticing the “air bubble” in the pump basket)

Model #5400 comes up for the unit. See if that # is stamped anywhere

Amazon replacement if so. (I'd bet a paycheck it's proprietary and Lowes won't have it). But this is the exact thing I like the pool store for. Who cares it's $3 more if they not only know which one, but have it in stock *today*

its on the return side after the pump. It's pushing water, not sucking air. :)
 
Well that makes me feel better -maybe
We're gonna make you SUPER fun at parties

Guests; *talking about guest things*

BPM : Did you all know that a leak before the pump will suck air, but the same leak after the pump will blow water ?

Guests : *Ooohs and Ahhhs*

I'm like 21% certain it'll go exactly like that. 😁

Good morning .
Looks like I’m slamming on. Lost 2 overnight.
I have guest coming today, and have turned the heater on for the first time in months. Will this affect chemistry in any way?

Nope. (y)

The only thing I got left is to lower the water to get under the cover for cleaning. I'm legit grasping at straws here, but literally every last other inch has been addressed. Several times. Your effort across the board has been exemplary as well.
 
I am still wiping algae from the skimmer, so it’s coming from somewhere 🤷🏼‍♀️

However I am not seeing it on the pool floor. I only had the aha moment a few days ago that what I thought was dirt lining the edges of the pool floor, the last week or so must have been algae . As mentioned this is my first battle with algae . So I’ve learned a few things these past weeks lol
Algae is not necessarily green being the biggest one 🤯

I don’t necessarily see it on the pool surface, but I do see something on the surface of the skimmer water …. Shiny like zillion little particles . Biofilm?
Like broken up lotion or sunscreen kind of look

Well then. Not much to do then besides keeping the FC up while you wait it out. Maybe it'll burp out some intermittent chunks like this one after a OCLT pass yesterday.

:epds:
