Mid afternoon update: CL has dropped down to 18. So that is a 6 ppm loss from this morning. When SLAMing is this faster than usual CL loss expected? Lost .5 over night, lost 6 since this morning.
On a positive note the water quality is already notably improved. We have backed away from swampy green to a greenish blue now. The shallow end is now clear, the deep end still needs some work. Pump still running and I Just got back from the pool store with another 7.5 gallons of concentrated liquid.
Yup, ever since I started May of last year, I have it all logged in my spreadsheet. I could have just been running on borrowed time though. The cycle usually goes something like I check on a Sunday and bring it up to whatever my current target CL is, so since January 6th of this year that has been 7. I then check it again 4 or so days later. The CL at that point has dropped down to 2 or 3 and then I raise it back up.
That's a snapshot of part of my log. The CL numbers there are what it is when I take the reading and then I add liquid to bring it back up. What I am reading is that this may not be frequent enough, especially during the summer months?
Someone posted something about algae behind the light, I have never checked or cleaned there. I don't know how to take it off, is there something special you need to do so I don't get electrocuted or something? Power and water sounds like a bad combo.
