Water chemistry - need help!

Skimmer sock- push em all to the skimmer where they’ll get stuck in the sock & subsequently drown or at least all be in one place to easily dispose of them.

Remember- Always dose w/ liquid chlorine then allow the swg to maintain not the other way around- swg’s are great maintainers but too slow to catch up quickly when demand increases so things can grow in the meantime while your waiting.

You'd be surprised how well this SWG works for me. Maybe it's because the pool is small, but I adjusted yesterday and today the FC is at 6, which tells me I need to lower the %. Tomorrow morning I'll know more.

I'm surprised by this. I can get even the tiniest particles with this.

Got one of those, thanks!

FC was 5.5. Guess I don't need to SLAM it. I might try to increase CYA level a bit.

Back to fighting these bugs.

Is this the result of your Overnight Chlorine Loss Test?
Was your swg off?
Did u test after your nighttime addition
I cannot see your PoolMath logs

Yeah that's my OCLT. 6 at night, 5.5 in the morning before swg was on and any direct day light touched the pool.

Try one of these ultra fine mesh bags, they get everything including the tiniest bugs and pollen.

For the bugs, when I was a kid and we had an above-ground pool, my dad would take the stockings / hose that my mom discarded due to runners & stretch it around a coat hanger to make a very fine net. Basically the same idea as the skimmer socks these days. It would catch anything.
