I followed the instructions having the pump running 30 min before sunset and before sunrise tests. SWG was off the entire time. I don't use a speedstir but do shake enough to make sure it is absorbed. I added salt twice over the last week, it is at 3600 PPM. After the OCLT test, I have had...

Thanks, I did the test and only lost 0.5 PPM overnight. Based on that, my understanding is I passed the test, correct. The multiport has the sight glass. It definitely clears up after a minute or so in backwash mode. That is when I switch to rinse. I guess it is possible that there...

I recently opened the pool with the help of a local pool company. Since opening, I have this issue where the pressure kept rising (25%+) over a 3-4 hr period and so I have been backwashing to get it back to a normal psi (generally around 14 psi at 3000 rpm). However, I have noticed since I...
