    Issue with intex salt system

    The problem is, intex salt system shuts down if it indicates high/low salt, low pump flow or service. So it won’t work at all. Yah I did just that, tested to see when I got the indication. I could try adding more salt but that would make the level too high, unless the unit is old like you said...

    Issue with intex salt system

    So, today my salt system read low salt. However when tested to confirm the salt level actually came back kinda high. I have had my intex salt system now for 3 yrs. I’m trying to determine if my salt system may be malfunctioning. I guess I could go throw in a couple more bags of salt but based on...

    Massive Chlorine loss

    Hi, long time lurker, and have posted in here a few times a couple yrs ago between today and yesterday my pool has lost almost all chlorine. I read in another thread from someone else who had a similar issue. Someone had suggested that she may have aminia present due to critters that cause...

    filter pump

    it sounds like the plug may need to be replaced. I had that this yr with out sand filter. if you change out the plug on the end, it'll no longer have that test and reset feature, but will still run properly. they wear out after a while. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

    Take down or close?

    they've been pretty good but like you I've had to adjust running times, & raven at times add bleach. FC seemed to drop after rain. not bad cuz cya,was normal but with it raining day after day it kinda made it hard to keep everything running smoothely. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

    I know I hate this weather we have very had this year. the pool has gone green on me twice and I'm running a,swg. rain water must have a huge impact on chlorine levels and whatnot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

    you mean the inlets. the return is where the water returns in the pool. inlets are for suction. oh ok. I think I still have those black hat shaped plugs. if not I will just drain just below the holes in liner. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

    My pool is a swamp

    sorry I misspelled muriatic acid. Google keeps telling me it's wrong although I now have it right + no proper suggestions. I guess it doesn't recognise that word. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

    My pool is a swamp

    I would use the liquid chlorine, and try not to use the shock bags. they add cya. if your cya gets much higher your FC will also need to be much higher to be effective. the shock bags can also add combined chlorine. normally you would use Murionic acid to lower ph, but this yr I was using...
