    How long does SWG build up take typically?

    Prepping for our 4th pool season and just did annual SWG inspection. It looks clean (see photo) to us and compared to photos online. Is this unusual? Not complaining, just want to be careful. Have read the TRP primer on SWGs. Run ours according to water temp, about Apr-Nov, then unplug and shift...

    CYA advice needed

    My Pentair Intellichlor15 SCG manual recommends 30-50ppm CYA. Think I read 60-90ppm on TRP. Should I follow the manufacturer manual? Would appreciate any recommendations for brands/retailers for granular stabilizer. Just used my new TF100 test kit and I have zero CYA ☹️
