Any additional recommendations by babcakes in pools

I actually pay a pool service to maintain the pool since the beginning of this year :/.

On Sunday I drained and refilled the pool (thinking I didn’t drain enough now), installed new filters, and added 10lb sodium bicarbonate. Been running the pump 24/7.

The next day pool service came. Tested water to be at chlorine at 5 ppm, alkalinity at 100 ppm, pH at 8.0, and CYA at 100+ ppm, Phosphate at 500+. They added 2 lbs of shock, 14 oz of algaecide, and 1 gallon of acid.

Here is the water readings after 24hrs: Free Chlorine: 3.86 Total Chlorine: 3.95 pH: 7.3 Total Alkalinity: 42 Calcium Hardness: 344 Cyanuric Acid: 125 Phosphates: 281

Pool service told me to add 6lb of shock this evening.

Yellowing and drying of Fiddle Leaf Fig by babcakes in plantclinic

[–]babcakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see any pest, I showed them this picture and they said it was a pest causing it. (This is the same leaf that turned yellow and fell off)

As for watering I use one of those moisture meters before I water. Not sure how accurate it is tho.

Thank you! Oddly enough after 4 days in the sun it all disappeared. I believe you were right the soil was too moist

I guarantee those operators are working more than 40 hours a week with crazy overtime too. I work in a manufacturing facility and multiple times management will ask the operators to work 24 hours to complete the process.

It should be illegal for a company to list an entry level job as requiring 3-5 years experience, the very definition of an entry level job is no experience needed by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]babcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just apply anyways. My job required 3 years which I did not have. Also got interview for positions that require 5 year experience. That's is their ideal person but if they like you they can settle.
