It could be related. Let's see how your OCLT goes to ensure the are no chemistry/filter overload issues first and go from there.

Welcome! :wave:

Some of what you are describing sounds like heavy organic products reducing your return key pressure and possibility causing back pressure at that pump. Can you post a full set of test results? Have you tried doing an by chance?

You're welcome to enjoy the forum and refer to our for may helpful articles, but be sure to check with your local municipalities for any commercial-specific guidance. Welcome to TFP and have a great day. :wave:

New tubs have factory oils and coating from initial build. There's quite a bit of residual product coating the lines of the tub. We generally recommend every new tub receive a thorough "Ahh-Some" product purge to cleanse the lines.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing and welcome to TFP! :wave:

So many ways to do this. I do almost the same as Jim. In the end, it's very easy. Just don't let the sock lay against the side of the pool.

Welcome to TFP! :wave: As a new pool owner, let's be sure to take this in some simple steps: 1 - Get yourself a TF-Series (or Taylor K-2006C) test kit. I have the TF-100, but any of the TF-Series kits are great. See my signature for a link. Speaking of which, your signature is blank. If...

Nothing in your description would explain such a radical shift in TA so quickly. That's odd. :scratch: Is there any chance someone mistakenly poured acid into the tub as opposed to the chlorine? If not, then what about an initial purge? Did you do one? If not, I would make that step #1...

In pics 2 & 3, am I seeing that correctly? The sides seem to have a waving type of bow to them? Not just a steady outward bow from the center, but in & out along each side? Side note, looks like a typo in your first post (August 2024)?

I would guess the next areas to check would be the drains and the liner. You would hope the water will stop dropping soon to indicate a waterline area with a puncture, but you never know until it drops.

A follow up to the jets, just be sure there are no cracks inside the jet fitting. I had one last year in the 12 O'Clock position and had to replace the entire jet fitting.

Welcome! :wave:

I never diluted the dye when I squirted it in. It will dissipate on its own. If you find a cracked fitting, repair might depend on the severity of the crack and/or exact position in the fitting. If you find a defect let us know and we'll do some brainstorming. As for the vinyl verticals, I'm...
