Re: Pink slime!
waterbear's Checklist:
"Raise the CYA to 80 ppm and run your FC between 4-5 ppm and you will be golden." (I added the last pound of stabilizer that I had, so the CYA is probably about 60 now; FC still running about 6.0, but it should fall since I'm running the SWCG less time now)
Drop the TA to 70 ppm (it's at 80 now; I'll just let it fall to 70 on its own over time)
Keep the CH between 400-450 (I boosted CH way up to just under 400 now. Will top off next weekend after I'm assured my CH addition yesterday is thoroughly mixed)
Keep the pH no lower than 7.6 and drop it when it hits 8.0 (it was at 7.4 Saturday, and is probably 7.6 today; I'll add less acid when it's time to adjust the pH downward)
Keep salt between 3000 and 3500 ppm (currently running 3.3 or 3.4 according to the SWCG; pool store co's said it's a bit lower than that reading)
I checked the SWCH plates and sensor yesterday -- first time ever since getting our pool last May! -- and the sensors were spotless, the plates had no build-up of any gunk that I could see. I'll check on that again since I'm running higher calcium now, to ensure the plates and sensor stay clean.
And there was no pink slime to be seen anywhere in the pool this weekend. Lookin' good!
