No. The app is currently set up that way. I assume as we have users all around the world. I do believe a modification is being looked at for the next update.
I have a SWG, and when I notice it's "not keeping up" (usually in the spring, as temps rise and days get longer and I'm adjusting for changing conditions) I boost with liquid chlorine and test frequently. I haven't had to do an actual SLAM. (knock wood.) So far I have always caught it early enough.Thanks you. I haven’t used oxysheen for over a month so I know my readings are good. I have been added liquid chlorine
ok. So I don’t have to SLaM? I can just add liquid chlorine to rapidly raise my chlorine to 6 or 7?
Still having a consistent 2-3ppm loss over night. Here is a question. When I clean my cartridge filter the insert that goes inside of the filter has an arrow that it says to point toward the inlet. Mine will not seat that way and the arrow does not point toward the inlet. Would this cause a problem? I would assume the filter will catch things regardless.That’s what i was thinking..
Hopefully tonight you’ll have less drop after clearing out your water features today. Fingers crossed 4 u!
Rest up for the early morning test
Thank you. I just did that. I have a Pentair Clean and Clear.
So I am still dealing with this. Finally received my CYa reagent. I’ve done 3 drains and full down to the bottom of the skimmer and I’m now reading 60 CYA. I’ve used an insane amount of chlorine so far, all for nothing I’m afraid. I turned my SWG on today to try and help hold some chlorine. I suppose I’ll try to slam tonight. I’ve been at this for over a week and am shocked that I am still seeing OCLT. I’ve never looked so forward to pool closing so I can be done with this.
I just stuck my camera down there to take some pictures and this is what I see. Also when you take the lid off of the skimmer there’s a lot of grossness in there that I Assume is from rainwater. I’ve got some cleaner sprayed on it so you’ll see a little film in my basket but I’m gonna clean all that out however that does not touch my water. What do you think about what you see in my weir doors?
Very good!
It's areas like that which cause FC problems. Without a doubt, algae will not survive in a properly chlorinated environment, so something has been amiss. Perhaps this is the start of changes to come. Now that you've confirmed your CYA at 60, you know to try and maintain the FC of 24 as best as you can. Hope that does the trick.
So is that algae? I just got done scrubbing this out. If it is algae it doesn’t seem like that much and I just would think that having chlorine at 20 would’ve taken care of this. But yes I’m paying close attention to the CYA chart for slam.Very good!
Now what? Look at this. I cleaned the vanity plate. It’s good as new. I don’t know what to do about this and the foam.
I don’t. Do you think this little bit is the culprit?
Ding ding! We have a winner!
remove the foam & soak it & the door in a 50/50 bleach water mix or spray it with clorox cleanup - scrub & rinse it wellllllll.
Replacement foam can be purchased as well.
This algea war is serious business- gotta get sneaky like it is!
Ok. I’m frustrated. I’m adding exactly what the calculator shows, sometimes more, to reach SLAM level. I did so earlier this evening and retested but I’m slightly lower that SLAM level. Now, I either add more and have to wait an hour to retest Or don’t add more and I’ve wasted what I’ve put in so far since it didn’t reach SLAM level? If I’m not hitting that slam target is all of the chlorine I’ve been putting in for nothing?Very good!
No. As long as your FC is above the minimum level for your CYA, you are still killing algae. Just slower than if your FC is at SLAM level.
