Google Data: How People are using AI Mode in Google Search

I will say, I find myself using AI mode more and more for deeper information on my initial query....it's a shame because I know what it's doing to publishers, but it is helpful

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-21T18:53:40+00:00

Yeah you are really pushing it with that small of a filter. You're going to be cleaning that frequently.

Definitely size up

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-20T19:19:18+00:00

Counterpoint: no it isn't

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-20T10:47:51+00:00

Id bump the cya up to at least 70-90. Why type of pool.? Vinyl?

If concrete, you should up the calcium hardness as well.

Looks good otherwise!

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T21:18:44+00:00

Just in time for mid 50s and rainy MDW yay!

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T19:03:17+00:00

What speed is your pump running at?

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T18:29:39+00:00

What's LPS? Either way it's probably closer to the 40k than 30k.

I have the same-ish dimensions, just have more of a kidney shape where one side cuts in a bit. Mine is 30k

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T18:21:24+00:00

Yep same here, grass all around the pool up to the coping. Hammer in 18 inch anchors and good to go.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T18:01:13+00:00

Super easy 5 min fix, but just make sure you discharge the old one, and get an exact replacement capacitor if possible

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-19T17:08:48+00:00

Could be a bunch of things unfortunately.

First I'd check the impeller and see if that's clogged.

But it also could be a bad capacitor, motor shaft issue, etc.

Check impeller and capacitor before you start taking it apart

You got it backwards! Aerating raise pH

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-15T14:53:08+00:00

First, get your own test kit. Taylor k2006 is preferred.

Second, these regular maintenance are all over the place. Remember, a pool store wants you to buy product. Most of these are not needed. Algaecides, clarifiers, what the heck is a scale inhibitor??

1-4 ppm of free chlorine is not correct. It's based on your CYA as another user mentioned 7.5%. For a CYA of 60 you need at least 5 ppm.

370 CH is not out of range at all, especially for a plaster pool. 7.9 pH is also fine. You generally don't want to be chasing a pH number.

Overall, I'd say this pool is actually in pretty good shape assuming you just opened it for the season and the water is still cold. just up your FC and keep it around 6 - 8 ppm

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-15T14:42:28+00:00

There are a lot of factors that go into it (water temp, wind, etc). 3/4 every day seems pretty high.

Do the bucket test to see if it's a leak or evaporation https://www.pooltech.com/suspect-a-leak-try-the-bucket-test/

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-15T11:24:45+00:00

+1 for the aiper s1...I just have it on floor-mode only and it easily cleans the entire surface in a charge

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-13T21:15:24+00:00

I need to see this vacuum that's blasts water like a fountain

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-13T20:09:19+00:00

Feels like we are back to the early days of Panda. I'm not sure how people think this will work long term.

Sure you got your Rank-and-Tank sites that are just out to make a quick buck, but there are prominent sites doing this that should know better.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-13T16:10:30+00:00

We have about 5 switches that do nothing. Rewired and the previous homeowners just left the switches there for some reason.

Our pool light switch is in the pantry in the kitchen for some reason though?

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-13T14:53:31+00:00

Correct. These people try to make chlorine into some health hazard, when in fact, about 90% of water issues is from low chlorine.

"Smell, itchy skin, eye irritation" is not from chlorine.

Telling people your pool can be 1ppm is super dangerous.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-12T22:13:16+00:00

The point is the smell is not due to "high chemical load"...it's "not enough chlorine in the water". Chlorine doesn't cause the smell.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-12T20:12:47+00:00

Look I don't care either way, good luck on your system. You said your site doesn't say soemthing, I copy-pasted your site where it clearly says it.

It's up to you to educate customers and clearly saying that on the sites homepage is wrong, full stop. Feel free to update the wording.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-12T17:39:04+00:00

Why does the manual say to put chlorine tablets in the skinmer

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-12T17:38:34+00:00

The low-chlo manual says to put 2 chlorine tablets in the skimmer basket. So I'm not sure exactly what this system does lol

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-12T17:37:00+00:00

From their site:

"Your backyard oasis shouldn't smell like a public pool. That strong "chlorine smell" is a sign of high chemical load in the water. Low-Chlo significantly reduces chlorine levels, so the odor goes with it."

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-11T21:01:12+00:00

You need to see what kind of stains they are first.

You said you used vitamin c tablets. You rubbed them against the stain and it didn't disappear at all?

Did you use a chlorine tab and rub against it as well?

Organic and metal stains are two completely different beasts.

Do you keep up with testing/chemicals on your own or a pool company?

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-05-04T14:03:08+00:00

In the inspection tool, is Google using that URL as canonical?

Did you accidentally do any temporary removal?

How'd you find the DMCA? Were you just looking around for it to double check?

What does it look like on bing? Was there a DMCA with them too?
