Ok thank you for the info!

I’m trying to test my FC level with the kit and when I add in r-0870 it turns the water pink like it should. So I move on to adding the 0871 and after about 5 drops the water turns clear so I assume I’m at a FC of 1 (using 25ml sample). But after a couple seconds the water will turn pink again...

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble as I am as finding bleach in stores here lately? Both Wal-Mart and Target have been out of their store brand for a few weeks now. They have a couple bottles of Clorox but it's almost $4 compared to $3 for store brand. Granted I've really...

I have the LaMotte 2056 kit. My FC level was pretty much 0. The pool wasn't running for close to 2 weeks due to my motor being broken and not running. Then had gone on vacation shortly after getting the new motor hooked up so can call it 3 weeks with 0 FC. It was very green! But now that I am...

Was just looking over the pages detailing how to do it and had a question as to my CYA level. I have a salt water pool and currently my level is low, I was in the process of raising it when my motor broke and everything just went bad. Anyhow should I continue to raise it to 70 as outlined on the...

I didn't replace, it had looked like it was still in good shape so I just reused. But now see that could have been a bad idea if it is in fact a bearing issue. From what I've read on replace the bearings it's pretty time consuming. Is it just easier to get a new motor and seal? - - - Updated -...

I had replaced my motor at the beginning of this season and it was running great with no issues. However after a bad storm about 2 or 3 weeks ago the water level had risen pretty high in the pool and the timer was set to turn on before I was able to drain some water out, and now the motor is...

Today was my first time using this test kit so can't really speak to the reliability either. Since I moved into this house roughly 2.5 years ago I have not added any CYA to it. So I can suspect it may be 0 or close to it. I will go by the store and get some and add it in there then. As far as...

I may have mixed up those numbers when I wrote them down after testing. I will run it again tomorrow to know for sure. Yeah I figured the CYA was an issue especially since I saw on the SWG balance post it should be between 70-80? My pool is in direct sunlight all day too. So I assume that could...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry took me a while to get back. That manual seems to be the exact system I have so was really helpful to have that now. Unfortunately it doesn't say anything about a blinking on/off light. I have hosed off the plates on the SWG but there is still some build up. Do you...

I have a Resilience SCC-25 salt cell and lately I've been noticing on the control box on the on/off spot the light is blinking red. I assume this means it is not producing any chlorine? There is some algae growing on the sides of my liner. The salt is in the proper range (3000-4000ppm) and...
