I cut the wires and bypassed the flow switch and my SWG started working again so I will order a flow sw. from the company whollins supplied. Thanks for your help. Paul

I get the no flow light on the control board but it use to flash now it burns steady. I took the FV out and there is no visible damage. I guess I will order a new FV and try it unless someone else has ideas. The $80 is much cheaper than the $1000 to replace. Thanks for your help. Paul

Thanks for the info. What was your SWG doing to determine the flow switch was bad. Mine the light comes on but does not flash like it use to for 60-90 seconds then it would start working. I was going to order a flow switch but was not sure and can not find a way to trouble shoot with certainty...

Test results shows the CH to be 100. Now what do I do with this information? My pool is still green. Thanks Paul

I found a guy here that can test the CH so I should know Tuesday. Thanks Paul

Sorry I just got back to this. Internet has been down for 2 days. I have HTH grandular Calcium Hydrochloride. Is it OK to use? We also have very hard water here in Costa Rica. Does this cause a problem? Thanks

Wow at $3.23 a gal for 3% that would run $452. Would HTH granular work? Thanks Paul

8 gallons of clorox and it is still GREEN. No change at all. Paul

I have a SWG and only use trichloro to shock. I put 8 gallons of Clorox in last night. Will let you know. There is no place here to have water tested so where do you find the CYA testers? Thanks Paul

Thanks Frank. The chlorine I get here is suppose to be TRICHLOR 90%.

Yes I can get Clorox here. How much should I add? 25,000 gallons water. Paul

Thanks Dave, I put 5 lbs of chlorine in last night and it did nothing. PH 7.6. 25,000 gallons. Is it possible to get bad chlorine. I ask because here in Costa Rica there is no regulation or enforcement of consumer products. You have to be careful about everything. Let the buyer beware was never...

Thanks Kevin. The filter is 1hp. Will get the algea killed and get to work cleaning. Paul

Thanks Dave. By the way we lived in Whitsett outside of Greensboro for 35 years. We now live in Costa Rica. Thanks for your help. Paul

Thanks Dave. When the algae is dead will the filter not remove it or is that why it is green its not dead? I am going to pool school now. Thanks Again Paul
