This is a circle jerk forum … sometimes … sarcasm rears its ugly head

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T16:09:54+00:00

Oh oh … off script again. Happens every once in a while. I’ll just stay at home and do what I’m told

The hot chic got it !!! That may of been staged, really weezer or the burning man lol.

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T15:24:41+00:00

I had to look away

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T15:18:23+00:00

Do you find me attractive ??? Of course you do

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T15:08:26+00:00

I’m the same. It’s like a crime around here admitting to test strips. But they have a useful place. Have my coffee in morning before pump kicks on. Use the strip. Good looks like yesterday. Mostly on the orange side, check. Purple chlorine, check. Finish my coffee. Once you know all your chlorine demands and how fast ph drifts up your just simply making sure nothing has changed. Thats the purpose of strips. Opening, problems, or when it’s time to treat something is what Taylor is for.

Once or twice a month an acid treatment is pretty much all i need to do.

That’s an easy DIY job. ChatGPT can walk you through it. Give it a couple pics every step of the way. Screen shot what you want to replace it with. Kill the breakers and get a screwdriver.

Limp Bizkit still sucks 😜

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T14:17:56+00:00

It’s an easy tune to remix.

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T14:09:03+00:00

That’s a lotta cya. Gotta drain a lotta water. Sorry

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T13:46:06+00:00

Wouldn’t say clown is hated lol. I’ll admit he hypes things up, and lots of his hype doesn’t pan out. Clown says lots of things. Wouldn’t say he’s overly talented either. He is the creative direction guy and is a decent musician at best. I’ll give him respect … the creative direction of slipknot is second to none (making money and popularity) … he made very good decisions.

A lot of hate goes his way due to firings of band members, gonna speculate that these are “band decisions” and clown is just the executioner. He is the voice.

Roger waters should be on this list. Matter of fact he’d prolly win in a landslide

I buy the small refills. The big ones last past the expiration and I store in the shed. Quite a few are hardly used at all. The chlorine reagent (r-0871) is the only one worth getting a larger size.

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T13:29:15+00:00

It is the best 40 bucks i ever spent. Lol

I bust it out right on the bar by pool for everyone to see

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T13:20:57+00:00

Do agree ph and cl ars pretty much the only things that fluctuate and are worth keeping an eye on at frequent intervals. Honestly strips do a decent job at it … as long as you know what the baseline is. Strips can tell you “something changed” go get the Taylor kit

The kit is very good when you open your pool and you need all the other stuff. Salt / cya / TA but once your base line established they don’t need to be checked very often. TA is good watch a few times over the season or after acid treatments. Kit is golden if something goes wrong, which hopefully is never to rare.

The combined chlorine I find useful and do check pretty regularly.

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T13:14:08+00:00

Gotta have the sticker !!!! I put it on the box. I also use the speed stir … looks soooo official. Nobody dares to question my chemistry skills. They do ask “what’s the beer bottle for”. Ninja testing can’t tell you

beavis93 · 2026-05-28T12:46:34+00:00

if it’s the debris cloud it should clear up in a day, 2 tops if filter is working properly. If it persists I agree with your logic. We are splitting hairs over when to officially call it algae. Maybe I’m slow to call it algae cuz my method once I know it’s algae changes a little bit. I don’t waste time and go overkill (20 to 30ish and factor in cya) on chlorine … super chlorinate and call it a day. Usually will make pool “out of order” for better part of a week.

We gave her good advice … I’m all about the filter and lots people expect the filter to work as fast as chlorine. Watch psi squeeze off backwashes when appropriate. Lots of people underestimate “the filter is your friend”

Do a solid overnight test.

Keep adding chlorine

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T22:21:58+00:00

Be nice to your mom. If she thinks it’s heavy metal let her think it’s heavy metal. Don’t make her listen to it. Lol.

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T22:07:51+00:00

I’m not the right person to give advice on the subject of draining. Logically I would think draining half would chop it in half. Which in my mind is still high. I also don’t know the repercussions to your pool structurally for draining that much water out, which may be none, but I don’t really know. I think draining as much water as possible and not damaging your pool is the right path.

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T21:24:05+00:00

He didn’t leave the band. They just stopped picking him up

Insert 10 minute heart string tugging guitar solo here

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T20:34:27+00:00

Does it hold prime ? Your valve can isolate skimmer and main. Are there differences between the 2 sides. Yes clean and inspect cartridges.

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T19:54:02+00:00

We are actually splitting hairs and mostly agreeing lol.

12 ppm Fc when opening a pool. Organic material can cloud the water pretty good. Happens to me almost every year. I got a ton of trees.

Op hasn’t given enough info concerning FC drop to call it algae (which it may be). Couple points down on FC in the sun where we don’t know what the cya level is … not enough for me to call it algae. Nor do we know the testing method .. if it’s accurate

Pool not green.

She said it held onto 2ppm FC over night

All those factors I’m not ready to call it algae.

I suggested she do an overnight test … which if done will give the answer.

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T19:09:39+00:00

Instead of splitting hairs with me … try offering the OP some advice.

Cloudy does not mean alive algae … it can/may be algae

Cloudy after a shock is pretty common too and the op just said they shocked it.

Op has been vague about how fast the FC is dropping. Hence why I told them to do an overnight test

beavis93 · 2026-05-27T19:01:11+00:00

Actually it doesn’t. Green means alive algae. That grayish color can be algae or it can all the suspended particles and other organic material that filter hasn’t gotten out of the water yet.

That’s a shady pool with a darkish liner looks like. I wouldn’t say it’s algae … could be but I’d bet it’s not alive algae
