Just double checking my understanding here... Since I'm using SWG, are my minimums actually lower? Like 3-8? Not arguing the possibility that my pool is telling me it needs more FC, just making sure I'm shooting for the right targets

I've considered that perhaps my FC is falling too low, but I'm not so sure it would be.... Certainly I'm not testing multiple times a day, but I am testing afternoon/late afternoon usually, so i'd expect my loss to have happened given by late afternoon (i.e. 4pm), suns off my pool. My results...

Hello fellow TFP'ers. I'm curious for opinions on my situation. I'm battling what very well appears to be mustard algae for the second time in as many years. Also at the same time of the year, early-mid August. Very positive it's mustard algae not pollen. At first i vacuumed it all up...

Is teflon paste something along the lines of Rectorseal pipe sealant?

Howdy fellow TFP'ers. I will admit I don't mess with the plumbing of my equipment much, but not afraid to attempt the repairs. I have a small leak from the input side of my sand filter. In the close up shots attached, you'll see the connection is made with what appears to me as some type of...

Thanks Marty. Somewhere I thought I read drift was common with SWCG, thanks for setting me straight on that.

Hello TFP'ers, Historically, I've always had to add small doses of muriatic acid over the summer months, which I understand is pretty normal with a SWCG. However, this year, two months in, I haven't had to add a single drop, pH has basically stayed 7.4 for two months. Double checked that I...

Thanks... I see you have the nautilus cc plus... that is what I went with. You happy thus far with it? I'm on day 2 with it and am loving how much better it cleans than my Polaris

I saw a related post and they mentioned folks in TX as well. I'm assuming it's related to the winter weather this past Feb killing equipment?

Yeah, good idea on the return. I wouldn't mind that :). Shouldn't go green just by the way it is plumbed, there is a passive flow of water coming out of it due to how it's connected. Thanks!

This year I decided to retire my very old Polaris cleaner and move to a robotic cleaner. Great decision, however I've still got this booster pump plumbed in and I replaced the motor last year. Not sure I really feel like removing it at this moment, so my question is, "What, if anything, has...

This is only year I've ever had to do it, but I've had to use 73% cal-hypo when I opened up and luckily i bought enough as my salt cell died and that's been hard to find. My CH is usually pretty low (75 at open) so I've felt ok using cal-hypo just for a short while.
