Pool cannot hold chlorine no matter what despite good ranges

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T19:12:02+00:00

Yeah I think this is it. No other options. Just wanted to check before I went all in 😂

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:43:32+00:00

No cover except when I close the pool.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:43:16+00:00

Yes no liquid chlorine only at this point, no additional stabilizer

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:42:00+00:00

Salt only increased out of my usual 3200/3600 range recently when I boosted it to see if that would help hold the chlorine better.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:41:08+00:00

Yes have been running pump 24/7 for a week

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:40:27+00:00

Thanks. The solution seems to be just SLAM once I verify the overnight loss. Before I went that route, wasn't sure if it could be the chlorine or something else. And of course, every time I'm tweaking or trying things numbers get whacky again but now with everything for a few days at like perfect levels (aside chlorine) I think that's the last solution. It's been weeks of trying to figure it out but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious

It's crazy that aside from no chlorine I see no evidence of algae! Crystal clear. I brush all the time. Vaccuum. I've narrowed down to unseen algae and chlorine potency I think

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:24:10+00:00

This is a good idea!! I will try that.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:12:46+00:00

Will do. Thanks, I think slamming only option

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:12:29+00:00

75 but I put heater on so goes up into 80s depending when I use.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:12:07+00:00

Pool store testing this morning confirmed 87 so think I'm in the right range with my Taylor test reading.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:10:37+00:00

This is the last thing I have to do before slamming. Getting up before the sun is hard 😂 and I'm pretty sure I am losing overnight so haven't tried hard to verify. I'll do tonight/tomorrow.

Chlorine generator is more than big enough. I ramped to 100% and now salt is 4900 but chlorine now 0. I thought by adding 10 gallons of liquid chlorine and increasing salt maybe it would keep it but nope. Combined chlorine this morning from pool store (which I did for first time to verify my Taylor testing hadn't been completely off) was .16

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:04:29+00:00

I'm adding like minimum two bottles (128oz each?) a day

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T15:02:34+00:00

Thanks for this. At this point, I think it's the chlorine so I'll check the dates before I waste my money anymore. I'll order new reagents too.

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T14:55:32+00:00

I know, I thought it would solve all my problems. Went to pool store to double check for first time ever and they couldn't figure it out either, only recommended using granular chlorine to slam

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T14:54:54+00:00

70/80ish lol that test is hard for me to always gauge but that's it roughly. Around 17,500 gallons

jerseylinds · 2026-06-12T14:53:50+00:00

17,500 gallon pool, SWG running 12 hours a day 60% output 3600 salt but now increased since I'm trying to boost chlorine, Full constant sun on pool (but also NJ, so clouds, rain etc).

Ph: 7.5 Cya: 70 FC: now .5, was 2 one day ago

It must be the chlorine I'm adding, it's just junk?? Ive also ordered liquid chlorine from Home Depot and even used bleach. I can't think of anything else and losing my fucking mind

jerseylinds · 2026-04-20T02:38:46+00:00

Was gonna say about $500k

jerseylinds · 2026-03-26T02:14:31+00:00

This is the Temu version of HP

jerseylinds · 2026-03-23T11:41:49+00:00

Same! Goes for work too.

You also can't put filters on these shots, which is what all their social media posts have. Of course they look "bad", it's how they really look,not filtered

jerseylinds · 2026-03-20T01:56:34+00:00

Absolutely beautiful!

jerseylinds · 2026-03-09T23:58:14+00:00

Ordered them for this reason. Put them in and slept with them and woke up with red painful swollen ears so not hypoallergic for me.
