The light is built to be removed from the pool deck. With the right brush, you may be able to scrub the niche from the deck. If it were me, I would get in with goggles so I can see and scrub everything.

That's what my plan is. I'd rather get close and scrub then try and do it like a monkey in a tree.

I added 2 quarts of CL. Should it be dropping this much? Hopefully it's because it's doing its job.

Side question. I have the stirrer that TF sells. It said to add a dry mixer into the vial. Does it have to be bone dry or just a good wash and towel between tests?

You still have algae somewhere...we gotta find it. Do you know how to remove the weir doors on your skimmers. Gotta look at the foam in the weir doors for algae...another place it likes to hide.

Add a dry mixer? You mean the little X you put into the vial that spins. I rinse everything between tests and dry with coffee maker filters. Towel is fine. Once a week I clean them with alcohol. If I do a salt test, I always clean with alcohol after the test.

I do not know how to remove them. I did scrub inside the skimmers, the two doors had grime on the edges that I got off.


Yes, sorry, the x plastic piece. You have more than one? Maybe I should get an extra.

No, just one. During slam, why don't you wipe the vials between tests with rubbing alcohol (and let dry before reuse), will eliminate any contamination that might cause test result variation. Not really needed day to day.

Not a bad idea. I have a vial that I dedicated only to chlorine as well.

For the CC, when you add the 5 drops in, how pink is pink? The one this morning I had to hold up to the light before I noticed the slightest pink color.
 
OMG.

The amount of stuff in the cave. Holy moly. Plumes of clouds as I was scrubbing.:sick:

The black stuff along the top of the light, is that supposed to be some kind of sealent?

Not sure if it's supposed to go all the way around.
