FC 0.1 TC 0.1 pH 7.5 TA 101 CH 405 CyA 53 Salt 2900 The plumbing takes a 90 degree turn 3" behind the SWG. Could that be my problem? Oh yeah, I cleaned the DE filter right around April 1st.

I have an IC60. I think it's officially 4 years old though I may be off by a year and it is actually the warranty replacement of the one I got at that time. It has been nothing but trouble. Every year I take it out and put in a pass through during the cold months, and usually I'm well into...

I'm certain that they're CYA was wrong. I triple checked mine. The puck story was from 5 years ago. I replaced the grids in the filter and the swg started producing right away at 1200 rpm. It wasn't producing before at 2000 rpm. That was 2 days ago. Checked the water today after not adding...

OCLT had 0 drop. My new grids will be here Monday. I'll install them and see how it goes. I wanted to ask though, how can the pool store screw up the numbers so much? Their number on CYA and CH were far different from mine. The CYA I understand because they could easily use too much water...

Thanks for the answer. I suspected that the filter was involved. So, I ordered new grids online yesterday. And for those that might doubt that the pool store is gouging you, the grids cost $350.00 at the pool store and I got them online for $129.00, with free shipping. I'll get the new grids...

Hi folks, Here's my issue. After much thought and reading and advice from TFP, I decided to go with a new SWG when I redid my pool back in November 2016. I left the SWG out of the system with a bypass for the first few months since it was cold and wasn't going to be doing anything anyway. In...

Jim, I don't know if there is another issue. Before the renovation for the 5 years I have owned this pool it always waterfalled, but became less and less as the filter came closer to needing cleaning. After the remodel I noticed that the jets weren't even showing a visible stream into the...

So I recently had my pool redone from the coping down. I saw the tile guy meticulously go over the spillways in the spa, checking for level between the two spillways and shaping the outer grout line by hand. So I am not saying that they didn't take the care with my pool that I would want...

Thanks for all of the helpful answers. I have never been involved with a pool at the start-up and was totally surprised by the sheer volume of chemicals I was needing for start-up. I expected lots of muriatic acid and liquid chlorine from what I had heard. But the rest of it has taken me by...

So sorry, FC was 2. I got CH of 60 and leslies got 90. When I did it, I rinsed and filled the large tube to the 25ml mark. I added 1 ml of R-0010 and swirled to mix. Then I added 5 drops of R-0011L and swirled to mix. The sample turned red. I added 1 drop at a time of R-0012, swirling...

I went to leslies to get liquid conditioner and he told me to add one bottle which was 1 gallon... I see on pool math that I still need 4 more. I am ordering them from amazon as they are about 13 dollars a gallon cheaper. My CH is at 2. My CYA after adding that gallon yesterday is still at 0...

Am I reading pool math correctly that I need 67 lbs. of calcium chloride to raise my CH from 60 to 260 in my 36000 gallon pool? And, I need to wait a month for that since it is not a liquid product and my plaster is brand new, right? Just trying to figure out how much to order. I am finding...

FC = 0 ppm CC = .6 ppm pH = 8+ TA = 80 ppm CH = 60 ppm CYA = 0 ppm I added 1 gallon or muriatic acid diluted in a 5 gallon bucket. according to the link provided above it said don't add chlorine for first 48 hours so that's all I've done other than turn the pump on low and brush the pool one...
