Aquarite SWG 3rd season

Number6,

just the fact that you're able to test 3 ppm at the return and 0 - 0.5 in the pool is evidence that your cell is producing chlorine,
make sure your cell is not scaled, as your TA is a little on the high side. 80-100 ppm would be much better.
As Waterbear suggests, add chlorine to get rid of your algae problem first. Ensure that you're able to maintain a FC in the pool, then you should be back to normal. With all this rain, you're either going to have to increase your system's output, or suppliment with bleach or tabs.

Thank you waterbear and Poolsean.

I have never used bleach. (I have relied upon powdered shock). How much should I use? Brand/type suggestions?

I take it that I should NOT pour bleach directly into the skimmer but, pour it around the perimeter?

I really appreciate this forum. I always get sound advice.

I'll let you know what happens. Stay tuned................

approx 8 gal of Ultra (6%) or 9 gal of regular(5.25%) will raise your 32k pool from 0 to 15 ppm. each gallon of Ultra will raise your pool just under 2 ppm (1.9 ppm) and each gallon of regular will raise it just over 1.5 ppm (1.6 ppm). I would use the rounded off numbers to make it easier, close enough for government work!

Thanks again, waterbear.

I just bought the three "Bs".
'Am looking forward to spending less money!
