I have a few more questions if you don't mind. Would I need the RJ model? What is a flow sensor or flow control? Is that something I should consider? I attached a few pics of my plumbing set up.

Which model Aqua-Trol (is that Hayward?) would be a good fit for my pool? I believe mine is 14,000 gallons, AGP of course. I read that you should get a SWG that is for a capacity much larger than what your pool actually is. Is that true?

Thanks for the help guys!

Would you recommend the Intex over the ChlorEase? What else would be a consideration at maybe a few hundred dollars more? Thanks for the reply.

The pool store wants me to get a ChlorEase CL02 Ultra Saltwater Chlorinator. It is $299. Is this a good unit for my pool or do you have a better recommendation? Thanks!

Hey Guys! I have to replace one of the valve's in my above ground pool's plumbing and wanted to get your input on how I should do it as I am not much of a handyman but I can definitely follow detailed directions! The valve was frozen shut so I tapped it with a rubber mallet and both ears broke...

I have a 24' above ground pool. I am looking for a really good manual vacuum. The robot one that came with it is a joke. I want to actually vacuum the pool myself and am not worried about the extra work. There is a good bit of leaves in it now because of the winter but during the summer...

I do have the recommended kit.

Hello Forum! Ive been away for a while and my 24' above ground pool was neglected in my absence. The water is a light murky green and I was wondering what I need to do to get it back in shape. I was planning on getting it crystal clear again and keeping it that way all winter. I live in...

I put in 2 containers of CYA from Wal-mart...6 pounds total I believe. I am only using bleach.

So sorry for the delay....here are my latest readings.... CYA - 70 TA - 150 CC - 0 FC - 7 ppm pH - 7.2 Water is very clear.

Alright....I have all weekend to get this going correctly. I will test again shortly and post. Other than bleach and stabalizer what else do I need to have on hand? I cannot find the pH lowering chemical (muriaic acid) at Lowes or Wal-Mart. Is this something I need to get at a pool shop?

I will of course go with your suggestions. i will keep testing tomorrow (got a half day) and post what I find. can't thank you enough for this. I have a couple of neighbors wgo are watching closely at what I am doing with your help.

Thank you so much. It says add 116 oz of bleach for FC and for pH it says add 24oz of 31.45% - 20 Baume of muriatic acid.

Where the pool calculator says "Goal" and "Not set up" ...i put your recommended numbers in "Goal" and "Not set up is where I put my current test results? Pool is 14K gallons. It says add 52oz of Borax for the PH.
